Does the job
For the price, I was expecting a slicker interface and look/feel. I would also have like an option to allow/disallow loops of gift recipients. But it does the job.

Description
The easy and fun way to do your name drawings for gift exchanges. Participants may be selected from contacts or entered manually. Participants may be selected to notify by email or text. The text option even works with wifi only devices (iPad or iPod Touch) because it uses the various carriers email to SMS gateways for sending. Notification messages may be customized. The person running the app does not need to see the names drawn.
You may group your participants so that they will not draw a name of someone in the same group. This is often used for spouses. The app also maintains exchange history and will prevent participants from drawing the same name as the previous drawing.
Each participant may be designated as "Gives and receives a gift in shared exchange", "Gives and receives in shared exchange, also may give to receive only participant(s)", "Does not receive gift, may give to receive only participant(s)", or "Does not give gift, receive only. For example, child". The results can be printed to an Airprint printer for each participant without email, or who want a printed copy. History display shows the name drawn and gift given for each person for previous drawings.
There is no advertising. Your data is on your device and backed up when you perform iTunes/iCloud backup. Compatible with PC Gift Exchange files. You may email your *.gx files from PC to yourself and open on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Multiple exchanges may be created and saved. For example, an exchange file can be used for your direct family. A separate file may be used for an exchange for your spouse’s family. Optional gift suggestions may be included in notification emails. The organizer may add any suggestions received and the option will appear to notify the person who has that name.

A bit crashy, rough UI, but works as advertised
Chose this one over others in the App Store because it has key feature of being able to put people into groups who should not buy for each other (e.g. If you have a groups of families getting together for the holidays, whom will have already exchanged presents amongst themselves).
The UI is a bit crude and confusing in places, but the link to the FAQ on the web site helps with that. Being able to customize the message is handy.
It also was a bit crashy when putting people into groups. But it didn't lose the list in progress, so I was able to get past that with a cople of retries.
I only used e-mail notification. So can't comment on the text message method.

Do not buy this app
Waste of money, does not do what it advertises and crashes frequently
