Each year for Christmas each person in my family is assigned one other person to give a gift to.

We want it to be a surprise so we can’t have a rotation

We can’t have ourselves or our spouse

We can’t have the person we had last year

We would like to make it more likely to get someone that we haven’t been assigned for awhile.

My program automatically sends out an email to each person with their assignment.

I like it because it forces you to try to get to know the person better so that you can get them a good gift. Strengthens family bonds etc.
