This Christmas, someone's shopping for you.

You're usually the one with the list, the wrapping paper and the reminder to post in time. This year, another eldest daughter will be choosing a gift just for you.

Key dates

Write these on the calendar

Everyone posts by the same dates, so every gift has a fair chance of arriving before Christmas.

  1. Now to 14 Nov

    Sign-ups open

    Pick your tier, choose how far your gift travels, and tell your Secret Santa a little about yourself.

  2. 18 Nov

    Matches arrive

    We'll email you the name, bio and address of the eldest daughter you're shopping for.

  3. By 5 Dec

    Post if it's going overseas

    International parcels need a head start, so get yours in the post by 5 December.

  4. By 12 Dec

    Post if it's staying local

    Gifts posted within the same country should be on their way by 12 December.

The four tiers

Choose the spend that feels right

You're matched with someone in the same tier, so what you give is roughly what you get. Postage is on top of the spend.

  • It's the thought that counts

    Little to no spend

    Handmade, home-baked, written from the heart.

  • A little something

    US$15–35

    A small, thoughtful treat she'd never buy for herself.

  • You deserve it

    US$35–65

    A proper spoil, chosen with real care.

  • Because I can, and you're worth it

    US$65+

    For the year you feel like going all out.

Spend guides are in US dollars. Roughly the same in your own currency is perfect.

Close to home

Matched with an eldest daughter in your own country. Cheaper postage, and your gift arrives sooner.

Around the world

Matched with an eldest daughter somewhere else. Send a little piece of where you live, and open a little piece of somewhere new.

Joining

Chip in if you can

  • Everyone gets the same exchange, whether they chip in or not.
  • Chip-ins cover the cost of running the exchange and top up the Angel Gift fund, so nobody is left without a gift.
  • After you sign up, we'll send you a link in case you'd like to chip in. Any amount, or nothing at all.
