A Christmas gift tracker and holiday budget spreadsheet that tells you what to do next.

Most gift trackers are a list. This one watches your deadlines and your money. Type each store's shipping days and it works out the last day to order, then warns you before it's too late. It also tells you how much to set aside from each paycheck to stay on budget.

★ WHAT IT DOES
• Order-by dates: for every online gift, enter the store's shipping days. The tracker works back from your event date and flags it: amber when you need to order within 3 days, red when the date has passed
• Paycheck savings plan: from your total budget, what you've spent and the paydays left (weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly), it shows "Set aside $X per paycheck"
• No repeat gifts: a "last year's gift" column for every person plus a Past Gifts history. Repeats are flagged ("Gave in 2024", "Same as last year")
• Who's buying: assign each gift to a buyer (Mom, Dad, Grandma...) with a total per buyer, and the same gift listed twice for one person is flagged so nobody double-buys
• This Week's Shopping List (printable): everything still to buy, soonest deadline first. Pick a buyer to print just their list
• Budget per person: planned, spent, remaining and a status (On track / Ideas over budget / Over budget / All given)
• Gift status from Idea to Ordered, Arrived, Wrapped and Given, plus return-by date warnings
• Dashboard (prints on one page): budget, spent, committed and left, what to do next, spending by group and by buyer
• Stocking stuffers and holiday card list, with totals that count toward your budget
• Printable gift list for any person
• Up to 60 people, 400 gifts, 100 stocking stuffers and 150 cards

★ ANY OCCASION, EVERY YEAR
The event name and date are yours to set: Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid, a birthday or next Christmas. When the season is over, carry this year's gifts into your history so next year's ideas are checked too.

★ WHAT YOU GET
• Smart tracker spreadsheet (Excel .xlsx, inside a .zip)
