Update. This app no longer stores your information from year to year unless you have a Dropbox account. I even ended up having to pay for the full version twice.
Further more, customer service is HORRIBLE. I have had to email them about 4 different issues. Each time it required multiple emails before someone would reply. I really need to find a better app, but I really liked this ones functionality and dread shopping around trying to find something else. :-/

I love this thing. I downloaded it one year on a whim and now I try to convince everyone they need it. I am one of those people that shop for Xmas all year long. With this app I can snap a photo of what I buy, make a note of where in the basement I shoved it, and then forget about it. Sometime in December I browse through the app and see what I have and dont have. I track if every gift is wrapped and shipped. I can archive previous years purchases so I dont accidentally buy my nieces the same thing twice.
Im a very visual person, so having the pictures is extremely helpful. I never leave the house without my phone so Im never without my Xmas list. If Im under budget at the grocery store one week, I can see if I have a gift card left on my list. Before this app I had to have either memorized my list or carried it with me always.
These things help me not spend too much all at once and I almost never charge gifts anymore. I also love seeing how I am saving money by tracking my budget. Buying all year saves me so much and ensures the kids have a magical holiday. Without this app I was always buying too much, not buying enough, or accidentally buying the same thing twice.
In short: you need this app.
