Believe it or not the holidays are just around the corner. It seems like they are far away but before you know it, things will start kicking into high gear and that’s also when the stress begins. We have some great news, however because Macspots has just released a new iPad app that will help reduce that holiday stress.
Gifts HD is a new iPad app that helps you with all your gift tracking, budgeting, and comparison shopping. It is the ultimate app to help relieve holiday stress. Gifts HD was designed to look like a beautiful wooden desk with all of the tools you need to build your shopping list, keep track of who you bought for, and manage your budget.
But this incredible app does more that just manage your holiday lists and budgets. It also allows you to select a gift item and comparison shop! Simply tap on a gift item you have on your shopping list and Gifts HD will launch a browser so you can see how much your item is and where to get it. This adds the perfect touch to an already useful iPad holiday gift tracking app.
Wanna use it with the whole family? No problem. Gifts HD can be used by everyone and password protected so no one sees the others’ gift lists. There is also a great tutorial built right into the app to show you how to use it. Here are 10 features you get with Gifts HD:

- Just tap on the to-do list in the browser and it will go out and search Google Products for the best prices
- Email the Summary and to-do list off to your phone so you can see what you need to purchase and for who on the go
Check out Gifts HD and start getting your holiday gift lists ready. It’s better to be prepared early. We used this app extensively and added about 20 people on our “list” with multiple gift items and budgets for each person. The app performed very well with all the right calculations and it even marked off the names once we had “purchased” all of the gifts for a particular person. Our favorite part of this app was the browser. It was great to tap an item have it shows us where we could buy it and for how much. It’s like virtual window shopping.











This is such a fantastic app, I have it myself. It gave me a great idea of who I still need to get gifts for. I already got a gift card for my co-worker from MetroFlats.com. Still have a lot more to go, though!
Roseline – Hi there. Thank you so much for the comment….it is definitely a really neat app that takes a leap forward with the shopping component!
