Gift and Birthday Tracker Spreadsheet | Gift Planner and Christmas List Organizer for Google Sheets & Excel | Instant Download

Never miss a birthday again — and always have the perfect gift planned, budgeted, and ready. The Lizara Gift & Birthday Tracker brings every birthday, anniversary, and occasion into one calm spreadsheet, then keeps your whole year of gift-giving organized: who to buy for, what to give, how much you've spent, and what's coming up next. No more last-minute panic-buys or forgotten birthdays.

Everything calculates itself. You only ever type a name, a date, an amount, or pick a status — the days-until-next-occurrence countdowns (which roll over to next year on their own), your gift budget vs spent vs remaining, the gift-by-status counts, and the whole Dashboard all update automatically. It works in both Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets.

★ WHAT'S INSIDE
• Dashboard — what's coming up in the next 30 and 60 days, your total gift budget vs spent vs remaining, how many gifts are an idea / bought / wrapped / given, and how many gifts you still need to buy, all pulled in automatically
• Birthday & Occasion Calendar — everyone's birthdays, anniversaries, and occasions, with an automatic countdown to the next time each one comes around (it handles the year rollover for you)
• Gift Planner — plan and track every gift from idea to given: recipient, occasion, gift idea, budget, what you actually spent, status, store or link, and notes
• Gift Budget — your gift spending per person, with budgeted, spent, and remaining adding up by themselves
• Holiday Gift List — a dedicated Christmas / holiday list with a running total and what's left in your holiday budget
• Gift Ideas Bank — a year-round catch-all for gift ideas, so you're never stuck for what to give
• Wish Lists — keep your own and your family's wish lists in one spot, with links, prices, and priority
• A "Start Here" guide built right into the file

★ WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
• Never miss a birthday or anniversary — the calendar counts down to every special day automatically
• Stay on budget — see exactly what you've set aside and spent on each person and each occasion
• Keep the holidays merry, not stressful — a dedicated Christmas list with its own running total
• Capture gift ideas the moment they strike, so you always have the perfect present in mind
• Pre-filled with realistic example data so it makes sense the moment you open it

★ PERFECT IF YOU

• Like a calm, organized way to give thoughtful gifts without a complicated app

★ HOW IT WORKS
1. Start on the Birthday & Occasion Calendar — add everyone's special dates, and the countdown to the next occurrence fills in by itself
2. Plan gifts on the Gift Planner — pick a recipient and occasion, set a budget, and set the status (Idea, Bought, Wrapped, or Given) as you go
3. Capture stray ideas in the Gift Ideas Bank and keep wish lists on the Wish Lists tab so inspiration is always at hand
4. Glance at the Dashboard any time to see what's coming up, how much you've spent, and what you still need to buy

★ HOW THIS WAS MADE
Every Lizara template is built using AI-assisted authoring with Anthropic's Claude, then formula-verified, hand-curated, and brand-finished by our family before publishing. We share this openly in the spirit of Etsy's seller policy on AI-assisted listings. The result is the same quality you'd expect from a careful designer — produced more efficiently so we can keep prices accessible for families.

For personal use only. Please don't resell, share, or redistribute the file or its design.
