Don’t Do 🎅🏼🎄 Without This App. I’m an app junkie. Always looking for apps to do that, that or the other. Always tried to budget & track Christmas shopping before iPhones & apps and inevitably I’d fail. This is THE best app to help you organize your shopping & spending. So simple to use too. You start by adding recipients, add a gift for that person and then categorize the gift as an Idea, Purchased, Wrapped, Given. Even track if item is ordered. You can half use the app to just track purchases, but where I’ve found this helpful is using the gift categories. We’ve all done it..... forgetting to give someone a gift. This app has reminded me of something I forgot I bought. If you hide gifts, there’s even a spot to put the Location of the gift. You can also add details about the gift. Where purchased, price, even a photo of it. Amazing app!! As I’m writing this, there’s a feature I’d love (and to be honest, it may already do it), but I haven’t tried. I would love to see ability to sync the app with my wife. (We have a grocery list app that does that). This app is be far one of my favorite apps that makes my life easier!

Gets better every year!. I don’t write a lot of reviews but I have to say thanks for this app! It really helps keeping track of everything this time of year. And every year I find something new that has been added to make it even easier to use. I bought this after accidentally giving my nephew the same puzzle 2 years in a row. In my defense, it was a really cool puzzle & not his only gift, but still not something I wanted to repeat. With this app that definitely won’t happen again. So thanks for a very useful, well designed app. Worth every penny I paid for it!

Truly the best Holiday gift app, unfortunately now unsupported. I have used Santa’sBag for 4 years now. I’m using it again this year, even though it’s now unsupported. That’s how good it is. No other app compares. Using this app is very fluid. There are many ways to view your gifts. This app even supports Stocking Stuffers! Unfortunately, the app hasn’t been updated in over 3 years. The developers seem to have moved on. I’ve tried numerous ways of reaching them. It’s not a big deal. The only feature that doesn’t work is the backup to Dropbox. You can still archive gifts, but all data remains on your phone. If you upgrade your phone, and have to start from scratch (another story), all your data is gone. There’s no cloud data option. I would pay an annual subscription for this app. It’s that valuable to me. I’m pleading with the developer... Please consider supporting this app again!

Where are updates?. Disappointed after paying $5.99 for pro that the last update was 3 years ago. I’ve used the app for all 3 of those years and it was my favorite app for planning and budgeting the holidays. After trying out a dozen other apps (at the time) only a couple came close to the features offered here, despite the sometimes confusing or clunky interface (surprisingly relevant as it’s an app used mostly once a year). In any case, I think it’s time to find an alternative to this app, especially with newer iOS updates eliminating availability of apps not updated to support it.

A wonderful app!. I have just started using this app and it is great! When I am shopping it is so helpful to see what I need from each store. It's just got so many great uses... Hard to describe them all! I definitely will purchase the pro version! I hope they will update the app to allow you to print out your whole final list of each person and what you bought them..... Also would love a "received gift" option(and you could enter what you received from someone)..... And this would be on the printout, as well! This would make the app PERFECT!!!! It's already wonderful!!

Best App I Have!. I got this to organize for Christmas 2015. It made shopping and organizing so easy. Everything is cross referenced and you can add gifts that are still unassigned. You can easily change who gets what at any point, and it keeps you on track with your budgeting. It's SO fantastic that I am already adding things to my app for this upcoming Christmas that I want to buy for people. I recommend this application for anyone who is tired of writing and rewriting your lists or trying to remember what it was your sister mentioned wanting back in May...just get the app. You won't regret it.

Perfect Xmas Shopping/Tracker App!!!. A friend recommended this app and so far it has been EXACTLY what I've been looking for since I've had a smart phone. I've used plenty of "lists" apps in the past but I honestly had no idea a Christmas list app like this existed. For someone who is always scatterbrained like me, this app is perfect for keeping track of who I need to buy for and what I need to buy. You can also mark the status of each gift idea you entered so you can quickly see what you need to purchase and what you have purchased already. This app also includes the ability to share your lists via email with others if needed. You can add pictures of the gift idea, the store to buy it, price, and there's even a section for notes which I use to paste links to the item online. I can't say enough great things about this app not to mention the fact that it's free. I couldn't think of one suggestion to make this app better because it already has everything I need in it.

Must have. ADORE this app. Has kept me on track for several years. Love that I can record ideas all year long (and where I saw unique items) and then easily track them through every stage from purchase to given. Helps me stay on budget and easily see who on my list I still need to purchase for. Can head to a store or website and see all the gifts I need to secure while there. No more forgotten items and missed deals. If you bear the responsibility of most of the Christmas shopping in your household, you NEED this app.

*was* Almost perfect!. *edited to change from 4 stars to 1* This was a great app, used for several years. Got a new phone this year, and even though this was backed up to iCloud, all of my previous years’ data is gone, no response from support. Disappointed to be sure. ……… I had to replace my old gift app since it wasn’t supported anymore, and after testing several this was the clear winner! Very easy to use, well organized, hits all of the things I like to track. A few minor tweaks and this would be a full 5 stars! One is just a wee cosmetic change...more visual contrast between groups on the recipient page ;)...the pale gray on the group title background is too close to all of that white. Also, rather than just ‘in progress’ and ‘complete’, would love if a person could be taken to a ‘to be wrapped’ and ‘to ship’ status...I’ve worked around that for now by setting up groups (shop, wrap, ship), but would love to be able to click it off easily like the ‘complete’. And last request lol...within the recipient, a ‘santa’ section, to differentiate the gifts coming from Santa for the kiddos ;). Thanks for the great app!!

So Helpful!. I have rarely been able to stay on budget due to all of the various details that fall outside of the basic list. This app provides area to add in orders online which you can change status on with a tap, stocking stuffers, recipient information that can be imported so ALL of your addresses are right there for when you ship or are ready to send cards. There's so much more that I like about this, but what I like most, is that I'm not as tempted to get "just one more thing" for people! Helps me to reign in the commercial aspect of Christmas and save time for my loved ones!

SO Helpful!. I have used this app for two Christmases and it has been a game changer for me! I shop all year long and can "lose" gifts in my own house. Not anymore! I'm able to save gifts to certain people or the gift can remain unassigned. Since I clearance shop, I can also see what I have in my gift closet while I'm out and about so I don't end up with multiples of the same things. It also helps me stay in budget as you can set a budget for each recipient. Also, it helps to be able to type in a gift idea for someone when they mention it to you. Please, please make a more generic version of this app where the holiday can be assigned for other gift giving occasions-birthdays/Easter/Valentine's Day. I would be very grateful!! No other gift tracker that I have tried measures up!

UPDATED! Love it!!. Newest update, 2016 I have been using this app for a few years now. I absolutely love this app! It keeps my annual Holiday shopping so organized! It'll have to do for this year, but I'll probably be looking for a new app for next Christmas. At first I loved it and it seemed to do everything I needed. But as I started adding new purchased gifts it doesn't seem to be adding the totals up to show me how much money I have spent on each person. If this was fixed I would love the happen keep it. But, I won't be updating until after the holiday. I don't want to take a chance of losing all the data I have put in there for this year. UPDATE!!! I've been using this application again this year, and I am loving it! Some of things I love, it will add tax for me, and there are many different ways that I can look at the information. I can look by recipient or by store, it'll also create a shopping list. I can look at a list of gifts that I have ordered and I'm waiting for them to arrive. I can also tell it where I hid gifts in my house so I don't forget where I put them! Bottom line, it's a great application to help me keep track of all of my holiday gift shopping!

If only I could share the app with family.... Unless I have done something wrong, I can’t share usage of this app with my husband. It would be a 5+ app if you could share recipients across user profiles, then my husband and I could manage purchases simultaneously and notify through the app when something was bought. It would also be amazing if when you shared usage, you could limit it to sharing specific recipients so he and I could have private recipients so we could manage purchases for each other without the other seeing. Great app but it really needs the sharing capability to meet my Christmas purchasing needs!

