One great gift,together.

PrimeSanta is a group-gifting take on Secret Santa: wishlists for gifts people truly want, one assigned buyer, and optional help from friends when the best gift costs a little more.

No checkout inside PrimeSanta. Venmo reimbursements happen off-site and are self-reported.

The experience we're building

Less mystery shopping. More meaningful giving.

The familiar Secret Santa draw stays simple. What changes is the ambition: the group can rally around gifts that are genuinely wanted.

01
Start with real wishlists
Everyone shares the Amazon gifts they would genuinely be excited to receive—not a pile of last-minute guesses.
02
Draw one person to delight
Each member gets one recipient. The surprise stays central while the group gets a clearer path to a thoughtful gift.
03
Make the better gift possible
The assigned buyer can plan a gift, while eligible friends choose whether to pledge and reimburse them off-site.

Privacy is the product

A surprise should feel exciting—not exposed.

PrimeSanta’s v1 is being designed with recipient secrecy and need-to-know access as core requirements, not visual tricks.

Read the privacy approach

The recipient stays out of the plan

The v1 privacy model is being built so recipients cannot see the gift goal or contributions meant for them.

Addresses stay need-to-know

For shipping exchanges, the design limits address access to the person who provided it and their assigned buyer.

Money stays outside PrimeSanta

PrimeSanta records pledges and self-reported payment status. It never processes, holds, or verifies a transfer.

Clear from the start

A gifting organizer—not a bank or marketplace.

The first version stays intentionally focused. PrimeSanta organizes the exchange; familiar third-party services handle shopping and reimbursements.

Amazon links for v1 wishlists

Buyers complete purchases on Amazon. PrimeSanta may earn an affiliate commission from qualifying purchases at no added cost to the shopper.

Off-site Venmo reimbursement

A pledge is only a record of intent. Contributors send money directly to the buyer and report their status themselves; PrimeSanta cannot verify the transfer.

The thoughtful option

Make the next exchange count.
