Brilliant app. For budgeting & storing gift ideas.
I’m a busy mum trying to get a grip on our finances & I’m responsible for suggesting/sourcing/purchasing all presents (birthdays & Christmas) throughout the year. This app is EXACTLY what I need. An easy-to-use interface (& no junky extras that I won’t use!). It is massively reducing my mental load.
I have logged every ‘recipient’ we gift to throughout the year. Then created an ‘event’ for every persons birthday, with its budget. Christmas 2026 & all kids parties are also budgeted ‘events.’ Now we can see what we are expecting to spend this year & a clear visual if I am staying within budget.
When an idea for anyone arises, it’s recorded under their name as an ‘idea’ to research/add website links/add cost to later. (No more endless phone notes).
If i later mark it as ‘purchased’ it’s taken off that events’ budget - so i can clearly see what i have bought & how much left i have to spend. PLUS- I’ll have a record of what I’ve bought for everyone so I don’t buy it again next year, and all ideas are to hand if anyone asks (eg. Grandparents). Thank you for this extremely helpful app! I am recommending it to others.

Great app, really helpful and Craig is super responsive and quick. Worth the yearly cost.
Great
Such a great app.
Almost perfect
Great app for presents etc. I just wish they had a life time purchase instead of monthly/annually
Response from developer
Thanks for the review and for the feedback! I’m glad you’re enjoying GiftList. A lifetime purchase is something I’m considering for the future, so it’s really useful to know that’s an option you’d be interested in.
Brilliant App
Have been using this a while, it’s an amazing app and so helpful to keep track of gifts and money spent.