Best app ever!. I can't express enough how wonderful this app is on keeping your Christmas shopping organized. I shop throughout the year for Christmas and I'm able to add items, price and recipient for every item. The app tracks your budget. I used to keep everything on paper but this is so much better and organized. You are able to put when a item was ordered, mark when you received it. That feature is so nice because I am always ordering a ton of stuff the month of Nov and Dec. You can also mark your items 'wrapped' after you have wrapped them - love that feature as well! The app is pw protected so I don't have to worry about my kids seeing my list like I did when I used to track gifts on paper. The app also archives your gifts so you can look at past years shopping and spending. Love, love, love this app!

I love this app. This was so great and made it easy for me to stay organized about Xmas shopping Update: Second year of using this app and it has become a lifestyle! I use it to organize all my gift giving, not just Christmas. It helps me make quick note of gift ideas I get on the fly and then come back to them when I need to buy a gift, so I don't get stuck not being able to come up with gift ideas when I need them. It also gives me a more realistic look at my budget to plan ahead with spending and avoid going too overboard or neglecting someone. It also helps me remember what I bought and on multiple occasions has reminded me of a gift I would have forgotten to give. This year I got all my friends and family using it and it was worth it to pay for the advanced version in order to archive my gifts. The one thing I would change or add would be including a way to create and share my own wishlist the way I make lists for others. It makes reference to "wishes" in the app and I cannot figure out what those are or how to access them, so maybe my wishlist is a feature that exists that I just don't know how to use. I am really not the type of person who gets this attached to an app but I'm not being hyperbolic to claim that this app has changed my life by helping me be a more thoughtful and attentive gift giver--it makes giving gifts fun and last night I had trouble falling asleep on xmas eve in anticipation of the gifts I was giving, NOT the ones I was receiving!

Great, but missing an obvious feature. I love this app. It has done a great job keeping me organized and within budget for Christmas. However. I wish that it had a log in so that more than one person could see what you have purchased and add to the list of things. My mother and I use this app for my kids and it is time consuming having to send her a shared spread sheet, her update her list, then she sends me a spreadsheet to update my list. If we could both log in on the app to the same list and only one person has to enter something and it updates on the other persons site, that would be awesome and I would immediately give 5 stars.

Best App Ever. I am LOVING this app! It does everything I need for keeping track of all my Christmas purchases plus it is password protected. Keeping a list on paper has always been a pain and I didn't have time to add exact costs of things. I can do everything quickly and easily! I wish every app was this simple and useful. It even has the option to add the sales tax if needed with just two clicks. I also love checking off a recipient when I have completed them. A spreadsheet has nothing on this app!

The Ultimate Christmas Shopping App. I am a Christmas shopping fanatic and I can't get enough of this app! It has just about every feature you could imagine and allows you to organize gifts by recipient or the store you purchase them in, making it easy to check off your list in each individual store or location. It gives you the option of adding pictures for gifts and for each individual recipient, so the visual types like me will love it. You can also check off gifts as purchased, ordered, wrapped, or given. It even has the option of marking an item as a stocking stuffer . It also gives you the option of adding detailed preferences for your recipients, such as clothing sizes, likes and dislikes, etc.... It even has a start up screen with a countdown to Christmas and budget overview. Plus, every item price you input can have a custom tax amount added on automatically. I am totally hooked on this app!

Can’t have Christmas without this app. I’ve been using this app for a few years now. It’s easy to use and it helps me remember what I have given as gifts for previous year and to who, set a budget, plan for what I want to buy and where I want to buy it. Very helpful organizing my shopping lists because of all the filtering and sorting features. Love this app. I know it’s specific to Christmas but because of its efficiency I just wish it also offered birthday gift tracking. Playing with my options on app to see if I can do something….. hmmmm….

Excellent app!. I have used this app now for 3 seasons and it is absolutely the best thing I could have imagined for this highly-organized person! It allows you to list every item, every potential item, price, and picture, and then categorize it. I am able to track if I've purchased the item, ordered it, received it, wrapped it, hid it (and the location where I hid it, lol- so necessary!) and once the season is over, you can archive your purchases. Also, there are the yearly purchases that stay the same such as calendars, etc. I just reset my items to "need to be purchased" and start shopping from there. I love, love, love this app and can't say enough good things about it. Download it now! You won't regret it!

Great app for the holidays!. I downloaded 3 apps to keep track of Christmas shopping and budgets. I deleted one almost immediately because it didn’t have enough features for me. Another one is great at keeping a lot of info all in one place, but it’s cumbersome, tedious to set up, and not intuitive at all. This app is just right! Pros: It’s intuitive, easy to navigate, can store a lot of information, and was simple to set up. The color scheme is bright and cheerful, and works on a subconscious level to keep me motivated, and make me happy. Love being able to switch items between Wish List and Gift Ideas. Easy to track what you’ve done and still need to do. Easy to add the same gift for multiple people. Two cons: 1- it’s a personal peeve really, but when you tying an item name, it capitalizes the first letter of every word. Drives me crazy. 2- no option for making or crafting gifts. My husband and I like to make personalized gifts. But when adding a gift, the only options are Idea and To Buy. I’d love to see an option To Craft, To Build, or To Make!! That would probably bump it to a 5-star for me! Info amendment- I’m only using the free version of the app right now, but I am tempted to upgrade for the archiving feature. I will update if I do.

This is the solution to Christmas madness. I used a different app for 3 years. I looked for a new one because the old one didn't support the new OS upgrade. This app blows it away. Download it. It's organization and staying on budget made so so easy. My only suggestions would be an option to add multiple photos so you could upload a photo of the gift once wrapped, so you're not scratching you're head wondering which gift is in which box. Also, would mark a "to be returned" toggle button, similar to "ordered online" and ability to update status of the return. Maybe also a place to snap/store a photo of the gift receipt in case you or the recipient needs to return something, it's as easy as an email or text and no crazy 68 return slips and receipts to keep track of. Thanks for the great app!

Best App EVER. This app allows you to budget, track your spending overall, track your spending per person, list items as want to buy, bought & where for how much, ordered, wrapped, & given. I try to buy ahead what I can and always end up with disproportionate gifts that I spend a chunk trying to even out at the last minute or, I end up forgetting a gift until after Christmas. This fixed EVERYTHING. It is one of my absolute favorite apps on my phone!!!❤️❤️❤️ Now, I need an app just like this to track birthday gifts.😃

Am Obsessed With This App!. I love entering all my info into this app...in fact, I'm obsessive about it! Really helps me track my spending as well as what I've bought, or need to buy, for everyone on my list. It easily does everything I think a Christmas List app should? I would make one suggestion: under "Gift Status," I'd like to see the category, "Need to Return." Sometimes I buy a gift for someone and need to return it and get something else. That category would remind me. I got around it by creating a "Need To Return" group, but it would just be easier to place a check mark under the Gift Status.

An absolute must for multiple kids!. Gone are my days of trying to find my notebook filled with lists of scribbled notes. My ideas for gifts for my kids and other loved ones, the stores, my descriptions, comparison prices all carefully scrawled page after page just waiting for one of my kids to find! This app makes it so easy to keep track of everything even knowing if I have already wrapped one of duplicate items when I check it off! No more digging under the tree to see who was missed or someone getting two on accident. Love this app!

Good app, wish it synched between devices. I found this app this year, I had used another app last year, and this one is MUCH superior to the last one I tried. I liked that I could make a list for each person and could track where I bought it and how much each item was and the app kept a per-person running total for me... I also liked that as I wrapped each gift I could mark it as wrapped making it easier to track what I had left to do. I just wish it could synch between my iPhone and iPad. I like to work with the larger screen on the iPad, but I like to put in items as I buy them on my iPhone which is easier to carry.

