Can anyone recommend a good iPhone app for keeping up with Christmas gifts?

Nov 29, 2012 11:17 PM

Last year I had a really great app that allowed me to track gift ideas, along with a budgeted amount for each item. As I recall, I could update the information as I found prices for the ideas, could list suggested stores/sites for each item (which was a huge help when planning shopping excursions!), and could store ideas for future gifting. There were some other features, as well, and it was a free app. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line I uninstalled it and have no idea what it was called. I dug through the app store and none of the apps listed look familiar. There are quite a few Christmas Shopping apps out there, but I thought some of my fellow deal-hunting Wootizens might be willing to steer me to the best ones.

Can anyone help a late shopper out?

Well, I'll give it a shot. I just downloaded one called "No More Socks." It was free and got 4/5 stars. I haven't fooled much with it yet, but it looks pretty solid. I saw that there were several with really nice seasonal graphics, if you're interested in that. I think there were about 150 gift list apps available, and many of those were free.

@blgauthier: Thanks, that one looks pretty good. I have GOT to get organized! I have a box in my closet stuffed with Woot and other online purchases, I've bought one thing at a brick-and-morter for my mother, but so far that's all. I haven't even put together a good list!

Oooh! I just found a free app called Thank You List! Maybe I will actually write those thank you notes this year!!!

@belyndag: Thank you notes? Yuck! I don't think I've ever finished all of the notes for my wedding gifts and I've been married FOREVER!

You got me started looking at the Christmas Gift apps and I've seen a huge variety of prices. Most of the screen shots are showing British currency, though. I assume you have the option of changing the currency if you use them. Check out the customer reviews. It looks as though there are several new, unrated apps and a lot of apps that got less that 3 stars. I might have to download one of the cute Advent Calendars. Good graphics!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
