How do you manage Christmas gift-giving on an Android?

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year; we know because Johnny Mathis has been reminding us since October. A particularly special aspect of this season is the mad rush to find a decent Christmas present for all of them. This year, I discovered an Android app that is actually quite helpful. The app, called Gift Buddy, helps you keep track of who you've already purchased presents for and who's left... but that's nothing special; tons of apps do that. The aspect of this app that I found interesting is its gift suggestions.


From the Google Play Store description of the app: "Your trusted partner for gift recommendations! Results powered by gifts.com. Gift buddy is a gift recommendations application offering recommendations on various dimensions - recipient type, personality type, occasions, by product category. Users can mix and match search criteria for targeted recommendations." 

I hope this suggestion will ease your Christmas stress a tad. Click here to download the app from the Google Play Store.

Oh, and don't get me wrong; joking aside, Christmas is a special time of year for me... beyond the festive atmosphere and the wonderful time with family and friends, it is a reminder of Jesus' astounding sacrifice in becoming human so He could take our punishment and provide a way to Heaven.

"Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities: upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with His stripes we are healed." Isaiah 53: 4-5 (ESV)
