Get Holiday Check

Who it is for

  • You plan the holidays for your household.
  • You get paid weekly, every two weeks, twice a month or monthly.
  • You put some holiday shopping on a card.

What it does

Season plan
Set a season total, a cap for each person, and caps for postage, food, wrap and cards, tips, travel, decorations and a cushion for forgotten items.
Paycheck funding
Enter how often you are paid and what you set aside from each paycheck. Holiday Check counts the paydays up to the holiday date and shows the gap or the surplus.
Purchases
Log a purchase with its amount and line. Before you buy, check a price against its line and the season plan.
Gift pipeline
Move each gift along: idea, bought, arrived, wrapped, ready.
Shipping cutoffs
Mark the gifts you ship. Holiday Check shows the USPS recommended send by dates. From three days before a gift's ship by date, it shows in a Ship soon list until you mark it sent.
Partner split
Split the purchases logged on one device between two partners and see who owes whom.
Surprise mode
One tap hides gift names and gift ideas behind "Surprise gift", and each person's amounts behind "Hidden".
January result per card
For each card, see whether the holiday charges are paid by the due date, or what carries past it, with an estimate of the interest and the months to clear.
