SURPRISE! SUPER FUN AND GREAT IDEA! ALSO LOVE A GOOD SURPRISE!

Very smooth process, reliable process Very smooth process and a fantastic surprise gift!!! I love secret Santas and when I signed up for the friendship day exchange, I was very happy to see there is an option to have a Secret Santa like experience not just in December. I am so lucky to have found this,

Don't bother For some reason they decided to wait until the *end* of December to match people for the Secret Santa event, so there was zero chance of items arriving for Christmas. Here we are halfway into January and items are arriving now. Don't bother trying to use Throne on a phone as their mobile site is *complete* garbage and mostly non-functional.

I participated in the Secret Santa… I participated in the Secret Santa exchange this year (2023) as the Reddit one was discontinued and I truly loved it. And really enjoy online Secret Santa exchanges in general. I was somewhat skeptical as I had never heard of this company but, it was advertised by Linus from LTT and I genuinely trust his recommendations. I had a very nice very smooth experience. Everything happened as expected, and I am looking forward to participating again next year. I did not have any issues, and do believe so far that Throne is a reputable company.

Can be confusing, but elsewise a fun experience. I have so far been a part of 2 exchanges. The Black Friday exchange and the Secret Santa exchange. The first one I was a part of, I will admit, was a little confusing. I was expecting that I could just easily buy a gift that is shown on someone's wishlist, but no, nearly all of them had the "not available in your country" message, which makes it more difficult to purchase a gift for your match as you have less options/don't know what they could like (if they haven't written anything on their profile). Something that the Throne team could perhaps fix for future exchanges. Either allow international shipping, or don't allow the person to add the item on their wishlist to begin with. This next thing happened after buying a gift for my match- I ended up finding a "paste Amazon link" button way at the bottom of the store. Personally, I don't think it is a good place to put that, as a lot of people can miss it quite easily if they don't scroll down. This kind of button feels like it should be at the top next to the "store" tab for easy access. One last, very small complaint in regard to ordering/shipping. The gifts seem to take a long time to get sent out after the item has been ordered. (I had to wait a few days at most until I received tracking information for my first gift, which has arrived by this point. Still have yet to get one for my Secret Santa gift). I do not know why that tends to be the case. Aside from those complaints, after learning how Throne exchange worked, the process became a smoother experience. The first person I was matched with was great, and as for the Secret Santa, I was rematched with someone else after my original match didn't get me a gift. The giftees themselves seem to be very generous people on Throne, which surprised me.
