While the economy starts to slowly climb out of the recession, many consumers are heading into the holiday shopping season more budget minded than ever. Arming yourself with pens, pads of paper, and calculators has worked okay in the past for keeping track of your Christmas shopping list and budgets, however now there’s a convenient and space saving way to do it on your iPhone and iPod Touch! Introducing: Christmas Gifts List!
“Money management is extremely important to consumers right now” said Adam Williams, President of Adamcode.com and creator of the “Ultimate Holiday Gift Lists” application – a unique holiday shopping list application with a built in budgeting feature. “The iPhone, when used with the right applications is the ultimate personal organizer, and can help keep shoppers from spending more than they intended”.
Each year consumers reach post holiday shopping depression come January when the credit card statements come rolling in. It starts so innocently, $10 here, $15 there but just like everything else, it adds up quickly. How can you prevent this from happending? Well, you can take the way of the Grinch, and just say BAH HUMBUG to the holidays, or you can buy everything you need and stay right on budget with the Christmas Gifts List app. “I’ll be out early on Black Friday” said Shannon Kiehn, a mother of two and state worker in Sacramento, California. “The tight economy means that sales are that much more important. I’ve got a set amount of money I need to stretch into gifts for quote a few people.”
The Christmas Gifts List app allows consumers to input the wish lists for everyone on their holiday shopping list, (so that you can remember what all the children, nieces & nephews want) avoiding another painful trip to the mall! You can even assign a target budget amount for each person, making it extremely easy to stay on budget. As gifts are purchased you can check them off and the app automatically subtracts the purchase amount for your budget! The app’s interface intuitively lets you see how much money is left in the total budget as well as for each individual. Worried that the wife and kids are going to see what you listed under their names? No problem! Christmas Gifts List has a built in “Lock” function that allows you to keep your lists behind a unique PIN number so others can’t see them.
Christmas Gifts List application takes the stress out of keepings lists and sticking to budgets this Black Friday and holiday season, allowing shoppers to be able to focus on what’s really important, determining how to avoid your great aunt Mildred’s fruit cake for the fifth year in a row!
Christmas Gift Lists is available for the iPhone or iPod touch for $0.99 and is currently in the top 25 of the productivity section of the iTunes App Store.
