Office Secret Santa without spreadsheets or paper slips

Company holiday party, a team Christmas get-together or a team trip: yay.gift draws who buys a gift for whom, keeps track of dates and sends reminders for you. You don't need to know who drew whom - even if you take part yourself.

The whole team in a few minutes

The easiest way is to paste one link in the company chat - everyone signs up with a name and email. You can also add people from a list: in a form or from a CSV file, up to 300 at once and up to 1000 in one draw. Each person gets an invitation with a personal link, with no codes to copy.

Invitations go out at the time you choose, e.g. Monday at 9:00 rather than Friday evening.

Exclusions and department groups

At work, someone often shouldn't draw a specific person: couples who give each other gifts anyway, or members of one team. Before the start you add excluded pairs or groups - people in one group won't draw each other. yay.gift checks that the draw is possible with these rules before it starts.

A budget nobody feels awkward about

You set the amount range and everyone suggests an amount within it, without seeing what colleagues picked. The median wins, so neither the most generous nor the most modest person sets the budget. Everyone gets the result by email.

Large groups and people who don't reply

  • Start threshold: the draw starts at the chosen time once e.g. 80% have confirmed; the rest don't take part and you get an email with their names.
  • Automatic reminders for those who haven't spun, plus a "Remind now" button.
  • A "Who has spun" list without revealing matches.
  • Dropping out after the start doesn't break the draw: a volunteer or the system takes over the gift.

How much an office draw costs

Your first Secret Spin and small draws are free, and larger groups pay once per draw. The price depends on the number of people and is shown in the panel before the start; online payment is only needed to start the draw. No subscription and no fees for participants.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost?

The first 99 draws on your account are free. After that, the price depends on the number of people: 1 PLN net (1.23 PLN incl. VAT) per person. For example, 40 people come to 49.20 PLN incl. VAT. The Wishlist is free. You pay through the external payment system ING Pay, operated by ING Bank Śląski S.A. based in Katowice, or through Stripe. The service is digital, so there's no delivery cost.

Can the organizer take part in the draw?

Yes. The organizer adds themselves as a participant and spins the wheel like everyone else. The panel still doesn't show them the matches.

Do employees need to install an app?

No. yay.gift works in the browser on phones and computers, including a work laptop.

What about people who don't confirm?

You set a start threshold. With a percentage threshold only confirmed people are drawn and the rest don't take part. You can also assume everyone takes part.

Can I pause the draw if someone joins too late?

Yes, until matches are revealed. Results are discarded, the draw goes back to draft and you can add the person; after resuming everyone spins again. Amounts, wishes and exclusions are kept.
