Holiday Gift Planner | Christmas Gift List, Budget Tracker & Shipping Dashboard | Google Sheets

No forgotten gifts, no budget blowouts, no missed mail-by dates. This Holiday Gift Planner keeps every gift, every dollar, and every deadline in one calm Google Sheet — from the first idea to the last package shipped.

Type in the white cells; the green cells do the math.

Transparency note: this spreadsheet was designed with AI assistance, then hand-built and formula-tested by our shop.

WHAT'S INSIDE — a Google Sheets spreadsheet (instant "Make a copy" link) with 6 tabs:

- Start Here — setup guide that gets you going in 3 steps

- Dashboard — the whole season at a glance: gift budget vs spent, gifts bought and wrapped, other holiday spend, shipments sent and overdue

- Gift List — 50 gifts: recipient, group, gift idea, budget, actual cost, bought and wrapped check-offs

- Budget Tracker — 20 recipients with automatic per-person totals: budget, spent, remaining, gift count

- Holiday Shopping — 30 rows for decor, food, cards, wrap, travel, and everything else

- Shipping — 20 shipments with mail-by dates, shipped flags, and tracking numbers

Includes marked EXAMPLE rows so you can see how it works — delete them when ready.

REQUIREMENTS: a free Google account. Click the link in your download PDF, hit "Make a copy," and the spreadsheet is yours — no Excel needed, works on any device.

HOW IT WORKS: List everyone you're buying for on Gift List, set budgets on Budget Tracker, log the extras on Holiday Shopping, and keep every package on time with Shipping.
