Hi! I'm the Elf. Tell me who you'd like to help, and I'll find a real gift, or the cause where cash does the most good.

A Christmas gift for a 5-year-old girl, around $20

Something warm for a 9-year-old, under $40

I only have $5. How can I help?

How it works

Giving you can actually follow

Ask the Elf

Describe who you want to help. The Elf suggests a real gift with a live price, or cash where it does more good.

PayPal holds it

PayPal holds the exact price of the item you chose. You're charged only when the charity buys it, and the hold is released after 72 hours if it doesn't.

Charity buys & shows proof

Buying charges your hold, so the charity never pays out of pocket. It uploads the receipt and the Elf checks it against your item and price.

Delivered

You follow every step from Paid to Bought to Delivered, then get a thank-you note.

A real workflow. A sandbox demo.

PayPal uses test funds only; no real money moves. Cash is charged at checkout. For gifts, PayPal only holds your payment: you're charged when the charity buys your gift, and the hold is released automatically if it doesn't within 72 hours.

What you can try

Ask the AI Elf for gift ideas, browse products from real stores, and approve a sandbox payment hold. Switch to the charity view and click Buy to charge the hold, then upload a receipt. Delivery requires accepted proof, then a thank-you is generated. AI checks can be reviewed by an admin.

What is simulated

Merchant purchases, charity payouts, and physical delivery are simulated. Charity verification badges are illustrative. The role switcher is a demo control, not a login. Charts include seeded demo records and sandbox donations, not real fundraising totals.
