Description
The #1 Shopping App in the US – The Christmas List is an easy-to-use app to help you organize your Christmas lists and budget so you can spend less time buying presents for the ones you love and more time being present with the ones you love! _________________________________________ EASY PROGRESS TRACKING Track gifts by to do, purchased, shipping, received, and wrapped. When editing a list you can change the status of multiple gifts at once (for example, when you are wrapping gifts you can change the status of those gifts from purchased to wrapped all at once). EASY BUDGETING Set a budget for a person or don’t – it’s up to you. The Christmas Lists tracks the budget for you. It’s so easy that The Christmas List has been recommended for managing holiday spending by • Good Housekeeping • The Motley Fool • mint.com • BankRate.com • CNBC SHOPPING OVERVIEW Simple, at-a-glance views of shopping progress including budget. ADD GIFTS LIKE JOTTING A NOTE Adding a list of gifts is as simple as typing (or even dictating) a note. Just place each gift name on a new line and The Christmas List transforms your note into a gift list. It’s like Christmas Magic! IMPORT FROM YOUR CONTACTS Get a jumpstart on your lists by importing select recipients from your existing contacts. EASY SHARING Easily share lists using AirDrop, email, iCloud Drive, or Messages. Use AirDrop to quickly share a single recipient or an entire group. SHOPPING LISTS BY STORE Once you select a store for a gift, The Christmas List remembers that store and automatically builds a shopping list for the store to help make sure you get everything you need when you are out and about. MULTIPLE GIFT RECIPIENTS Once you create a gift you can copy it to other recipients on your list without the need to retype the details. POPULAR RETAILERS The Christmas List comes with a list of popular retailers, but if you don’t see the one you are looking for you can easily add your own. You can even use emoji in the store name. ADD PHOTOS Add photos for gifts and people from your photo library, clipboard, or camera. CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN See a countdown to the number of shopping days until Christmas right in the app. PRINTING Print lists directly from the app. NO PEEKING Optional password protection – set up a PIN or use Touch ID to keep out snoops. EDIT MULTIPLE GIFTS AT ONCE Changing the status of several gifts at once has always been possible on the lists by status (accessed via the Progress tab). Now the lists by person and the lists by store can do it too. Also new is the ability to change the store for multiple gifts at once. It’s never been easier to keep track of what’s wrapped, shipped, and left to do. _________________________________________ PEOPLE ARE TALKING… "The Christmas List is solidly better...with more options and an easier interface." – The New York Times "...it’s happy-making" – Yahoo!

User Reviews
I absolutely love this app. I’ve been using it since 2010 and really can’t say enough wonderful things about it. Until now. I got a new phone and for crazy reasons, had to reinstall all my apps from scratch rather than restore from a backup. There is no way to export data from Christmas list on the old phone so that I can import it on the new phone. And Support has not responded to my request. If I get an answer, I’ll let you know.
I have used this app for several years. I love how it keeps me organized and in budget
I love this app so much! I’ve been using it for several years and it allows me to easily keep track of all my purchases, especially as I buy things earlier in the year.
I cannot survive the holidays without this app! I’ve used this app the past 10 Christmases- it keeps me on track and organized and can quickly monitor my purchases, budget, custom buying groups & archives my gift lists too. So intuitive and easy to use. Very UX friendly.
There are a lot of options out there, but this app has been just what I needed. It’s intuitive!It has multiple ways to enter gifts, there are options for purchased, wrapped & to do, and there are ways to see all items from each category per recipient or for all. Gifts can be archived year to year. It’s perfect!
Only way I can keep up with all the family gifts And other gifts I can stick in boxes according to group and pull after looking through my Inventory!
I really do love this app, I have used it for years. I would give it 5 stars except they got rid of the gift counter. I LOVED that feature and used it extensively. I would really like if it was added back.
I love this app at Christmas. I searched thru many apps and couldn't find one as easy to use and complete as this one. Once you set it up the way you want it, for example I can put my husband and kids in a group, stocking stuffers in another then have a list for all my siblings and the kids godparents
This app has been my go-to for 5 years now, but it does not synch across my devices, that I can figure out anyway. That feature would be helpful bc I use my phone when not home and my iPad when I am.
I love this app. I compare it with other and this is so easy to use. Let you archive your gifts, very helpful when you don’t remember what you gave the previous years. The only missing thing is to export your list with prices. I could send the list to my sister of what she own me that I have bought.
