Helping you and your friends gift give (more optimally) !!
Say goodbye to awkward gift exchanges. Use smart algorithms to match givers with receivers based on preferences, interests, and compatibility.
What is Pareto Presents??
Pareto Presents is a smart gift exchange platform that uses algorithms to create optimal matches between gift givers and receivers.
Named after the Pareto efficiency principle, our system helps groups achieve better outcomes where no one can be made happier without making someone else less happy.
Multiple Algorithms
Choose from Random Matching, Max Utility (best overall matches), Max Fairness (most equal happiness), or White Elephant simulation.
Preference Based
Users input giving and receiving preferences on practicality, novelty, and sentimentality, plus interests and exclusions.
Admin Dashboard
Group creators can calculate statistics, compare algorithms, and finalize the perfect matching for their group.
Privacy First
Results are only revealed after finalization, and users only see their own match to preserve the surprise!
How It Works
Create or Join a Group
Start by creating a new gift exchange group or join an existing one with a group code. Perfect for families, friends, or coworkers!
Fill Out Preferences
Tell us your giving style and receiving preferences on a 1-5 scale. Add interests and specify anyone you shouldn't be matched with.
Admin Runs Algorithm
The group creator calculates statistics for all algorithms, compares performance, and chooses the best one for the group.
Get Your Match!
Once finalized, everyone receives their match! For Secret Santa, you'll see who you're giving to. For White Elephant, you'll see your position in the play order.
