Gift giving takes many forms, from large family Secret Santas to intimate exchanges between partners. To navigate these different scenarios, we use different tools. Today, we’re comparing GiftFeels and Elfster.
Elfster: The Secret Santa King
Elfster is the undisputed champion of organizing group gift exchanges. Whether it’s a family Christmas, a workplace Secret Santa, or a friend group white elephant, Elfster handles the logistics.
Best for:
- Drawing names anonymously.
- Creating public wishlists.
- Managing large groups.
GiftFeels: The Intimate Connection
GiftFeels is the polar opposite of a group exchange. It is strictly a two-player game. You don’t use GiftFeels to organize who is buying what for whom. You use GiftFeels to continually ‘gift’ your attention and love to one specific person.
Best for:
- Couples looking for a private digital space.
- Daily connection through shared questions.
- Keeping track of shared memories and important dates.
- Sending simple, no-pressure ‘thinking of you’ signals.
Which Do You Need?
You likely need both, but at different times of the year! Use Elfster in December to manage the chaos of family gifting. Use GiftFeels year-round to maintain a strong, private connection with your significant other. While Elfster helps you buy the right physical item, GiftFeels helps you build the right emotional connection.