Surprisingly good!. Second Christmas using this app. Haven't found anything wrong with it yet! If I were to suggest any improvements, I'd say make it shareable (with customization, so you can share everything with your spouse or parent, except their gift list). But maybe that's a feature of the paid version. Also, I'd like the option to clear the whole gift list at the end of the season without going through each recipient individually and deleting every gift one by one. But really, these are VERY MINOR complaints. I really like this app and get a ton of use out of it!

Christmas wouldn’t happen without this app.. I love the holidays and I love to plan. It DOES NOT HAPPEN without this app. I put ideas in here year round as I think of things or hear someone say “I could really use a ___”. It tracks my budget for me. And I can roll over my recipients and gifts from last year to know how much I spent and what I bought so I’m not duplicating. I have used this for years and I truly swear by it. I started out w the free version and then paid to upgrade and store everything year after year. It’s so worth it.

BEST holiday shopping app ever!. This app is awesome! The design is very well done; very clean, simple and beautifully done. Easy to read and use. And the cutest detail is the ability to change the skin tone of your Santa! I'm so happy I've finally found the best holiday gift tracking app! My only suggestions: 1) the ability to share the list with another household member who has the app and then you'd need 2) the ability to make an individual's details private so that if you have a list for the person you're sharing with, they can't see it.

Amazing!. I'm not going to go into a bunch of detail explaining everything this app does. I see a lot of people have already done it! I will say that this app is amazing for making Christmas shopping more organized & all around easier. I am going to use it all year by adding birthdays with the recipients sorted that way. I was on a super tight budget this Christmas and this really helped me to visualize what I needed and for which person. My son said this was the best Christmas ever (he never says that) and I think that adding in his hints throughout the months into the gift ideas helped me get more of what he really wanted. That's all I'm going to say because I wanted to keep this short. Get this app and try it out...you won't regret it!!!

Wow! Where have you been all my life?. I recently found this app...just days before Christmas. I'm so glad I did but wish I had found it sooner. This app is perfect if you want/need to keep track of gifts for different people, stay organized, keep track of your budget, and share with family or friends. There are so many different possibilities of viewing once you have entered the information. The choice is yours. It didn't take long for me to update to access what I've already bought, realize I bought two of one gift, and see where I stand with a budget. Next year when I use this, I will be able to plan better. I'm still learning what all it can do. It may do this already, but a cool feature would be for my kids to create/update their list on their phone, share with me, and then not be able to see when I make updates to what they want. No matter what and even as is, I just love this app! Please keep it active after the holidays, because I plan to use it for birthdays, too!

Sooo Helpful!!!. I'm rarely inspired to write app reviews. This app has already received promotion on my Facebook page, and now here I am making it official. Particularly, people with children interested in staying within a budget and practicing a little bit of self discipline around gift buying will greatly appreciate this app. It's organized beautifully and is wonderfully intuitive. My only complaint is that it is not available for my other Apple devices (computer, iPad). It would be ideal to have my Santa's Bag account synch up between my regularly used devices.

So far, so good. So far, this app is answering my needs for Christmas shopping! You are able to sort views in all ways a power shopper needs- ability to sort the major categories ( Recipients, Gifts, Store) in multiple ways. If you buy multiple gifts without anyone in mind, you can list it easily. If you have gift recipients to buy for with just Ideas,you can do that. After a few weeks of shopping and planning, I'm able to put it together here One item to update would be the Recipient Overview sort by Group. The Group heading is too close to the previous recipients entry. Then too much white space before the first entry on the new Group. Thanks for a cool app- will update more as its used.

Invaluable tool!. We have lots of nieces, nephews, and godchildren to buy for as well as three children of our own. In the past I often over bought simply because I didn't remember what I'd all ready bought. This app changed that. I pull my phone out often while at stores to check if I still need a gift for so and so. Keeping track of the monetary amount has been fantastic as well. This is my third or fourth year using this app and it's made holiday shopping a breeze. I've recommended it to countless people!

Great App Used Since 2014. I have used this app since 2014 to keep track of Christmas gifts! You can start with ideas, move to ordered, ready to wrap on to marking given. Best for me is keeping track of budget and the number of gifts per person which is important when you have grandsons who count how many gifts each sibling got! 😊 You can even note where gifts are ‘hidden’ which is important the older I get. I even keep track of gifts to dog groomer, hair dresser and friends. Best part is you can look back on what you gifted someone in previous years or regifted LOL. Love this app! That’s saying something for 9 years running!

Fastest Lock in the west!!. Used this all this last season and I was just updating a couple things and thought I'd leave a review. I downloaded this along with several similar apps. This was the one I didn't delete. Ease of use won out PLUS this bugger locks SO fast there is no way little prying eyes can even get a peek at the screen should I accidentally leave the app open. Also a tip: I added "Next Year" as a "Gift "Recipient" and am keeping random thoughts and lists in there for next year - like how many christmas lights we need etc. High five to the developer!

15 stars! (Update...no longer 15 stars😏). I wish I could give this app 15 stars! I love to make lists. This app is something I could've only dreamed of. Every time I think of a feature I wish it had, I poke around...and find it!!! This. Is. GREAT!!! UPDATE: Ok, so I think I came across a much needed feature that I’m not finding. I had taken the dive and purchased this app. As you can read in my original review, I really do love and appreciate what this app offers. But I recently purchased a tablet...an iPad, specifically so it could easily sync with my iPhone. I can't believe it! Such a multi-featured, extremely detailed app, but doesn't allow you to sync with other devices?? Just lost some stars 😢

Faithfully download app every December!. I really would love to find out how long I’ve been using this app. It has definitely been years and years. Every Christmas I download it, organize family, set budget, and it helps me through the holidays! I would always love to support apps by purchasing paid version, and I am not suggesting there aren’t benefits purchasing it here. However, I’ve always done exactly what I needed the app to do without the constant pop ups telling me to buy like other apps. I appreciate how well this all has worked and how reliable it always is. It truly has become apart of my holiday rituals. I saw this app wasn’t nearly as popular as I believe it should be, so I hope my one review will encourage others to download and use it!

YES YES and.... The app is great, love that I can quickly see how many & how much I've spent on each person. Really love that I can see what items I've ordered which are not yet delivered, but would like an easier way to switch from ordered to delivered (or to wrapped). Desperately need to easily be able to sync between phone & tablet. Also be able to track gifts FROM others, so if I buy for a child from grandparents it CAN be tagged (or not) so the gift & cost aren't counted (unless chosen) in my total but I can see in orders, wrapped, overall snapshot.

Can’t get through Christmas without it.. I hate writing reviews but felt the need to give this developer credit where credit is due. This app does everything but wrap the gifts for you. So here I am back again for the coming 2018 Christmas. I may need to add this is my third year using it. You set your budget and even have the option to put in already thought of gifts but not bought. Once bought you can add what store you bought it from, how much you paid and even wether it is already wrapped and where it is hidden. It has a password and adds up if you are on budget or over or under. You can’t ask a Christmas list app to do anything more than this already has. I will never do Christmas without it and if it came down to I had to, well I would just be lost, over budget and have a bunch of lost gifts. Thank you so much!

Nice and Simple but…. Really enjoying using this app for my Christmas planning this year. It does the budgeting and management functions well, but there is one significant missed opportunity on this app.. The current functionality only allows me to work Christmas lists, and only one per calendar year at that (makes sense, Christmas is only once a year). However, an easy expansion of the app would be to allow me to creat a yearly birthday/events list as well. I’d love to be able to have the Christmas season in one list, then flip to a 2024 birthdays/anniversaries/whatever else list to keep my year in line.

