Christmas Lottery

This is a backend for a Christmas lottery app we use in my family. Rules it follows:

• each family member buys a gift for someone else every year. If person A gifted B 2 times and C 3 times an algorithm shold prefer B over C.
• each user has a wishlist where they can note what they want and order their wishes from the least to the most important.
• every change on a wishlist triggers an e-mail to assigned santa.
• wishlist might be locked by santa so assigned recipient does not modify it after buying.
• there must an option to forbid certain matches e.g. wife and husband.
