If you’re doing Christmas on a budget, or at least wanting to keep a track of what you’re spending, you need this app. The Christmas Shopping List by iDelux has been my go-to for three years now. I should note – this is not a sponsored post – I just really like this app and think you might too!
Look, Smurpho loves it too! 5 reasons I rate this app:
- It’s password protected to no one can snoop on what presents you’ve bought them.
- It adds up your total budget based on how much you allocate to each person, tells you what you’ve spent so far and your total remaining – no mental arithmetics required woooo!
- The satisfaction of hitting the tick box for ‘Finished’.
- You have somewhere to jot down ideas: vague or specific.
- It doesn’t delete the info year to year, so when you log in next Christmas, you’ll see exactly what you bought for everyone the this Christmas. I find this especially useful for people who are tricky to buy for – note to self, not another candle for Mum this time!
This app costs 69p, which I think it worth it as it’s a bit of a lifeline for me at Christmas, I do tend to get carried away with Christmas shopping and seeing the budget I have set and what I have spent helps me keep it under control.
Do you plan out your Christmas shopping or do you just go with the flow?
