How Wichtellab works
From idea to gift it takes just four steps. Your team needs neither an account nor an app, just an email inbox.
1. Create a round
Give your round a name and optionally set a budget, a deadline for wishes and an exchange date. Then add the team one by one with name and email address, and you can change any person later. A whole list from Excel or Outlook can also be pasted in at once.
If you like, you define couples or close colleagues who should not draw each other.
2. Confirm by email
You receive an email and confirm your address with one click. This prevents anyone from inviting others without asking. Only then do the invitations go to your team.
Everyone invited also confirms with one click. Anyone who does not want to take part can decline right away.
3. Add wishes
Everyone adds what they would enjoy: up to ten wishes with link and note. Sizes, allergies and anything that must not be given are added too.
Wishes are collected before the draw so everything is ready the moment names are drawn. Who your match is only becomes clear after the draw.
4. Draw and match link
As soon as everyone has confirmed and added their wishes, the draw happens automatically. Each person gets an email with a personal link to their match and wishlist, including a calendar entry for the exchange.
If someone is missing in the end, you decide: remind again, remove the person or draw without them.
Good to know
These things make Wichtellab fair and stress-free:
- Even you as the organizer never see who gives to whom.
- Nobody draws themselves. Without exclusions there are no mutual pairs.
- If someone drops out you can draw again. Everyone then gets a new email.
- All data is deleted automatically after the exchange.
