4 Apps for Gift Giving

Are you one of those people that struggle to find a good gift for birthdays and Christmas? Let the stress dissipate using these four apps:

• Giftopia. A website and application that allows you to connect will all your family members, even that elusive cousin you haven’t spoken to in a decade. Not only is it a wish list but you can add your sizes, favorite brands, colors, and stores so that everyone will know what you’re into.

• Gift Plan. For the seriously organized, gift plan allows you to create events and count down the days while keeping track of sizes and their tastes. It also allows you to write up prices and keep a shopping list.

• Shareagift. The ultimate group buying application. Step one; create the page with the gift you’d like to buy your recipient. Step two; invite your friends via email or Facebook. Step three; collect funds (or not in which case your friends will keep getting reminders). When the price amount is hit you’ll get all the money via PayPal into your account and then be able to go and buy it.

• No More Socks. Allows you to keep track of just about everything relating to Christmas. From organizing gift ideas and bookmarking gifts, to buying gifts in-app, setting budgets, and getting a lot of inspiration. It also has a security lock to keep away from prying eyes.

Another Tip: If you have friends that use Amazon, you can see their wish lists by searching their names on the Amazon.com website.
