When editing a list you can change the status of multiple gifts at once (for example, when you are wrapping gifts you can change the status of those gifts from purchased to wrapped all at once).\n\nEASY BUDGETING\nSet a budget for a person or don’t – it’s up to you. The Christmas Lists tracks the budget for you. It’s so easy that The Christmas List has been recommended for managing holiday spending by\n  • Good Housekeeping\n  • The Motley Fool\n  • mint.com\n  • BankRate.com\n  • CNBC\n\nSHOPPING OVERVIEW\nSimple, at-a-glance views of shopping progress including budget.\n\nADD GIFTS LIKE JOTTING A NOTE\nAdding a list of gifts is as simple as typing (or even dictating) a note. Just place each gift name on a new line and The Christmas List transforms your note into a gift list. It’s like Christmas Magic!\n\nIMPORT FROM YOUR CONTACTS\nGet a jumpstart on your lists  by importing select recipients from your existing contacts.\n\nEASY SHARING\nEasily share lists using AirDrop, email, iCloud Drive, or Messages. Use AirDrop to quickly share a single recipient or an entire group.\n\nSHOPPING LISTS BY STORE\nOnce you select a store for a gift, The Christmas List remembers that store and automatically builds a shopping list for the store to help make sure you get everything you need when you are out and about.\n\nMULTIPLE GIFT RECIPIENTS\nOnce you create a gift you can copy it to other recipients on your list without the need to retype the details.\n\nPOPULAR RETAILERS\nThe Christmas List comes with a list of popular retailers, but if you don’t see the one you are looking for you can easily add your own. You can even use emoji in the store name.\n\nADD PHOTOS\nAdd photos for gifts and people from your photo library, clipboard, or camera.\n\nCHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN\nSee a countdown to the number of shopping days until Christmas right in the app.\n\nPRINTING\nPrint lists directly from the app.\n\nNO PEEKING\nOptional password protection – set up a PIN or use Touch ID to keep out snoops.\n\nEDIT MULTIPLE GIFTS AT ONCE\nChanging the status of several gifts at once has always been possible on the lists by status (accessed via the Progress tab). Now the lists by person and the lists by store can do it too. Also new is the ability to change the store for multiple gifts at once. It’s never been easier to keep track of what’s wrapped, shipped, and left to do.\n\n_________________________________________\n\n\nPEOPLE ARE TALKING...\n\n\"The Christmas List is solidly better...with more options and an easier interface.\" \n  – The New York Times \n\n\"...it’s happy-making\" \n  – Yahoo!