This ones a winner!!. Thank you first to the developers of this app. It’s perfect. I’ve used an old gift organization app I downloaded 6 years ago (which hasn’t been supported for the last 3 years) because each year when I went to look for a new one, I could literally find nothing even close to functional. This one is the bomb. Can organize by what stage the gift is in (idea, ordered, purchased, wrapped, etc), by family group, and there’s even a category for handmade items. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE and THANK YOU for creating this app. Only suggestion would be a way to manually sort the groups. For example now, I put an “A” in front of my “immediate family” group so when I sort by group it comes up first, but could be cool to let folks move the groups to whatever order they want instead of defaulting to alphabetical. This is such a small nit though. Get this app!!

Great organizational app. I enjoy jotting down gift ideas when they come to mind and this app helps me do just that and keep them all in one place. I like being able to change the status from “idea” to “to buy” to “ordered”, etc. The UI has improved significantly over the last year or two; I’ve used this app since 2010. I use it mostly for Christmas but also throughout the year for birthday gifts as well. I had issues with still seeing ads after paying to remove them, but the developers reached out via email and were very helpful.

10 Stars If I Could. I have been using this app for three years now and cannot say enough good things about it. If you use all of the tools in this bad boy when entering your recipients and gifts, it will organize a list for you in every way imaginable. Need to know how much you have left to spend and what else is left to buy? It'll give you that. Need to know what you have to pick up at a particular store? It'll do that, too. Have to sort between your and your significant other's families? It's got it covered. Add notes to each gift to know where you hid it in your house. Update gift statuses so you know what you have left to buy, purchase, wrap, or give. Even in 2012 when an update had a bug, the developer was quick to respond to emails and fix the bug. Since then, no issues. I feel like the developer thought of everything when creating this. Perfect Christmas shopping list/budget/idea book/organizing app!

Great gift app with the exception. Update: I’ve dropped my star rating to 2 stars for lack of response from the the developer to enable syncing between devices. Out of all the gift apps, this is my favorite. You can pull from your contacts or individually add recipients. I love that you can personalize the stores purchases are made and the best feature other gift apps don’t have, you can tag gifts as stocking stuffers. I would love to give it 5 stars except that it doesn’t sync between devices. This is a really important feature to have and there is no reason not to make it available. I’m aware backup on Dropbox is an option but it doesn’t always work and I still end up entering info in both my phone & iPad. I know I’m not the only user requesting this option. Please make it work.

Best Gift App. I used this app for the past 2 Christmases with no complaints. This year I (foolishly) decided to pay for a very similar app. I somehow thought that not being free meant the other app must have additional features or be easier to use. It didn't and it wasn't. I often buy gifts online that can be split between my 3 kids. The "pay" app has no way to easily split the gift's price. I either need to manually divide by 3 or my budget will be off. It also does not have the option to automatically add sales tax. These are useful, time-saving features! So, for anyone else wondering, you don't necessarily get what you pay for in this case.

Fantastic app!. The way this app is organized is perfect. It allows you to sort by gifts, recipients, even create a shopping list sorted by store, and of course tracks how much you've spent. I've doubled all my recipients with "birthday" as a last name so now I will be using it all year. Love it, definitely worth the $3 for the archival feature. Update: Just started this year's Christmas shopping, and I definitely appreciate having a) the archive feature so I know what I gave last year, b) the option to add a photo to the gift entry, and c) the ability to sort "needs to buy" by store, which creates an alphabetized shopping list. I now have 20 outfits for 20 children, effortlessly organized and I won't have to wonder what's for whom when I sit down to wrap several weeks from now. 2017 update: I would really appreciate going into a recipient profile, tap add gift, and see a drop-down list of all "unassigned" gifts. I have a stash of gifts I buy on clearance all year, and it's easy to forget what's available.

My Suggestion for this app..... ......Would be.....(1) to make it easier to share your list somewhere like to google docs or something AND (2) if you could somehow make a PRINT version. I would love a printed piece of paper to keep in my purse because: 1. Half the time I can’t get reception when I’m in the mall 2. It’s nice to pull out a piece of paper and make quick notes on when I’m in a hurry and running around , I don’t want to have to go from place to place within the app. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE APP IS...(1)I love having a budget, (2) I love the idea of a list of stores I need to hit, (3) I love all of the details within each recipient It’s a great app!

Where are my budgets?. *update - 2 years later and this still has not been fixed. I love this app, but I do not understand why a simple feature (carrying over recipient budgets from year to year) is no longer an option. Super annoying to have to go back to the previous year to copy them all again every year.* I have used this app for 10 years. I love it, I tell everyone about it. I paid for the pro version years ago. I just went to start my 2020 list and it did not import my recipient budgets from the previous year. That’s one of the reasons I use it, so I know what I spent on people last year without having to enter each one again every year. If you have to set everyone up each year, what would keep someone from trying a competitor app?

Long time user still loves it!. I have been using this app for at least 3 years and I absolutely love it. It is perfect. There is no way I've wanted to view, sort, filter or track that wasn't possible. Stable and bug free in my experience. I can't recommend highly enough. Set recipients, set budget (total and per recipient) create gift ideas, set status to ordered, received , wrapped, given... Split a gift between recipients or select multiple recipients to each receive one of a gift. Shopping list by store, keep track of how much you've spent and the total number of gifts. AND archive gifts at end of season and view them in future years (avoid repeating yourself unintentionally!) and SO much more!

Handy .. but where's $AU?. I love this app, great for keeping track of the budget and where I've stashed items around the house! 2 improvements ASAP please: add other world currencies/symbols e.g. $,€,£,¥ (shows only CHF) and I'd like to be able to copy a gift (and all associated data) and paste to another recipient.

Worth it for lots of recipients. A bit cheeky on the in app purchase price, but worth it because the app is so intuitive.

I love this app. I would love a birthday app the same as this. Made Xmas soooo easy. Thank you.

Top Xmas app. I don't normally write reviews but in this case I had to. This app is user friendly but with some lovely features. Don't change it. It is great the way it is.

Easy. This app is fantastic, makes keeping a list and setting a budget super simple!

Awesome. I use this app every year, very neat and takes away part of the stress. Highly recommend!

Awesome organisation for Christmas. This Ap is wonderful for planning Christmas shopping. May favourite feature is the shopping list where you can review all gifts to buy by the store you need to go to. Makes light of remember what to get for who when you visit each store. Very clever and user friendly. This is a Christmas gift to myself this year. Thank you! :)

Great app. Great app to keep all my Christmas shopping organised. Easy to use, good options etc. Best app I've found for this.

Great little Xmas app. Excellent for helping you keep track of everything. I particularly like the ordered gifts section so you keep track of deliveries. I'll be using this again next year!!

Was great. Was a great app. Had everything in it. Then 2 months before Christmas it crashes every time I try to open it. Had to delete the app reinstalled it but still crashes. And yes my phone is up to date!

Great app but can’t transfer recipients. I have used this app for 2 Christmas’s now and find it easy to use and a good tracker for buying gifts. I just wish I could transfer the names of recipients from one year to the next as I am usually buying for the same people

Great, easy to use APP. This APP is so clever and easy to use it even includes options that we wouldn't have thought to have which are really useful. You can set individual budgets, make a wish list, have a photo of the gift recipient, see what you've bought by store or recipient, take a photo of the gift, choose the progress of the gift ie. ordered, bought, wrapped, given. It's so brilliant and it even has a count down to the number of days before Christmas. Hoping it stops us overbuying gifts this year :-) is there an APP like this for other gifts throughout the year? We need it!

Brilliant & free too!. Love this ap! Bought a more popular ap which wasn't as good as this one then found this thankfully & this is much better! Can view at a glance how much money I have left to spend per person. Easy to use and its free! Very happy...thanks guys!

Life Saver!!!. LOVE this app! Wouldn't have made it through Christmas without it!!

So straightforward!. Great app. Thinking about using it month by month as an ongoing purchasing tool. Would be great if you could add 'budgeted price' vs 'actual price' so that you can see how much you saved on specials.

