Christmas Gift List Tracker
$5
I want one place for every gift, every budget, and every thank-you — from the first idea to the last note.
This tracker is built for that. Add the people you are buying for, plan each gift, and check it off as you buy, wrap, ship and give. The spreadsheet does the math, flags anyone who goes over budget, and keeps stockings, shipping and thank-you notes in the same file. A 14-page printable is included for the fridge, a binder, or the shopping trip.
How it works
1. Type your gift budget (and optional stocking and shipping budgets) on Setup.
2. Add each person on the Recipients tab, with a group and a budget if you want one.
3. List every gift on the Gift Tracker: idea, price, store and a status (Idea, Bought, Wrapped, Shipped or Given).
4. Check the Dashboard as you go: days until Christmas, spent vs. budget, and who is over budget.
5. Use Stockings, Shipping and Thank You when you need them.
What's inside
- Spreadsheet (Google Sheets + Excel): Setup, Dashboard, Recipients (per-person budget vs. spent, with an over-budget flag), Gift Tracker, Stocking Stuffers, Shipping & Orders, and Thank-You Notes. Real formulas, so you never do the math.
- Two copies: one filled in for a sample household so you can see how it works, and one blank. All example names are made up.
- 14-page printable planner (undated): US Letter and A4, plus light-ink versions. Gift list (example and blank), recipient pages, wish list, stocking stuffers, shopping checklist, wrapping tracker, shipping tracker, thank-you tracker and notes.
- Start Here guide: how to open the file in Google Sheets or Excel, a tab tour, and printing tips.
Good to know
- Free Google Sheets works. No Excel needed.
- Reusable: change the year on Setup next year. The printable pages are undated.
- It doesn't connect to your bank. You type your own numbers, so your information stays with you.
