What's New


What's new in 2025?

Your Christmas List has been totally rewritten for 2025. This has been two years in the making! Some pages will look similar to the old site, but most of the pages have been completely re-designed.

Here are some of the new changes:

New Name

This year, the name of the site has been changed to Your Christmas List. The link has also been changed to https://yourchristmaslist.com. I've been waiting years for this domain name to be available and it finally happened!

User Interface

The user interface has been totally re-designed.

  • If you have any gifts that need your approval, you will see a notification.
  • Your dashboard will show you all of your groups as well as your gift list.
  • A custom avatar can be uploaded.

Multiple Parents

Multiple parents can be assigned to a single child. All parents will receive emails regarding their child. All parents can approve or reject the child's gift ideas.

Cleaner Gift Description Links

The links in the gift descriptions have been shortened to just the name of the site without all the extra text. The link itself will still open the correct page in a new window.

Better email communication

The emails have been improved to clarify what is happening.

Notifications

Important notifications are available from the sidebar menu.

Reports

Reports are available from the sidebar menu. This year, you can combine reports for multiple users.

For example:

You and your spouse mark gifts as Plan to Purchase or Purchased. When you print out a report, you will normally see only the gifts you marked. Now you can ask to combine reports for both of you.

When you combine reports, the report will show all the gifts marked by both users. Also, the report will NOT show gifts for either user. In other words, if you mark a gift as Purchased for your spouse, if you combine the report with them, it will not show up in the report. Their gifts will be excluded from the report.