A great help. I love this app. I am so organized this year and haven't gone ova budget. It allows you to set budget for everyone you have to buy for and what shop you need to go to purchase it from. You can mark off items you buy so you know what you have left to buy. So if you like to be organized you need this..

Love it!. Absolutely love this app! Was perfect to keep track of all the gifts/$ Over Xmas when things get really hectic. Would loooove if you could make it an all year app with events like Bdays/Anniversaries/Easter etc

Contains so many features!. This app is amazing! The developers have really thought of everything, and it's free! I don't even need the pro version but I might buy it just to support this awesome app

Great app but needs syncing capability. I like being super organised for Christmas and this is the best gift app I have used so far, but I would like to be able to use the app on my iPhone and iPad and be able to sync between the two. I would like to use the app on my iPad at home & on my iPhone when christmas shopping so I can upload purchases on the go & use the shopping list. I'm not going to pay over $100 for Dropbox so I can sync between devices just for this app.

Great app!!. Has definitely made my Christmas shopping easier this year. It's kept me very organised. I love that you can include a photos for the items. It really helps when you are shopping around and need to track & compare ideas.

Christmas gifts sorted!. What an awesome app. Love that you can specify main gifts vs stocking stuffers. Also love the instant shopping list for those gifts yet to buy.

🎅🏻🎄Brilliant 🎄🎅🏻. Love this app , I but from September so makes it very easy as I can upload a photo as well as description of everything I have bought

Throw away your lists. This app is all you need!. Wonderful. Well thought out. Easy to use. I use it for birthday gifts too. Love it!!!!

Best gift list. I have tried quite a few gift list apps for Christmas and birthdays and this one is by far the best I have found so far

Best Xmas present app ever. Love this app!!!! It's so amazing all features. I have told everyone I know about the app!!! Couldn't of completed my Xmas shopping in record time without the app. I have over 20 ppl to buy for so its great to be able to keep track of where all the gifts are at.

Great way of tracking your Xmas budget. As I spread my Xmas purchases throughout the year, this app allows me to record the choices and prevents over purchasing when you forget you have already bought a gift for someone

Name and app logo problematic. I've just downloaded this app because it seems like the best one available- I really like it already- however I am fearful my children will see it on my phone as the name and logo are likely to expose a big secret!! Please think of a less incriminating name and logo... much appreciated.

LOVE this app. Helps my failing memory to remember all of the brilliant ideas I come up with during the year, and then keeps track of my purchases. This year I paid for the pro version and now I can also archive gifts so I can easily see what I bought in previous years. Santa's Bag is one of my favourite apps!

Brilliant!!!. This app is amazing, exactly what I wanted to help keep me in check with who, and what I had to buy for. Only beef is the pic preview is small. WORTHWHILE!

Great for the first year. Awesome to track people and presents, but no simple way to clear the gifts from the previous year. I don't want to enter everything again!

Love this app. I've tried two others and this is much easier to use and was planned better. It could perhaps use an email facility. I'd like to be able to email the list to myself for printing out. Love the back-up!!

Sensational. Love this! Got me through Christmas nice and easily. Would like to be able to share this with my partner so that we can both track budget and shopping progress. A web based backup with secure login would enable this.

Love it!. Great app, just what I wanted to keep track of my Xmas shopping and easy to adapt for birthdays too. Makes me feel super organised.

It's great - until you want to use it the following xmas!. I used this app last xmas and it worked well for me. Unfortunately it doesn't let you archive last years gifts unless you upgrade to the pro version for $4.99 - which I'm not willing to pay. It's also really hard to delete the gifts individually. So that's it. Won't be using it again this year.

Life Saver!. Thank you so much for designing an easy to use app that has everything I need in the one place. I had tried others but this app is hands down the best! Any chance you could make a birthday app similar? ;)

Great little app. Simple to use and to keep track of Christmas expenditures.. I got a shock when I entered all the items I had purchased throughout the year and realised how much I had spent in total on everyone! Great for budgeting!

Best App Ever. I can't believe all the features in this app... Make a personal budget, add people to your shopping list and make a budget for them, Christmas countdown and more... If you want to stay organized I HIGHLY recommend

5 stars!. Best app ever! Makes it a breeze to stay organized and on budget!

Disappointed. I have used this app for 4 years now.....downloaded again this year to do my yearly planning; however the save option under the recipients does not work, no way to track progress. Rendering this app useless now. Please update ASAP!

Worked fine till now. Used this for 3 years, worked well, but now the app won’t open, can’t access my data, seriously considering trying another app if it doesn’t resolve.

Best holiday app to have!. I love this app. This is the second year I've used it to keep me organized and I tried several before finding it. I really appreciate that I can put quite a bit of information into it and it keeps me very organized. I do wish that I could change the status of several gifts at a time instead of just one. It's time consuming to change each item from ordered to relieved to wrapped... Etc. If I could do a few at once, this would be much more efficient. Regardless, great app. I plan to use it again next year.

Love the app. It's a great way to organize your gift and keep you on budget.

Great. My only beefs are that I can make different lists with people on it, yet I can't view the individual lists?? and there is nothing to assign gifts to be given by different people. I can't easily see presents that my kids are giving each other.

Needs Syncing feature. Great app for staying organized but needs to be able to sync across multiple devices for total efficiency.

Best gift list I have used. This is a very good app that is quick and easy to use. Nicely organized with many different views for your list. Couple of suggestions - 1. add in auto totaling capability for group spend, 2 add field for recipient Bday & provide user definable 'event' so can be used for events other than Christmas 3. Add in 'relationship' field with user definable values for sorting, totaling by e.g. Child, Grandchild, Friend etc.

excellent!!!. This is the best gift giving app I have used! Having the archive option in the upgraded version is fabulous.

Love this app. Suggestions for upcoming updates: Added on sale cost Scan barcode Or Be able to take a pic Thanks!! Merry Christmas

By Far, the best Christmas list organization app I've tried!. Very user friendly, and so many things you can customize!

Super easy to stay organized!. Great list app, love it so far!

Amazing!. This app is awesome! Not only have I been able to keep my shopping list organized, but I have been able to stay within my set budget too! All thanks to this amazing app!

This app is awesome!. Never took the time to rate an app! This one is awesome! Kudos to the creators!

Great. Great way to track Xmas shopping. Wish it could also track whether or not I still need to wrap the gift, add a card/gift tag, etc.

Connie Christmas. I LOVE this app. It has helped me organize my complicated shopping lists so that I don't waste time doing it myself. It is a great place to keep notes on upcoming gift ideas throughout the year AND with a passlock I don't worry about my kids or hubby getting into my app and seeing my lists when they use my phone. I love how I can filter the lists so that if I am at a specific store it'll bring up all the items from all of my gift recipients that have gifts to shop for there. It even calculates prices with taxes added. You can even share your lists with others. It's one of the most useful apps I've ever purchased. I wouldn't do my Christmas shopping or planning without it! I highly recommend this app! 🎅🎄❤

Terms of use policy too vague and long to understand. The old version of this app was great. I deleted it after the new terms of use because it contained so many vague references to things relating to privacy that I can’t know what it’s tracking, what it does with the information, and who it is shared with. I will not support apps that can’t tell me in simple language what they are collecting, and why.

Helps you stay on track with holiday gift giving !. Santas bag has been very useful! Helps me stay organized and aware of the budget. One suggestion would be to be able to access the gift list from the recipients. Also a birthday app that links to this would be great!

Needs Options for Online Shopping. I've used Santa's bag for 3 years now. I still really like the app but I see room for improvement. I did a lot of online shopping this year & the app could really use an update in the status options. "Purchased" is great but with all the gift I ordered I need to keep track of what gifts I have received in the mail. It would be great to pull up a list of the things I am still waiting for.

