Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Your PDF guide has a link that makes your own Google Sheets copy in one click, with no upload needed. It also works in Excel 2019 or later and Microsoft 365, so you can share one copy with your partner.

Is it only for gifts?

No. Gifts have their own list, and a second tab covers everything else: food and hosting, decorations, cards and postage, travel, events and charity. Both count toward one total holiday budget.

Can I use it again next year?

Yes. Save a copy, change the year, clear the costs and statuses, and keep your list of people.

Is it a download or a subscription?

A one-time download. Pay once and the files are yours to use every Christmas.
