GiftManager
Web app to organize and track gift ideas for families
GiftManager is a web application for managing gift ideas within families and small groups. It lets users save, organize, and mark gifts as purchased while keeping surprises secret. The project includes an admin dashboard, built-in user management, and support for secure login.
Key Features
- Add and edit gift ideas with descriptions, links, and prices
- Mark gifts as bought to avoid duplicate purchases and keep track of given items
- Organize and sort ideas; manage multiple family groups separately
- Secret Santa support and family-level coordination features
- Email notifications for updates and events (requires email provider configuration)
- Admin dashboard with user and family management
- Secure login via OpenID Connect / OIDC-compatible providers
- Dark mode UI and Docker-friendly packaging for deployment
Use Cases
- Maintain shared gift wishlists for family members and close friends
- Coordinate Secret Santa or group gifting to prevent duplicate purchases
- Track giving history and planned purchases across multiple family groups
Limitations and Considerations
- Email notifications require SMTP or an external email provider to be configured
- No official native mobile app; primary interface is web-based
- Focused on small-group/family usage rather than large-scale enterprise inventory
GiftManager is a practical, privacy-focused tool for organizing gift ideas and coordinating group gifting. It suits families and small groups that need a simple shared wishlist with admin controls and secure authentication.
