Which app to track Christmas gifts?

[JerseyMouse]

Which app are you using to track Christmas gifts? I just downloaded "Asking Santa" for free. It seems cool - it even lets the kids send their list to Santa, and receive a personalized response back. (hey, anything to keep the magic alive!) Are there any other "free" apps you are using for Christmas?

I don't use an app, but rather a spreadsheet via Google docs. The first tab is a general info tab, where I allocate one column for each person for whom I buy: their sizes, fave colors/sports teams, hobbies, whatever. Then I create a new tab for each year (so, obviously, this year's tab is titled "2011", and I've kept 2010 and 2009 tabs) where I put gift ideas as they occur to me. Gifts I end up buying I bold. Anything I don't buy, I move to the next year's tab (I'll create the 2012 tab in January). I add in links, cost estimates and more as I type down ideas.

I like that this arrangement is free and can be accessed from my phone. Works for me!

I use one just called 'Gifts'. It has a white present on a blue background. I believe it was .99. I use it a lot. It lets me set an amount I want to spend on everyone & then I can put stuff in once I get it. You can also put a list in & check stuff off as you purchase it. It also gives you a grand total & how much you've spent. Definitely a great .99 purchase.

Mine is called Christmas. It's a pic of Santa holding a list. I don't remember what I paid, but I love it.

It's password protected and I have it broken down into a list for my side, his side, friends, etc. You can write what you want to buy and then put it in "the basket" when you purchase it. It tracks spending. You can even put a picture of the gift and a picture of the person. I don't go that far, but it is very useful. This is my 2nd year using it and I love it!!!

I use a password-protected spreadsheet on my computer and put my shopping/purchased list on my phone as pdfs with filenames only I recognize.

I'll have to check out the app list - thanks.

LOL I practically could have written this!! I have this as an excel spreadsheet and can't access it from my phone (which is a dumb phone anyways)... but otherwise we do the same thing!
