Keep your Christmas gift list on a printable sheet. List each person, your gift idea, what you planned to spend and what you actually spent, then tick Bought, Received and Wrapped as you go. Print it or save it as a PDF. The sheet has no dates, so it also works for birthdays, Secret Santa or any gift-giving season.
| Column | Use it for |
|---|---|
| Recipient | Who the gift is for |
| Gift idea | One idea per row; use a second row for a backup |
| Planned | Your budget for that gift, in any currency |
| Spent | What you actually paid |
| Bought · Received · Wrapped | Tick each step, so online orders are not forgotten |
Portrait gives you twelve taller rows and three lines for notes. Landscape has fifteen wider rows and one notes line. Choose a font in Settings: Standard, Atkinson Hyperlegible Next or Lexend.
Write the occasion beside the title and add one recipient per row. Planned is your budget for that gift; Spent is what you actually paid. Check Bought after purchasing, Received when it arrives and Wrapped when it's ready to give. Fill in the rows and tick the boxes by hand on the printed sheet.
Write amounts in your usual currency. If you use more than one, add the currency beside each amount to keep them clear. Use Notes for sizes or a reminder to keep the receipt.
For shopping deadlines or delivery dates, use a calendar grid or a weekly planner alongside your gift list.
Mark shopping and delivery dates on the December 2026 calendar.
A spreadsheet adds up the totals for you. A printed list stays on the fridge or in your bag, and shows at a glance who still has no gift. Use whichever you will actually look at in December.
The layout is sized for A4 (210 × 297 mm). To print on US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), choose Letter and use your browser's fit-to-page option if available. The list scales down to fit, with extra space around it. Check the orientation and page count in the preview before printing. Available print options depend on your browser and device.
