  • Super Helpful

    I’ve been using this app for years now & it’s served as a very helpful organization tool when it comes to Christmas (or other holidays/birthdays). If I get a spontaneous gift idea, I just pop into the app & jot it down so I don’t forget to (price-shop &...) buy later. Also helps with overall budgeting (keeps me from going too far over), & shows me a visual graphic of how much I’ve spent/how much I’ve got left in budget & overall, what % I have already finished vs. What I still have left to purchase (wrap & give). It’s a pretty simple, clean app, but definitely does the job well!

  • I really like this app!

    I love everything about this app. I like that it keeps an accounting of gifts and places and costs for me over the years.
    My only complaint is that the photo I take to show the gift won’t expand and the box is to small to see what I bought, I mean that is why I take the photo so I can see it and remember. Otherwise I think it’s done really well. I bought the pro version and will continue using it. I wish they would fix the photo issue thought.

  • Really helpful

    I used this app during Christmas and it was great! But a couple changes would make it even better. I can move people from one to the next but not gifts. Please change that. I get my kids a few things that are the same every year. (Like lotion). Plus, I put lots of ideas down but didn’t purchase all the ideas. I would love to move those to the next year easily instead of manually. I might buy those gift ideas the next Christmas or another holiday/birthday throughout the year. Also, I’d like to be able to switch years on people. For example, I bought some small appliances for folks and I’d like to switch on their profile to see past gifts so I don’t buy it again.

  • Useful app...

    There could be some improvements made but on the whole the iPad app is useful. If it’s the paid version (if you pay it shares data with your iPhone version, otherwise not) This really needs something more obvious to show that people are complete. It’s very difficult to work out otherwise. Be great if you could mark as complete in a different colour.

  • Best Christmas App ever

    Have used other Christmas gift apps before but this is the best one so far! It covers everything you need to know. Love how you can look at previous years to see what you got people so you don’t get the same again!
  • Organized and not over spending!

    I love this app! This is Christmas #3 using it and it keeps me organized. Now I use it all year long and am able stay within a budget. I would always overspend before. I’ve tried other apps and this is the best! My only suggestions- I’d like the option of a check mark over the image of the people on my list. Between family, friends, and co-workers there are probably 40 people on my Christmas list. When I open the list a red check would help me quickly see who is done and who I still needs a gift. I could clear the checks when shopping is done and then use them again when digging everything out from hiding places and wrapping. My other suggestion would be a place for a gift closet where you can list things you have on hand for gift emergencies. Honestly though, that’s it. This app is pretty perfect!

  • At my fingertips

    A great way to keep track of all the people I need to buy for. Allows me to budget and keep track of those gifts I buy when the moment strikes (like in July). Only wish you could duplicate previous year with people still in their group with their budget still in place. It would be ok to remove the gifts but it's tedious to add people’s budgets again. Would love to see a category for "ordered" (in addition to purchased) for those online orders. Love that I can password protect it to keep prying eyes out 😊. Overall this app has been a great planning, organization tool!!

  • Great App - I use all year - love improvements I’ve the years

    I have used this app for years and really appreciate all that the developers and designers have put into it. If you are someone that shops all year for gifting occasions and the holidays it is a must to keep track of what you have and what stage they are in. Since one can ALWAYS improve, even on something that is very good I would suggest two things: 1). Unless I don’t understand, once you take a photo and it gets stored in that tiny space, you can never expand it again. 2). I create a person using their name and the word open for gifts that haven’t been assigned to a gifting event. I would LOVE to have the ability to move gift ideas or anything not presented to the next year. There is no way to carry over un-gifted items. After all the effort to put them in you have to start over the next year with all ungifted items. Thanks guys!

  • Makes present buying so much easier

    Helps keep control of ideas, money spent, budget, and what has to be posted etc. I add in Postage too, plus Cards and Wrapping as it’s these things that can cost more than you think.
    Ideas: nothing worse than having too many presents for one person that is easy to buy for. This helps to narrow down which presents to buy.
    Budget: be realistic.
    Both my parents birthdays are in Dec, so I add them in as Birthday Mum and Birthday Dad … helps to keep bday and Xmas ideas separate.
    I wish there was a tick box for Competed for each person. At the moment I edit their photo to something like a photo of a thumbs up, so I know that person is sorted. But a Tick ✅ box would be better, for quick visual reference and time taken to edit. Maybe this is on the better version?
    Lastly, I download all the info from the previous year and email it to myself …. Have used this as reference so I don’t give the same gift to the same person again!

  • My Christmas Essential!

    A most useful app for the Christmas budget. Really helpful when gifts are wrapped and you have forgotten what is you wrapped! Also useful to look back on what you gave last year. Would like to see a birthday list added?
