Kids Christmas Wish List Template, Santa Gift Tracker for Parents

Keep every child's Christmas wish list in one tidy spreadsheet: what they asked for, which gifts come from Santa and which from you or the grandparents, and what's bought, hidden and wrapped.

NEW FOR CHRISTMAS: Twelve Little Joys and Little Lights are 12-day Christmas countdown apps for the whole family, one small ritual or kids' adventure a day. Get both together: https://www.etsy.com/listing/4602474407/christmas-countdown-app-bundle-family

WHAT YOU GET
• Kids tab for up to 20 children, with age, clothing and shoe sizes, favorite things and a target number of gifts and budget for each
• Wish List with 300 rows: the wish in their words, priority (Top wish, Really want, Nice to have), category, who gives it, cost, where to buy, status and hiding spot
• A Check column on every wish that says what's next: Pick who gives it, Buy it, On its way, Hide it, Wrap it or Ready
• Per-child totals that fill in on their own: gifts from Santa, parents and family, your spend against budget, all bought and all wrapped
• Fair share check for brothers and sisters: children in the same group are compared for number of gifts, gifts from Santa and spend
• Printable Letter to Santa for any child, listing their wishes by priority and never showing who is giving what
• Christmas Eve checklist with every Santa gift, where it's hidden and whether it's ready, plus Santa's to-do list for the night
• Dashboard with progress bars, what needs attention, who gives what and every child at a glance
• Idea Bank with 85 gift ideas by age, from toddlers to teens, with typical costs

HOW IT WORKS
1. Type your usual number of gifts and budget per child on Settings.
2. Add each child on Kids, then list their wishes on Wish List.
3. Pick who gives each gift and move it along as you shop, hide and wrap.
