Chantalle The Hot Cocoa Elf - was so helpful in getting my issue resolved! Very patient and thorough! She's a great elf and exceeded my expectations of making sure that the customer is satisfied. A wonderful asset to Elfster!

The Joy of Giving
November 30, 2021

I set up my first Elfster secret Santa for my team and I messed it up pretty badly with several people listed twice, ect. Well Emma the sled elf saved the day with her kindness, patience and great service. All is now well and Christmas is saved!

I've been using Elfster for quite sometime now, mostly as a participant. But, now I've been the Admin in the Gift Exchanges. Ran with a problem, and the customer service where there to help! It was quick and easy.

I organized our group of friends' Secret Santa for our kiddos. First time we set up our kids' profiles. It was quite confusing on how to go about it. Most of us didn't know we had to be on our kids' profile to accept the invitation to the exchange and a host of other issues. HOWEVER, I contacted their Help desk online. Jewel the Elf saved the day! She was very fun, friendly and most of all HELPFUL! She took care of all 6 issues we had and she did it while having great spirits and great customer service skills. We gave her a round of applause! TY, Jewel!

Was having trouble joining an exchange that a co-worker had set up. In the end it turned out the organizer had sent the wrong invitation link out. Elizabeth resolved the problem in minutes, and explained what needed to happen to fix it for the others in the group, including sending a link to the correct invitation. Very efficient and helpful.

I made a few mistakes setting up my exchange and Meghan McJingle helped me get it all straight! Yay! She was awesome and the app is so much fun! And the organizer does not pick names - it's all anonymous and it works great! Thank you!

Yes! FINALLY!
November 12, 2018

FINALLY a website that draws names in a way no one can figure out. I won't mention the other website, but when you had a person's name... the next year that person had YOUR name... so it was easy to figure out who had who. I love the look of the website and that they have online chat if you have a question.

Best service ever!
November 30, 2018

I was going around in circle trying to figure out how to do something, and getting quite frustrated. I saw the chat option, and within the most 1 minute, I was happily navigating my way in Elfster.
Thank you so much Sparkle!
You are the best and so so so helpful!

I have used Elfster for three years now. I was having a problem and Pinky the Elf was great in helping get it fixed. Our famiily loves the ease Elfster has made it for us all to do an exchange and it has really taken all the stress out of our holiday. I'm very happy I found your site. It has allowed us to give our gifts and get back to the real meaning of the Christmas Season!

Thank you Elfster for this special gift you have given to our family!

Im sort of disappointed.
December 28, 2020

You have a great website elfster! I love it and changed me, but it removed my stuff! I had a bunch of stuff on my wishlist and it all disappeared? It may be an issue through the website, if so they need to fix it soon. Plus, they aren't against gender roles. The mens section was filled of stuff i didn't like. It may just be me but PLEASE fix your website..

I actually came across this site thanks to a friend. Make secret santa exchanges MUCH easier, so that husband can't get paired with wife, ect. Plus, my family lives all over, so an electronic secret santa that remained secret was a HUGE plus! Not to mention the Wishlist feature that is connected to Amazon. When I had a question, Pinky the Elf not only answered it with great patience, but also made me feel better when I had that DUH moment. LOVE IT! Will use this every year.

So helpful!
November 25, 2018

My family and I wanted to do a Secret Santa this year so we went to the Elfster site! We have a large family so we wanted to be sure none of the immediate families got each other. Jewel the elf was SO nice and EXTREMELY helpful! She answered my question quickly and effectively. Will definitely be using Elfster again in the future!

BEST customer services
November 18, 2021

I had a problem with the admin of the secret santa I was participating in and Holly was amazing from beginning to end (well almost end as she is following up with me) I have ZERO bad things to say about Elfster besides that one admin.
