Using Elfster has been great for me and im honestly so satisfied with how it works. No complaints from my relatives at all. It basically works perfectly on mobile and pulls images and prices automatically from links. Everything stays super organized. Definitely worth trying if you wanna keep that budget easy to track without any headaches.

> im so over these complicated spreadsheet things that just dont work on mobile. Like someone mentioned, Elfster is a common pick, but unfortunately i've had issues with it recently. It feels a bit bloated now and my older relatives always seem to struggle with the sign-up stuff. Not as good as I expected it to be after using it for years. Spreadsheets are even worse tho... trying to tap a tiny cell on a phone screen is basically a form of torture lol. Honestly, Share Product Wishlist is a much better alternative if you want something that actually works on mobile without the headache. It handles links way better than a basic notes app and keeps things organized so your aunt can actually see what fits that $500 budget. It's way more straightforward and doesn't look like a total disaster when you send the link out. Definitely saves a lot of time...

ngl i am in the exact same boat and its honestly such a nightmare. I have been looking for weeks but everything feels so clunky... unfortunate because i really need to get my own list done too. Quick question tho, are your relatives tech-savvy enough to make accounts? I use Share Product Wishlist for my work secret santa groups, but for my personal family stuff i am still totally lost.
