How to use the Christmas Gifts Planner in Notion

Gift ideas for friends and family, budget and spending, shopping progress from idea to delivery, wrapping status and deadlines, and shopping links and notes.

Open any gift, click the Recipient property, and at the bottom of the dropdown click Edit property. Replace the sample names with your real recipients, and add, edit or delete options as needed. Adding the relationship, like "John (Dad)", keeps things organized.

The template includes 10 sample gift ideas. Go to the All Gifts view, select all the sample entries using the checkbox on the left, and delete them with the Delete key or by right-clicking and choosing Delete.

💡 Idea (brainstorming), 🛒 To Buy (ready to purchase), ✅ Purchased (bought and waiting), 🎁 Wrapped (wrapped and ready), and 🎉 Delivered.

All Gifts is a table of everything. By Status is a board grouped by stage. By Recipient is a board grouped by person, handy for checking the budget per person. There is also a Gallery view for a visual overview.

Enter an amount in the Budget property, which formats as currency. Use filters to see gifts within a price range, or sort by budget to find your most expensive gifts. The By Recipient board helps you check spending per person.
