The free GiftList app for iOS and Android makes creating lists easy for yourself and others. Let your friends and family know what you want for the holidays, even if they don’t have the app. If they use GiftList, check their lists to know what they want before you start shopping.
Search online and add gifts to your lists. You have to input the information manually unless you have the Chrome or Firefox extension that automates the process—track purchases on the lists to see what you’ve already bought and still need to buy.

Use the free Santa’s Bag app for iPhone or iPad to set up gift lists for each member of your family. The lists are private with a passcode, so there’s no chance your kids will find out what they’re getting.
One thing I love about this Christmas gift list app is its ability to track the current status of each gift. You can mark a gift as an idea or say that you’ve already ordered it. If it isn’t yet wrapped, there’s a button for that so that you know exactly what’s left to do before Christmas. Finally, you can mark gifts as ‘given’ after the big reveal.
Add links, photos, and notes for each gift to simplify your planning, and don’t overlook the budgeting features in the app to keep your holiday spending in line. Print checkable lists when it’s time to shop, and you won’t miss a beat. Save time and money, and best of all, find the perfect gifts.
