Looks great!!
Was just about to set up a Secret Santa on Elfster... was wondering how your site stacks up in terms of facilitating a gift exchange between friends/coworkers?

We send out an e-mail to everyone on the list saying that Santa is busy and asking them to buy a present for person x. The rest is up to them. Not as advanced I guess :)
It's not quite perfect and seems to barely hold itself together (am I signed in, do I have account or do I not?!, etc..), but my friends and I have gotten by. I was able to invite people, remind them to join before the deadline and set exclusions on matchups (I didn't want significant others to get each other as well as people who aren't good friends). People have wishlists, like you mentioned. It's served us well enough for a one time thing, I'm not really sure what else I would need or want.
I guess one could extend the concept and become a broker for the gigantic anonymous gift exchanges? Like the Reddit Secret Santa, except people order from you or send you the packages? I know of people who never got their present even though they had sent a present.