I LOVE THIS APP. I use this app every year for Christmas shopping. It makes my life so much easier. Keeps me super organized.

Awesome!. I found this app last year randomly when I was searching for a Christmas tracker. I had tried others in previous years and then would usually just resort to my default pad of paper and pray no one would find it. I have a huge family so we just do stocking stuffers for each person, but that adds up to a lot of tiny items that are easily forgotten. Santa’s Bag helped me remember everything and see if I had wrapped it or not. And because I had to track different households and stuff, this was a tremendous help! This recent update looks even better too! So far my toddle hasn’t figured out what the app is for, but I password protect it cause he has figured out how to delete things without ya realizing it. So thanks for that safety feature! Thanks again for an awesome app! Makes my organized soul happy!

On the right track but needs work. When I try to add a note the keyboard hides the note section so can’t see what I’m typing. Also, would be nice to be able to make notes about different stores that carry if for price comparisons...

Santa bag. This app is AWESOME to keep track of gifts and stocking gifts and amount spent on people. Easy to understand !!

Can't delete stores, too much re-typing. Overall the app is good, kind of a hassle to input all the stuff though (eg. Always having to re-type the tax). Also, the graphics are really bad, seems like an app from 2011. Plus it won't let me delete stores! I accidentally misspelled a shop's name and I can't even delete it! Please update!

Love!. This app has made my Xmas planning and shopping so easy!

AMAZING. This app is perfect for Christmas shopping. No more losing my list in my bag. This made everything so much easier and its great seeing and knowing how much I've already spent and who I've bought for and who I still have left! Just all around great app!

Excellent!. I have been using this app to organize my gifts for the past two years, and have just upgraded to the pro version! This app functions exactly as you would hope, organizing gifts and recipients. Particular features I like: -will calculate tax for accurate budgeting -will allow you to split gifts between two recipients -will allow you to add recipients to one particular gift and tell you how much it costs for multiples without having to enter the details separately Highly recommended

Been using it for years!. Ive redownload this every year for at least the past 5. I love it and it makes things so much easier.

Great app. It's a very nice app but way too confusing though.

Love this!. I wish I'd had this years ago! It's easy and fun to use, and keeps my gifts organized. I love this app!!!

Changed for the worse. This ‘new’ version makes it more difficult to track spending. For example, there is no subtotal for stocking stuffers, nor does the app subtract your budget for each individual as you go. I am constantly pulling a calculator out to do what this app used to do before it was ‘improved’.

Makes staying on budget much easier!. I love this app! It has so many features I didn't even realize would be so handy. On top of keeping track of spending, being able to keep track of items on order and what has received is helpful, as well as tracking where gifts are hidden. No more lost gifts found a month later!

Best I've tried. I love this app-- you can enter and look up info easily, check what you need by recipient or by store, check your budget, know what's ordered, what's bought, what's wrapped -- even where you stashed it

LOVE THIS APP!!!. Hoping there will be an updated version for 2020! I’m ready for it now :)

Outstanding. My friend recommended this app to me one day and I didn't think much of it when I downloaded it but wow, it's really impressive. This helped me stay organized (privately, may I add) this Christmas season! It has so many great features (ie recipients, budgeting). I would highly recommend this app!

Lost previous entries. I used this app for a number of years and loved it. With the new update, all of my previous entries disappeard. I used it to keep track of who gets what every year. Now I have no idea what I usually buy/tip for clients. 😞

Love it!!. This app is great for organizing your Christmas shopping!! So many choices. I love how it creates your shopping list!! Love! Love! Love it!!!

A MUST HAVE APP. The best organizational Christmas too around. Use to keep lists in notes. Much easier to track everything now with pics and everything. Love it!!!!!'

Love it. Great gift tracking. Third year I've used it and it keeps my people from year to year no need to enter each year just modify.

Love this app!!!. Looking for a great Christmas list app to help you get organized this year?? Get this one! I have lots of little gifts for teachers, kids stuff and all the family on top. I can make a list for everyone, mark purchased. It can sort by what's left to buy, or who still needs stuff purchased. Not to mention the budget use and summary. I've used other apps and they've lacked in one way or another. Not this one! Great app!

Perfect!. Really awesome app to stay organized and on budget!

Awesome!!!!. This is one of the best apps I have ever downloaded. It has made Christmas shopping so much more organized and less stressful this year. Nothing was missed in the creation of this app! Well done!

Must have app for the holidays. Amazing app! Allows you to breakdown your Christmas shopping list by recipient and set budgets per recipient and a total budget. Allows you to organize your whole holiday. Must have and highly recommended!

Almost perfect!!. Thank you! I agree with previous review suggestion to have barcode and picture option too! &.. Could you make a birthday app? That'd be awesome! :)

Love it. I love it. I use it through out the year. Would be perfect if birthdays occasions could be added.

Excellent App !!. I love this app !! I have use this gift tracking app for several years with great success. It is exceptionally easy to use and it has all the functionality I need +more. I have tried a couple of other apps to see how different they are and Santa’s Bag always comes out the winner. To the developers: thank you for creating such a great all-around gift tracking app, Keep up the great work!

Overall, a great app for Christmas organizing. This is my second year using Santa’s Bag and I like how it gives me the opens to set individual budgets and track spending. Word to the wise.... tuck this app in a folder that has zero interest to your kids if they ever use your phone. The picture of Santa is too enticing lol

My Christmas Helper!. My gift buying has been so much better since I started using this app. Not only does it keep track of everything from year to year, it keeps me on budget. Can’t imagine holiday shopping without it!

Amazing and so helpful. It made planning Christmas easy to plan . I highly recommend this app

1st Cmas shop list app that did the job!!. I'm a list writer and an Excel spreadsheet keeper. Tried a Cmas app last year that failed miserably. Tried this one and it is fantastic. I love that you can keep track of everyone individually (what you have bought and what you have yet to buy) but I really love the shopping list feature. Click on that it'll tell you exactly what you need to purchase still. Best app I've ever downloaded for free.

So Sad. You have seen requests from users to provide sharing capability…. As far back as 8 years ago.. you ignore the request and do not invest back into your product, regardless of the fact you said this feature was coming soon. Your feel all of the 4-5 star reviews will carry you into fortune. Perhaps you have made good money with this app, but I feel you have failed your customers, and have failed to provide the improvements that have been voiced. If you can provide the sharing capability, I would pay $9.99 in a heartbeat, as the rest of the app is amazing!

Need ability to sync between devices - otherwise great. This app has everything I look for in an app EXCEPT for one very important feature - the ability to sync between devices. I like to enter information on my iPad but be able to access it on my iPhone. For now I’ll end up entering the bulk of the information on my iPad and then use the backup and restore feature to move the list to my iPhone. Please add the ability to sync via iCloud. So far that is the only feature that is keeping it from being a 5 star review.

I love this app, but it’s missing something BIG. I love this app. I’ve used it for years, but I’m always out there searching for one better because it doesn’t allow my husband and I too both access it. It’s almost 2024- we are sharing the mental load now and one person cannot be responsible for managing this tool. There are other apps that allow this, but I like the functions of yours. I’m a paid user and I would pay more for this function. Santa had a village and I need mine too!

Been using it for years!. I *LOVE* this app! It’s extremely user friendly. I love how organized it helps keep me. I can create an overall budget plus individual budgets for each person. My absolute favorite feature is I can type in the location I’ve hidden the gift since I start shopping in the summer. No more forgetting I’ve bought a gift or forgotten where I’ve hidden it!

Best app for moms of big families!. I’ve been using this app since 2016 and every year I give it more and more praise. This is honestly the best app ever for a mom with 7 kids. Buying 157 gifts is overwhelming enough, but being able to organize and keep track of them all by means of this app has been so helpful. I’ve shared the app with so many people over the years. Thank you for making such an incredibly powerful app. My kids are thankful too!

