My girlfriend needed a Secret Santa web app, so I built her one

In plain words

Memo From Santa is a web app for organizing Secret Santa gift exchanges. Users can set up groups, specify spending limits, and the system randomly assigns participants to each other while keeping selections secret. It was created to solve a specific need for coordinating gift exchanges among friends or family members. The app handles the logistics of matching gift-givers with recipients and maintains anonymity throughout the process.
