Gift Exchange Manager

This app makes it easy to run a Yankee Swap or White Elephant gift exchange

If you've ever been to a corporate holiday party or a family gift exchange, you've probably participated in a Yankee Swap or a White Elephant gift exchange. Everyone draws a number from a hat, and your chosen number could mean snagging that awesome $15 waffle iron, or a $15 hardcover version of "Everybody Poops". Have you ever wondered whether there was a better way of organizing one of these events? Never have enough paper or pens available? Have a last minute addition that you weren't expecting? Ever wondered if the game would be more fun if everyone didn't know up front what number they would have?

This app makes it easy to set up and run a Yankee Swap or White Elephant gift exchange. Simply enter the names of all of your players, and let the app manager tell you who goes next. Players are chosen at random as the game progresses, making the next player a mystery until he/she is chosen by the game! Once a player has chosen, use the app to enter a brief description and take a picture of the item, to make it easier for the next player to know what gifts are available.