Life Saver!. I rarely rate apps but this is fantastic. I used this app last Christmas and I was so excited to use it again. I love that I could look back to make sure I wasn't giving anything twice. Holiday shopping can be so stressful and this helps so much. If you order most of your gifts, this is for you. It helps me to keep track when I have all of these packages arriving at different times and they are scattered all over my house. I recommend this app to all of my friends and family.

Perfect for the online shopper. This was so helpful for a couple reasons... I did most of my shopping online this year and this app has made it to easy to keep track of what's arrived and what I'm still waiting for. I've never been more organized. It's also helped me see that I may have an online shopping problem... Kidding... It did help me stay relatively on budget though.

Amazing!. I’ve been using this app for a few years now and I love it. It lets me organize and track recipients, gifts, and spending with tons of options for indicating status and viewing it, even a “to make” category! And I can include photos! I’m way more organized now than I ever was when I tried to keep track of everything by hand or with spreadsheets.

No Note area. This is a great app. Easy to use. My only wish for this app is that it would include an area either by person, or preferably by the specific gift, where you could add a note about that gift. For instance, specifics they are looking for to make that gift work for them. Perhaps a color choice. Maybe it has to have two shelves instead of three, depending, of course, on what the item is. To me, with the addition of a Notes area, this would definitely be a five star!

The Perfect Christmas Shopping List. This is my third year using this app and it is exactly what I've needed my whole life for Christmas shopping! I love that it lets you set what your budget is as a whole and for each individual and then allows you see how much you have left to spend. I also use this app as a running list of gift ideas all year round.

Use it every year. This is my third year using Santa’s bag. As the gift buyer for my family of five (not to mention parents and my own sibling), this app keeps everything organized. I use it throughout the year as gift ideas come up. Although the ads are not noticeable, I went ahead and paid for the add free version just to support the app makers. That’s how useful this app is!

Love love love it!. I usually use a spreadsheet for my Christmas list, but it's always a hassle to either print it or try to view it through my email. This app allows me to stay organized and I intend to use I throughout the year for birthday gifts and such. I do wish there was a place to enter an original price because I like to keep up with what I would have spent versus actual as well!

Love this app! ❤️. I downloaded this after last Christmas. I hate trying to remember who all I need to buy for. I used to keep a list in a notebook that I always lost. My 6 year old has become quite the good reader, so it's only a matter of time before she finds my notebook and knows her gifts. I just bought my first gift for this year and put it in. I'm already loving this app.

All my Christmas notes together!!. Love it- tracking every gift I need, as well as budget, where I got it and even where I have hidden it! ( I would add ability to share 'santas bag-even through pro version, also, I would enjoy being able to be able to track the original item price as well as the price I paid.) Overall, awesome, I have already recommended to friends. I am going to be watching for a birthday gift program!!!

I feel so organized!. My lists are usually scattered all over. Not this year. I wrote it all down-ideas, stuffers, everything. Easy to navigate. Love the shopping list feature, ordered item feature and that you can see at a glance number of items and price total for each kid because we have to be equal. Very important. I'd love to upgrade so I can archive for next year

A must have!. This is one of my absolute favorite apps! I truly feel they have thought of every little aspect of Christmas shopping and included it in this app. I always recommend this app to friends and I use it year round. It’s so perfect for remembering the crap I bought year round and hid and forgot about🤣 they even have a spot for you to say where you hid the item! Freaking genius!

They have thought of EVERYTHING!!. This is seriously my favorite app on my phone. I hate to shop, much less keep up with everything for everyone in our entire family during Christmas. This is my third Christmas to use this app and it keeps getting better and better. It works flawlessly and has everything that I need to keep organized during such a crazy busy season. Thank you makers of this app!

A necessity to keep presents organized every year. A friend told me about this app a few yrs ago and I LOVE it!!! It’s so perfect for tracking all the gifts for my husband and 4 kids. I love that I can track how much I’m spending, where I got gifts from (or still need to get them from) and what the status is- (ordered, to be wrapped, etc.) I feel so much more organized and relieved that I’m not forgetting anything (or anyone.) I recommend this app to all my friends and family.

So Helpful!. I was on TikTlooking for recommendations as to how to better organize my Christmas shopping and gifts. This app is so helpful! It had so many ways to keep track of gifts. Budget, person, what still needs to be purchased, what needs wrapped, etc. the ONLY recommendation I would make to the developer is to have an option to take a picture of the receipt for each item.

totally recommend!. i’ve been using this app every year since like 2016 i think? it’s so helpful and it feels really festive. i love making normal lists but i download this app every year because it’s so much better than just a list in your notes. Great for keeping track of the ideas you have, presents you’ve gotten/wrapped/(etc they have options), the money you spend, and how much you CAN spend. i’ve recommended ‘santa’s bag’ to so many people😂😂

It makes organizing Christmas shopping so much easier!. This was even better for me last year when one of my kids still “believed”. The fact that you can designate which items are stocking stuffers is great since I always need to make sure that Santa was fair to each kid and that we were fair to each kid. I don’t need to do that this year. But I love having one place for Christmas specific shopping list, and tracking which items I have bought, which were ordered but not in yet, and what I still need to buy. You can look at lists by store, check status for each recipient, so many great options. It has made organizing Christmas shopping so much easier! And it’s very easy to use. Can’t recommend it highly enough.

Just what I needed!. This app is fabulous! The fact that I can save pictures of the gifts I put on the list is wonderful! I looked around at other apps but they all either didn't support pics or they cost money. I really didn't feel like paying money for one, then I came across this one that supported pics AND was free, and I was so happy. Plus, the app works well, never really experienced any technical problems so far. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it! 5 stars all around!

Keeps me on track!. Love this app! Love the updates that have been added. It keeps me organized and on budget. This is my second year using it leading up to Christmas (yes, I start in the summer!!) and I love that I don't forget that I bought something already because I add it. It keeps track of my ideas, reminds me of my budget, and makes me an even better gifter because I've planned ahead!!

Awesome App!. I downloaded this app before I started shopping this year. It keeps your list of people to buy for, presents ordered, bought, wrapped, hidden with location of hiding spot, ideas for gifts, how much you've spent, keeps up with your budget, even makes you a shopping list for you. I will use this app yearly. It is very simple, very useful, very needed. Thank you for making such a wonderful app!

LOVE this app. I love this app!! It’s the best Holiday shopping app out there. I love that I can add photos and record the status of my gifts (idea, purchased, wrapped, etc.). I just wish there was a website to sync with (or better yet, a google extension) because sometimes it’s easier to shop on a desktop and quickly save items that way. (Like AnyList will save the whole recipe and fill in all the info. I wish I could click one thing and it saves the photo, link, store, and price at once.)

Love this app!!. This is a well done app. I wish I had been using it rather than my notes app to keep my ideas organized all year - but luckily I found the app while still working on getting my gift ideas and shopping organized. It has everything you could imagine wanting in a Christmas shopping list app! I plan to upgrade in order to keep my lists from year to year - the app is well worth the money!

Best app ever... Year round!. I've been using this app year round for three years. I decided to upgrade to the full version and I LOVE how I can sync from devices. I use this app year round and anytime I hear someone say 'I wish I had that' or 'that's really neat!', I'll add it on their name. It makes for buying not only Christmas gifts, but also birthday, Mothers/Fathers Day and many other holiday gifts. Of all the apps that I've purchased, this is my favorite and most used!

A HUGE Improvement!!. This app has improved leaps and bounds since I used it last year! I was all set to give it five stars and would have given it 4.5 if possible but there is one issue I've found so far that has foiled me several times...the "Wish" list. It's not a bad idea, my problem is if you inadvertently create an item as a "Wish" item you can't change it to a "Gift" item. You have to completely recreate the item. A simple edit feature here would bring it to five stars.

