2024 Update!This is still my go-to app for keeping track of gifts year round. I just pull out my app when my loved ones mention something they might like or need, and add it to their list. Come birthday or gift giving holidays, I have ideas for gift giving. ♥️Newest update, 2016 I have been using this app for a few years now. I absolutely love this app! It keeps my annual Holiday shopping so organized! It'll have to do for this year, but I'll probably be looking for a new app for next Christmas. At first I loved it and it seemed to do everything I needed. But as I started adding new purchased gifts it doesn't seem to be adding the totals up to show me how much money I have spent on each person. If this was fixed I would love the happen keep it. But, I won't be updating until after the holiday. I don't want to take a chance of losing all the data I have put in there for this year. UPDATE!!! I've been using this application again this year, and I am loving it! Some of things I love, it will add tax for me, and there are many different ways that I can look at the information. I can look by recipient or by store, it'll also create a shopping list. I can look at a list of gifts that I have ordered and I'm waiting for them to arrive. I can also tell it where I hid gifts in my house so I don't forget where I put them! Bottom line, it's a great application to help me keep track of all of my holiday gift shopping!
The gift list app with everything, plus more!

I love, love, love this app. The developers really thought of a gift-list app from every angle, and have included every feature conceivable for organizing gifts and budgets. It allows you to sort by gifts, recipients, or create a shopping list sorted by store, all while tracking how much you've spent and planned to spend. It will even track orders you've made but have not been delivered yet, which is terrific for the busy gift-buying season. No more poring over e-mails to remember exactly what has been ordered! I use this app all year to track ideas, sizes, and preferences for each person, so holiday shopping is super easy! Just convert an “Idea” to “Plan to Buy” with a couple taps, and it goes to the shopping list for that store. I can even track where I hid everything, and keep a list of gifts I’ve purchased, but have not assigned to a recipient yet. Just wow from every angle. The app is fully-functioning in its free version, so check it out and try it for a season with no risk. Then when you love it, pay the quite-reasonable $3 fee for archiving gifts and backing up the whole shebang to Dropbox.Note to Developer: I would pay another fee to add a whole separate section for birthday ideas and gifts, especially if you could import recipients with their ideas and preferences, and toggle the archived gifts (including from Santa’s Bag) on or off. Also on my wish list… a separate to-do app that is this robust and organized, with a reasonable price tag. :)
Best App

I’ve been using this app for the past five years and I’ve discovered more things about it each year that helped me stay in budget and have less stress during the holidays. there are so many things about this app that I like. The fact that you can set a budget according to the amount you spend per person or the overall budget amount, the fact that I can go back and look at everyone’s gifts I’ve given in the past five years is a godsend. I like that there are different stages of gifting from ideas to all the way to giving and everything in between. I like that you can put links in there to go back to it and all the information regarding how much it is including Tax whether you’ve hidden it or not where you’ve hidden it it’s just a great app I use it all year long for the ideas that I see during the year and I also added in birthdays. Then I know what I’ve given people every year for a birthday gift and it helps me stand budget all year long. This is one of the best apps I’ve ever found and I tell everyone to use it. Great job keep up the good work.
Don’t Do 🎅🏼🎄 Without This App

I’m an app junkie. Always looking for apps to do that, that or the other. Always tried to budget & track Christmas shopping before iPhones & apps and inevitably I’d fail. This is THE best app to help you organize your shopping & spending. So simple to use too. You start by adding recipients, add a gift for that person and then categorize the gift as an Idea, Purchased, Wrapped, Given. Even track if item is ordered. You can half use the app to just track purchases, but where I’ve found this helpful is using the gift categories. We’ve all done it..... forgetting to give someone a gift. This app has reminded me of something I forgot I bought. If you hide gifts, there’s even a spot to put the Location of the gift.You can also add details about the gift. Where purchased, price, even a photo of it. Amazing app!!As I’m writing this, there’s a feature I’d love (and to be honest, it may already do it), but I haven’t tried. I would love to see ability to sync the app with my wife. (We have a grocery list app that does that).This app is be far one of my favorite apps that makes my life easier!
