The main page is your overview. It greets you with a cheerful Santa, a Christmas Day countdown, and the breakdown of your budget. It will give you the number of gifts purchased already, the ones left to buy, and how that stacks up to your overall budget. All that is great but the main page is just the tip of the iceberg.

Import people from your contacts to seamlessly make your Christmas list, contact photos and all. This can make it easy to organize everyone you need to buy presents for like family, friends, and coworkers. Through contacts, you can put in budgets by person, keep track of gift ideas, the gift's prices, stocking stuffers, and the person's wishlist.

If you're not sure what you're getting someone then keep track of ideas on the app to come back to later! If two or more people are sharing a gift, then no problem! You can add multiple recipients to anything. Going person by person means that you can organize properly without leaving anyone out, getting too many or too few presents, and can stay on budget.

You've done the organizing and you know what you are getting everyone. Santa's Bag organizes each gift through the labels 'idea', 'need to buy', 'purchased', 'wrapped', and 'given'. That makes it easy to track each gift through the entire process.

Now comes the trip to the store, yikes. Nothing is worse than walking out with your bags to realize you forgot something! With Santa's Bag, you can go to the side menu and get your Quick Lists. Shop strategically by using either the total shopping list or go under favorites to see your list store by store!

Everything is pretty much bought online these days so don't worry, there's an online gift tracker as well. It seems like every year there is something that comes either too early or too late in the mail and can be forgotten, make sure nothing escapes your notice! Once you label a gift as online it will give you the new options of 'ordered' and 'received'.
