Gift Stash keeps every gift idea, purchase, hiding place and budget in one private app on your iPhone, for any occasion, all year round. Add the people you buy for, with notes and unlimited gift ideas. When an occasion comes up, move a gift through idea, bought, hidden, wrapped and given. Note where you hid it, and find it again later with Stash search across hiding places and titles. Set a budget for each person in an occasion, in any currency, and see your spending against it as you go. Each person's history shows what they were already given, so you don't give the same gift twice. The free experience includes unlimited people and gift ideas, one active occasion with unlimited gifts, per-person budgets, the full idea-to-given status flow, hiding-place tracking, Stash search, given-before history, and archiving past occasions. Gift Stash Plus is a one-time purchase that adds unlimited active occasions, App Lock (Face ID, Touch ID or passcode), and CSV export; the current localized price is shown in the app. Your gifts stay on your device and can use your own private iCloud across your devices. There is no account, no ads, and no developer server that can read your lists. Gift Stash is available in 45 languages.
