About NiftyGifts - Christmas Present Tracker

NiftyGifts is an iPhone app which helps you keep track of the Christmas presents you've bought for people, or wish to buy.

You can set up multiple recipients, set them budgets and assign them gifts. Each gift has a name, price, status (whether you've bought it yet or not) and if you're an iPhone user it also lets you use the camera to take a photo!

The main screen shows a quick overview of your "giftees" and how much you've spent on each, giving you a running total too. The budget feature means that if you've overspent on a particular person, the total figure gets highlighted in red.

Users requiring the currency to be in dollars or euros can change this easily in the Options panel too.

The Developer

    I've been developing websites commercially since 1998, using a variety of technologies.
