How many websites receive hundreds of kudos and compliments from delighted customers? Elfster does, every year.
Since our inception, we’ve received thousands of emails thanking us for the service and telling us
how it helped make their gift exchange with family, friends or colleagues special. It’s pretty cool.
Our spring 2008 Customer Survey alone inspired participants to send us more than 300 unsolicited
compliments about elfster. All we can say is — Thank You!
Here's a (tiny) sample of our customers' comments . . .
Every year I head the gift exchange with my friends ... I send out the wrong names, forget addresses, leave out people, or just plain get stressed out over it ... this year we are using elfster and I am so happy! What a great idea!
~ Kelli
Fabulous web site!!! We used it at work and it was perfect! We are a company of professional web developers, so it takes a lot to impress us! Excellent idea - beautifully executed.
~ Joy
elfster was a definite hit this Christmas. I heard my technically-apathetic mother recommending it to her friends. So you're definitely doing things right. Happy holidays to you and your family.
~ Nolan
Thank you for your extra-quick response ... and thank you again for the site, my family is enjoying the whimsy and ease of use. This is our third year of Secret Santa and our first online. So far, much more fun this way ...
~ John
It all worked out wonderfully. I had a great time, everyone loves elfster and I will, and have recommended it to everyone I know.
~ Elizabeth
Whoever came up with this idea is a GENIUS!!! You have taken all the hard work out of Secret Santa!
~ Lissette
Awesome website! It made our “secret santa” at work run extra smooth. It's also a great way to get to know people when you've just started a new job like me. Thanks!!!
~ Jamie
… your site is worth large ... Perfect service is very rare.
~ George
Magnificent website. Can’t tell you how perfectly it’s been set up. Well done.
~ Kate
Love your website! Thanks for making my holidays happier and easier!
~ Herrero
I've already recommended your site to my friends. It took the pressure off of the one family member who was responsible for choosing names and finding out what each person wanted and spreading the information around. Since the people in our gift exchange are scattered all over the country, it was fun to post questions and see everyone's responses. Great site!
~ Laura
I wanted to tell you how much elfster helped us organize a secret santa for our family. We are scattered across the USA and this year the granddaughters were all going to be at my mother's for Christmas, but thinking about how they would all afford, let alone bring presents for 17 people, gave one of them the idea to be secret santas this year instead. elfster helped her pull it off easily and we all had fun reading the questions and comments as they appeared and making guesses about who was who. Thank you for such a brilliant, well thought out and easy to use elfster.
~ Connie
elfster bridged the gaps between continents for me and my friends. Thank you for helping us celebrate Christmas "together" despite the distance!
~ Jim
This is the first time our family has [used elfster]. We are spread out across the mid-US … We don't get together often (enough) and cherish the time we do … Miles between us all prompted my brother-in-law to research writing a program to choose for us leading him to your site that already accomplished about 99% of what we wanted to do. We had the best time trying to figure out who had who, asking questions and talking with each other that lead to us even anticipating our event all the more! We have since gotten the computer savvy brother-in-law to set up a family blog site so we can ALL keep in touch better over the year and look forward to the next time we draw for Secret Santa! Thank you for helping make our family event more exciting!
~ VirtualPearl
This is a fantastic service. It was fun, and easy to "manage" since you do all the reminders, framing the questions for gift recipients, etc. I've thought of 2 other opportunities to use this next year.
~ Portia
The elfster site is incredible … this site enabled our family members to actually get gifts they could really use or really wanted … your site helped everyone feel comfortable participating in a gift exchange. Great job Elfsters!
~ Carmen
It's brill, and such a cute idea. Bless you all.
~ Abigail
We love your website – it is the best – we’ve used elfster for two Christmas's in a row! Thank you!
~ Sabrina
Thanks for the fun you provided. Keep up the good work. Spread good messages ...it'll pay off. World Peace is on almost everyone's wish list. Where does it begin? With people like your family ... and mine. Thank you.
~ MommieLord
Excellent. Your website helped me stay in touch with all my friends over the busy holiday season. We all have our own families now, so it is hard for us to get together like we used to. This was great. We all had a great time trying to figure out our Secret Santa. Keep up the good work.
~ Jana
Thank you. You made our Christmas great.
~ Christopher
Your service was really, really easy to use. Every detail was very well thought out. Everyone had tons of fun using it! Thanks! Happy New Year!
~ Bryan
Thank you for your site! I used it for two Secret Santa gift exchanges this year and it was so much fun.
~ Anna
Great site – keep growing your list of recommended retailers.
~ Lek
Thank you so much for developing this site! My group had great fun with it, and I am recommending it to everyone. I will probably be using it next Christmas for two different groups.
~ Lisa
I think this is one of the best ideas for a holiday website – I have passed it on to LOTS of people who are planning to use it next year! I know I will! Thanks!
~ Marianne
elfster has been heaven-sent since my group of friends have been using it from a couple years back – now it's just amaza-crazy (in a good way).
~ Claire
What's the deal? I love it. I love your site. Awesome. Simply awesome.
