Forget making your list, and checking it twice. These 4 holiday gift-buying apps make your Christmas shopping and spending easy.

The Christmas List

The Christmas List

The Christmas List app lets you keep track of all your Christmas gift purchases, ideas and to-do lists. You can organize every person on your list into separate groups — family, friends, coworkers etc. You can even add photos to each person’s Christmas list to keep it fun and personal. Add gift items by browsing by store and categorize each product into “must have”, “definitely want” or “maybe”. It is easy to keep track of your gift spending by each group and stay under budget. You can email or share your list on Facebook. Your To Do list will give you information about how many gifts you purchased, wrapped, shipped and received.

The Christmas List app is available for $1.99 on iOS.
