It is December 22 and you suddenly remember Aunt Linda. You open your phone, scan a single Notion gift tracker page, and see exactly what you still need to buy, what is already wrapped, and which thank-you notes are overdue from last Christmas. That is the whole point of this notion gift planner template: every gift you owe and every gift you have received, side by side, with the deadlines attached.
The Home Page links straight to two databases, Gifts to Give and Gifts Received, so you stop hunting through notes apps and group chats. Each gift you plan on giving captures the Recipient, Occasion, Date, Status, and an Action Status that quietly counts down the weeks until the event (handy when birthdays sneak up).
Here is where the notion gift tracker gets interesting. The Gifts to Give database ships with four linked views of the same data, so one entry shows up everywhere it needs to. The Status Board is a Kanban with Need to Buy, Purchased, Wrapped, and Given columns (drag a card and the underlying property updates automatically), while the Calendar view plots every gift onto its delivery date so you can see crunch weeks before they arrive. A separate Shopping List view filters down to just the items you still need to buy, which is the page you actually want open at the mall.
The Gifts Received side mirrors that thinking with a focused Pending Thank You view that filters to gifts where Thank You? is still No. You log the Gift Giver, Occasion, Date Received, and a Thank You Status that tracks how long it has been since the gift arrived (so “less than two weeks” does not quietly become “over two weeks” without you noticing). For wedding guests, baby showers, and Secret Santa swaps, this is the difference between a sincere note and an apology in February.
Because it is Notion, the whole tracker syncs across laptop, tablet, and phone the moment you save a change, and you only need a free Notion account to duplicate the template into your workspace. As a bonus, this listing also includes the Excel and Google Sheets versions of the same Gift Tracker, so you can pick the tool that fits the way you already work and switch later without losing the structure.
