Fluevoger Gift Exchange

Swap gifts with shoe-loving strangers

Do you dream of a world where strangers blindly spread joy for the simple pursuit of putting smiles on the faces of others? Are you a kind-hearted Fluevoger who takes pride in being part of a community of unique souls?

Then sign up for this ambitious and unpredictable adventure and you'll be part of the greatest (or at least the weirdest) global gift exchange the earth has ever seen! You'll be assigned a random Fluevoger to send a gift to, and you'll receive a gift from another fellow participant.

We recommend spending no more than the suggested gift value of $20 (USD). To minimize shipping costs, you'll be assigned to a Fluevoger in your country of residence.

This year’s gift exchange signup deadline has passed! Sign up below to be notified when the next one is open for participation.

FAQs

I never received my fellow Fluevoger's information. Where can I find it?

The information about your buddy will be available to you in your account. Once you log in, navigate to the Gift Exchange section and you should find everything you need there.
How can I contact my assigned Fluevoger (the one I am sending a gift to)?

Once you log in and navigate to Gift Exchange, you'll have the option to message your assigned Fluevoger with any questions about their preferences or address. This is a two-way message system, but the receiver won't know your personal information unless you choose to share it.
I made a mistake on my questionnaire and/or shipping address. Can I fix it?

You can update your questionnaire and shipping address from within your account under the Gift Exchange section at any time before matching occurs.
How do I mark my gift as sent?

Log in and navigate to Gift Exchange, then click "I've shipped my gift." Enter the tracking information, or "N/A" if you don't have a tracking number. Your buddy will then receive an email letting them know their gift is on the way.
I received my gift and would like to send a thank-you note. How do I do that?

Log in to your account and mark your gift as received in your Gift Exchange section. Once you've done that, you'll see an option to send a thank-you note to your gifter.
What happens if I don't receive a gift?

Unfortunately this is a real possibility we can't fully avoid. We have a lot of faith in Fluevogers and send regular reminders to all participants, but we can't guarantee everyone follows the rules. If you don't receive a gift, we'll be sad together — then we'll cheer ourselves up somehow.
What happens if I don't send a gift?

Please don't do this. Thousands of Fluevogers sign up to anonymously swap gifts and 99% follow through. It's a major bummer when one person receives nothing — don't let this happen to your assigned buddy!
