Tuesday Tip: Is your Holiday Shopping Done?

The holidays can be a very stressful time of year. You have a list of people you need to purchase a gift for and you want to ensure you buy them something they will enjoy and that you can afford. Add in a pandemic and the stress just increased. Me being a tad bit on the OCD side started about six months ago and just completed all my shopping by November; don’t hate. If you are not that organized, here is some help for you, whether you are late in shopping for this holiday or need some assistance next year or another occasion.

GiftPlanner lets you easily keep track of your gift list and events. Keep your gift plan information, including gifts and ideas, stores and prices, purchase statuses, order and tracking numbers, photos, links, and more, in one convenient app. Perfect for your Christmas list, birthday gifts, or any kind of event.

Send gifts directly from your desktop or mobile web browser to your GiftPlanner app with a creative “bookmarklet”, letting you browse the web on your mobile device or your desktop or laptop computer and send pages directly to your list to be imported as new gifts without interrupting your shopping activities.

Now I will admit, I have not used GiftPlanner as I stayed way ahead of the game, however it did get great reviews.