Keeping track of Christmas shopping has never been so easy!. I love this app! The list can be sorted by recipient, need to buy, waiting for delivery, store and more. It's easy to keep track of budget/spending. Lists are customizable. The big weakness shows up in the pro version. Backup is manual through Dropbox. This could be confusing if you make changes on more that one device. I'd prefer an option for automatic syncing through iCloud.

Hands down THE BEST Christmas list organizer app. This is by far the best app for organizing Christmas lists and budgets. This app developer has thought of everything, options for stocking stuffers, homemade items, ordered, purchased, wrapped, ideas, etc. I absolutely don’t do Christmas without this app. For 3-4 years now I’ve been a very happy and loyal user. And the app developer replies promptly and courteously if you have an issue. And it’s FREE!!!!!

Good but missing basic functionality. This is my second year using the application and it is easy to use and offers multiple views that add value, but just like last year it still does not allow you to share the data with someone else or to even print the data to share with someone. I contacted the developers last year with the same questions and was told these features would be coming in the future I'll be finding a new app for 2017

The Best **UPDATE 2021**. I’ve used this app for a few years now and love it. I add ideas to it through the year and when it’s time to shop I’m ready to roll and can get it done and enjoy the season. **UPDATE 2021** I have used this app for 4 years straight. It’s so awesome to have so when I have an idea in June I can record it in the app. I plan to use this app forever. It has organized Christmas giving for me in such a way I can’t use anything else.

Wish there were more features. I download this app each year for Christmas, but I would love to keep it year round if it had more features. Being able to keep track of contact's birthdays and bought gifts, as well as holiday card lists would be great. As-is, it serves a good tracking purpose and is my go-to for Christmas organization

Please change the app image. I love this app! It has helped me so much with my shopping this year. But I have kids who sometimes go on my phone and see an app with Santa on it just makes them want to click it! I’d love it if it could be changed to something not so kid-friendly. Otherwise it’s fantastic! I had foot surgery 3 weeks ago and am in a cast far past Christmas. I’m able to ensure I have gifts for everyone despite my lack of ability to actually to go through my gifts. Great app!

So much better than a regular list!. I LOVE that this is password protected. The ability to select a status of ordered, purchased, need to buy is great. I like being able to see the total number and dollar amount of gifts by recipient (gotta make it equal for the kids since they will notice!) I paid for the archive feature and it's so helpful! I'd love to see a subtotal of spending for stocking stuffers separate from gifts so I can see what I've spent just on those items per person.

Easy to use.... I’ve used this app for the last three years. I absolutely love it. It helps me keep track of ideas for gifts and it helps create a shopping list. The full version also lets you archive the gifts at the end of the year so you can always look back at what you purchased the next year and not repeat anything -very helpful if your shopping for a lot of kids in your family. I don’t think I’d make it through Christmas shopping without this app.

Way to ruin a good thing😡. **Update** So super sad😩 All previous information is lost and now app is $5.99. No response after sending a email to developers as to what happened to all of my archived years? Dropbox is wiped of all my Santa's Bag Archived Files, yet every other apps back up data is intact. Giving Santa's bag another try, and I guess you can only enter so much before you HAVE to purchase. Would be nice if they'd have given a heads up before going to premium, I would've gladly paid.. LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! This app! Used it last year & came in just a few $ over my budget thanks to this.. Archived all of my 2011 gifts this morning & now logging current gifts. Super happy they added the tax feature & am going to save it all to Dropbox. Yay!😄😄😄 **Update** I have successfully been using this app since 2011. Just archived my 2014 list to start inputting this years gifts. So great to be able look back to previous years and not duplicate gifts😎🎅🏻

Perfect! You need this app!. This app is absolutely perfect for tracking Christmas presents. It keeps you organized throughout the whole process. I am very detail-oriented and picky about my apps. You can't beat this one for FREE! I have been using this app for three years and have not found anything else that comes even close. This year I upgraded to the paid version so I could keep my history of presents and people purchased for. Highly highly recommended!

Helps me stay focused every year!. I have used this app for the past 2 Christmases. I love how it counts down. I've actually shown children the countdown clock and they get excited. But, more importantly, I like the budget setting bc it keeps me on track and there are no surprises after it's all over. I also appreciate that I can put where I "hide" the gifts because I have a hard time remembering where I put things and then I'll find it after Christmas is over. Ugh! Great app to keep spending in check.

Love this app. I have been using this app for past 8 years and absolutely love it. It is my ‘go to’ at the start of every holiday season. It makes it so easy to track what I have bought each person and how much I’ve spent on them. I love how easy it is to pull up my shopping list and compare to prior year’s giving too. It’s the best holiday shopping app out there.

Best app EVER. I never write reviews and this app is good enough that I couldn’t NOT write one!! This app is fantastically wonderful, it has made the Christmas season chaos a million times easier this year!! I’d love to use it for birthdays, anniversaries, and gift tracking for anything throughout the year too. Do you have another app that works the same for year round items? Or can the functionality be built into this one?? Looking forward to your answer! Merry Christmas 😊

Best list ever!. This app has made my Christmas shopping a breeze! I used to keep everything in a list on my phone, but this offers so much more. Not only can I keep track of who is getting what, it is so easy to see my shopping list if things I still need. It also helps with budgeting with a total Christmas budget as well as bidets for each recipient.

Checkin his list.... Do you get ideas though out the year? When you start shopping online and you're sitting by the fire where do you go to see what you want to buy? Santa's Bag of course!! Love this app and you must purchase full app so you can archive each year. Cause if you are like me and buy, buy, buy you forget what you got in previous years. So much to this simple app. Only suggestion would be a choice to mark gift as a birthday gift. Yes, I know this is a Christmas app but why limit it?

Organized Christmas Shopping. This is the my third year using Santa’s Bag. I archived my 2015 and 2016 Christmas purchases so I can see what I have people is the past and how much I spent on them. The developers thought of everything to keep shopping organized. There’s even a location field where you can track where you hid your gifts. You can distinguish between regular gifts and stocking stuffers. The app has been very reliable. I highly recommend.

Love the app but still waiting on updates. Completely in love with this app I used it in 2017 and I have already started my 2018 shopping lists and purchases. The app has suggestions included but you can’t take it and add it as an idea for someone on your list or add it to your list to purchase later. I would also like to add a notes section to add a link right to the item to purchase it at a later date. Other than that this app is amazing and I can start my list all over the following year.

Good app but I see ads even though I bought it?!. This is a great app, however I went for the paid version and am seeing ads across the bottom of the screen which get in the way of using the app. They want another $4.99 to get rid of the ads which does not make me happy. I reached out to customer support to ask why I’m seeing ads when I paid for the app and of course I have received no response. I would have never bought it if I knew ads would be clogging up my screen.

Best way to “Christmas” is with Santa’s List!. I’ve used this app for YEARS now and I can’t imagine trying to organize all my Christmas-ing without it!! It keeps the people organized, the gifts organized, even the stores organized so you never get lost among the bows and ribbons! I would HIGHLY recommend this app for anyone looking for a clearer, brighter, more jolly way to keep track of Christmas this year! :)

Great organizational app!. Love this app! Christmas is organized now. No lost or forgotten gifts. I like the "In progress" & "complete" in the Recipients view. It would be nice to have other viewable categories added such as a "Wrapped" & "Given" in that view as well! That would make it even more awesome and quickly viewable without having to go into the recipient each time to see what stage they are at. Thanks for a great app! Best one out there currently!

Santa App is my organizational fav!. I use this app all year long! We have a large family to buy for, and I’m constantly picking things up throughout the year! Before this app, I built spreadsheets to help keep track of my budget, location fo gifts, etc. This is much more simple and is with me in the store to refer back to! I even use it for birthdays and other holidays. Can’t live without it!
