Holiday & Christmas Gift Budget Planner — Google Sheets & Excel

Plan every gift before the holiday rush and still have money left in January. List the people you're buying for, give each one a budget, and this planner shows what you've spent, what's left, which gifts are bought or wrapped, and how many days are left until Christmas. Works in Google Sheets and Excel with no formulas to touch.
