Tinsel: Christmas Gift List

Your Christmas gift list, card list and budget in one place on your iPhone. Snap a photo or share a screenshot into someone's wishlist the moment you see it, any time of year, then see what still needs buying, wrapping or thanking.

Tinsel List is a private Christmas planner for the person keeping track of it all. No account to create, no ads and no subscription.

SAVE IDEAS WHEN YOU FIND THEM Add a note, take a photo or choose pictures from your library. You can also share images to Tinsel List from another app. Keep ideas in each person's wishlist, then tap "Plan to buy" when you're ready to add one to your shopping plan.

KEEP TRACK OF EVERY GIFT Record gifts you've ordered, mark them as arrived or purchased, and tick them off as wrapped and given. Add an expected arrival date yourself so you can see which orders are late. Keep household gifts together in the General list.

PLAN YOUR CHRISTMAS BUDGET Set an overall budget, budgets for individual people, and allocations for gifts, food, decorations and trips. Enter estimated and actual prices to compare what you plan to spend with what you've spent. See what's left in your budget without connecting a bank account.

KEEP SURPRISES PRIVATE Turn on App Lock to require Face ID or your device passcode when opening Tinsel List. With the lock enabled, a privacy screen hides your lists when you switch away. Your planning data is stored locally on your iPhone, and the app works offline.

KEEP YOUR CARD LIST FOR NEXT YEAR Save names and mailing addresses, add selected people through Apple's Contacts picker, and mark this year's cards as sent. Your recipient list stays in place, with sent records kept separately for each year.

REMEMBER WHO TO THANK Record what each person received, who gave it and a photo if you'd like. Use the thank-you checklist to mark each gift as thanked.

PLAN BEYOND THE GIFTS Keep food, decorations and trips alongside your gift lists. Check the Christmas countdown and choose optional annual reminders, with dates and times you can adjust.

START NEXT CHRISTMAS WITH WHAT YOU NEED Look back at archived plans and choose which wishlist items and unbought gift ideas to carry into a new year. Export an encrypted backup when you want to keep a separate copy or move your plans to another iPhone.
