Do I have to participate in the Gift Exchange?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Organizers are automatically included in each Elfster Gift Exchange—after all, you deserve to be part of the festive fun, too! But if you’d prefer to sprinkle the magic from the sidelines and just organize, you can opt out of participating.

Organizers are automatically included in each Gift Exchange

If you want to just organize and not be included in the draw, select the No, I'm just organizing the fun under Are you participating? when you create the Gift Exchange.

Some of the reasons you might organize, but not participate in a Secret Santa Gift Exchange would be:

  • You are organizing a Gift Exchange among children; cousins for example.

  • You are organizing a Gift Exchange at work for a different department.

  • You are organizing a Gift Exchange for an online group.

If you are participating and want to change to only organizing or vice versa you can change your reply on the left-hand side of the Gift Exchange homepage under the Guest List.
