Holiday Gift Planner and Tracker 2.0

I built this for myself and my partner after one too many years of scrambling through the holidays—forgetting what we bought, losing track of wrapping, and blowing the budget. It felt impossible to stay organized, so I created this system to handle it all. After testing it, tweaking it, and relying on it to save our sanity, it’s ready to make your holidays easier too.

Here’s what it does:
- Track Gifts by Recipient and Type: Organize by who it’s for, whether it’s from you, from Santa, or a stocking stuffer. Tag gifts with optional categories like “books” or “gadgets” for quick reference.
- Stay on Top of Progress: Mark gifts as “need to buy,” “ordered,” “delivered,” or “wrapped,” and know exactly where you stand at a glance.
- Manage Your Budget: Track spending with built-in tools and live charts that show what’s been bought and what’s left to purchase—so no surprises later.
- Gift Code Log: Create and note codes to instantly know what’s what when it’s time to hand out presents. No more guessing games.
- Unwrap Tracker: When it’s time to open gifts, track what’s been unwrapped and what’s still under the tree.

This isn’t just another holiday checklist—it’s a system built from experience, designed to actually make life easier during the busiest time of the year.
