You should never draw the same person twice in a row, as long as you select this group has used Elfster before when creating the Gift Exchange.
Good news! 🎁 Names are drawn randomly, but Elfster takes guests’ recent draws into account when assigning names. That means that if you create a new Gift Exchange with the same group, Elfster works to avoid assigning you the same person you drew in a previous exchange unless no other options are available.
⚠️ Please note that the number of people participating, Draw Restrictions set by the organizer in the current Elfster Gift Exchange, International Shipping by Country, and participation in other Gift Exchanges may affect how names are drawn.
⚠️ Deleting a past Elfster Gift Exchange will remove the draw information for that Gift Exchange from Elfster. If this happens, there would be a greater chance that participants may draw the same person they drew in the deleted Gift Exchange.
