What do I do if the person who drew me didn't send a gift?

Sometimes mail is delayed or lost. If you're certain your gift hasn't been sent, here are a couple of steps you can take.

Elfster helps you host and participate in fun gift exchanges by simplifying your wishing and gifting. Giving is rewarding, but it's no fun to be in a gift exchange and not receive a gift. If you didn't receive a gift in a gift exchange you participated in, please reach out to your organizer (see below) or follow the steps to reach out to the person who drew your name 🎩. While you won't know who they are, they will know the message came from you.

  1. Select Exchanges located in the menu bar

  2. Select the Gift Exchange you are participating in

  3. In the Gifting Section, under Someone is shopping for you, click on Send them a message

  4. Add your message to the box and click Send

Elf Code doesn't allow us to reveal who drew you, but you can contact your Organizer to let them know that you didn't receive a gift. They have access to the list of who drew whom in the exchange and can reach out to the person who drew you to resolve the situation.

  1. Go to your Gift Exchange page

  2. The Organizer is listed at the top of the Guest List in the left column

  3. Click on the three dots by their name

  4. Select Contact the Organizer

  5. Compose your message and Send
