Gift·Mate

Gift Mate is a gift list manager, helping you keep track of people, their gift lists, and their budgets.

Gift Mate is your holiday gift tracker buddy! It’s like having a personal assistant for all your gift-giving adventures. You can start with a simple idea, then track it all the way from purchase to wrapping and sending. Plus, it’s super helpful for keeping an eye on gift budgets—you can see how much you’ve set aside versus how much you’ve actually spent, both for each person and for the whole holiday.

Using Gift Mate is super easy! Just pop in a holiday, add a person, and then link them to the holiday, including how much you want to spend. Whenever you think of a gift, just add it to their list. And hey, if you spot a gift in a store, you can just scan the title, price, or UPC code to add it in a flash! Plus, you can share gift ideas or lists with other people using Gift Mate. As you decide what to give, simply adjust the status of the gift to move from "idea" to "purchased" to "wrapped" to "mailed".

The gift list information is shared among all your devices that share your Apple ID, so your iPad at home and your iPhone in the store share the same gift lists.

This app is free. It was created based on my needs for a good gift list manager with the features I want at my fingertips as I gift shop. I hope it works for you too.
