Anonymous messages and questions can only be asked by people you are in an Elfster Gift Exchange with. Ask your draw questions to choose the perfect gift without giving away your identity.
✉️ How to Message the Person You Drew
By default, messages to the person you drew are marked to send anonymously. If you uncheck the Send Anonymously box, your name will be displayed.

- Select the name of the person you would like to message
- Click Send a Message in the top right corner.
