Application: "Tinder for exchanging gifts" for all gift-giving holidays

App code name: "Twelve Days"<br><br>Core idea: a way to exchange gifts with people anonymously (you can spend up to $5 a pop). These are gifts from "someone", but the only info the recipient would have is your age and a fake name and a Christmas list.<br><br>The core principle is to give a gift to someone who would enjoy something you found (with their Christmas list) to someone who'd enjoy it, but not know who the gift came from (just as the person doesn't know who sent it to them). So there is a secret santa type of thing in this app.<br><br>The only way to communicate would be via "note" - you can only send a single note with a gift. The note would also not be available to the sender to know if the recipient has opened it up yet, until it is actually openened (I suspect this would be fun).<br><br>How it would work:<br><br>With every purchase, you can choose a specific person to receive a gift from. You can choose to see only people who have reciprocated a gift for you to make it an ongoing exchange.<br><br>You can also choose to send a gift to somebody randomly (the app can decide for you).<br><br>When you send a gift, you must choose how much money you want to put into it.<br><br>The sender of the gift must also set up a gift list of their own.<br><br>There would be specific lists to choose from: "Christmas", "Birthday", "Valentine's Day", etc.<br><br>The app would be most useful for events like Secret Santa, birthdays, and Christmas.<br><br>The app should work in a way that there are always options to send a gift to someone (based on their specific gift list for the holiday). In that sense, you could use it to celebrate all holidays.<br><br>The app must collect a 20% fee for every gift purchase.<br><br>Gift options should include things like:<br><br>* Money to receive a gift card<br>* A specific product<br>* An experience<br>* Subscription service<br><br>Subscriptions could include:<br><br>* Getting one surprise gift a month<br>* Getting two surprise gifts a month<br>* Getting three surprise gifts a month<br><br>Rather than a monthly gift subscription, there could just be a membership that guarantees at least one received gift per week/month/weekandahalf/etc.<br><br>Any ideas on how to implement this and how it should work exactly?
