It seems unthinkable that someone would skip Black Friday sales and other important shopping deals over the last few months.

Well, it's been a peculiar year. It might have been hard for us to plan ahead or even consider buying gifts this season.

But you are now in the spot where you can buy friends and family some budget-friendly presents to remind them that you love and care for them.

Let's face it though shopping for others is both a rewarding but extremely stressful experience.

Gift-buying for Christmas is like an Olympic sport. One needs to consider what appropriate present they should give each person. There are budget considerations, remembering what you gave last time, and tracking everything making sure you don't forget anyone.

These apps are easy to use, especially for those under budget and time-challenged.

Christmas Gift List

Perhaps one of the best apps for gift management, Christmas Gift List helps you manage your gift-giving. You can add people, their wishlist, the budget you've set for each person, and more.

You can also create a tracker that reminds you which gifts have already been bought, wrapped and given.

And on January 1, the list is automatically archived. For future Christmases, you can simply check what you've already given them.

Giftster

Here's one app that's quite helpful this quarantine. Giftster is a registry app. It allows you to create a wishlist. If you aren't physically meeting with friends, it can also arrange a Secret Santa.

For those who are juggling different groups of friends and families, this app helps you mark gifts so you don't end up purchasing the same things.

Santa's Bag

This app allows you to connect to merchants which is really making it easier for those on a budget. You get a real-time idea of how much you are spending.

You can also store ideas and add them under corresponding names. And if you are buying for your household, this app has a passcode too!

My Gift List

If you are keeping gift-giving a social experience this year, even if it's online, this is the app for you.

You can suggest gifts for your friends and view the list your friends made. You can also hint on items you'd be happy to receive this year.

Don't beat yourself up and stressing yourself out on holiday shopping. Make it the rewarding experience it truly is with these little helpers. Have a safe and happy holiday!
