SHOPPING OVERVIEW

Simple, at-a-glance views of shopping progress including budget.

ADD GIFTS LIKE JOTTING A NOTE

Adding 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!

IMPORT FROM YOUR CONTACTS

Get a jumpstart on your lists by importing select recipients from your existing contacts.

EASY SHARING

Easily share lists using AirDrop, email, iCloud Drive, or Messages. Use AirDrop to quickly share a single recipient or an entire group.

SHOPPING LISTS BY STORE

Once 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.

MULTIPLE GIFT RECIPIENTS

Once you create a gift you can copy it to other recipients on your list without the need to retype the details.

POPULAR RETAILERS

The 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.

ADD PHOTOS

Add photos for gifts and people from your photo library, clipboard, or camera.

CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN

PRINTING

NO PEEKING

EDIT MULTIPLE GIFTS AT ONCE

Changing 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.
