- Dashboard: total budget, spent so far, left to spend, a days-to-Christmas countdown, spending by category with progress bars, and gift progress at a glance
- Budget tab: split your total across 12 categories (gifts, food, decorations, travel, cards and postage, and more). Over-budget lines turn red
- People tab: a budget for each person, what you've spent on them, and how many gifts are still to buy
- Gift tracker: 150 rows. Move each gift from Idea to Ordered, Bought, Wrapped and Given, and compare planned vs. actual price
- Expenses log: 200 rows for everything that isn't a gift. It totals into your budget automatically
