The application also enables you to keep track of everything gift-related thanks to a calendar and a synthetic dashboard view, informing you at any time of upcoming birthdays and current gifts (whether they are simply planned or already bought but not yet offered).

How can I add a new gift recipient?
Hit the “+” button on the Persons tab. Choose whether you want to fully create it or simply import it from your directory. You can then enter all the information related to this person or company.
You can also define an annual spending limit for this person there, should you want to monitor the evolution of your budget along the year.
How can I create a new gift?
Hit the “+” button on the Scheduled Gifts tab. Set the date you will offer it on, and select the recipient from the application directory or create one from directly from there with the “+” button.
Should you need to, you can also specify a comment (shop suggestion, requests, etc.) and a spending limit (used to calculate the projected budget).
What is the life cycle of a gift in Gift List Pro?
When you create a gift, its status is “Scheduled”, which means you still have to buy it.
You can then use the “Gift bought” button to indicate you own it (whether you actually bought it or obtained it by any other mean), and specify the amount you paid for so you can monitor your budget. The gift status is then “Bought”.
Once you offer it, don’t forget to hit the “Gift offered” button to signal you actually offered it, modify the gift status to “Offered” and remove the gift from the main Scheduled Gifts list.
Saving and transferring data to another device:
How can I save the application data?
Application data backup is a built-in feature of your iPhone-iPad and iTunes, as long as you regularly synchronize your device with iTunes on your PC or Mac.
At the beginning of the syncing process, iTunes saves the following data from your device:
Contacts and Contact favorites
App Store Application data
Application settings, preferences and data
Music, videos, photos, etc.
When you change your device, or even with your current device, you are able to restore that backup with iTunes. You will thus be able to retrieve all the data and content saved during the last syncing.
For more information about backup saving and restoring, please visit:

You can also use the “iTunes Database export” feature (see below) to run an individual backup of your application data. Be careful to properly save the “Database_Export.db” file on your PC or Mac.
