Wondering how you'll get through all the Christmas cooking,
cleaning, shopping, and entertaining? Luckily there are lots of iPhone and
iPad apps for that. Whether you need to take your turkey (or tofu!) up a notch,
get the perfect gift for that special someone, or just survive the relatives festivities,
read on for apps, most recommended, most must-have iPhone and
iPad apps to get you through Christmas and into the New Year.
Epicurious Recipes and Shopping List (Universal)
From the famed website of the same name Epicurious brings
the best in seasonal recipes to your iPhone and iPad year round, but
they really give it their all for Christmas. Currently featured categories
include Christmas Cookies, Pies and Tarts, Christmas Dinners, Holiday Desserts,
Christmas Cocktails, Edible Gifts, Holiday Sides, and Vegetarian Holiday fare.
From full time foodies to those who only cook -- and panic about it -- this
time of year, Epicurious is our go-to app to get our Christmas cheer started in
style.
Gift Plan (iPhone)
Watching Homer Simpson race out the door, hop into the car,
and speed off to the gas station because he forgot to buy that all-important
Christmas gift may be funny to watch but it's terrifying when it happens to
you. Gift Plan makes sure it never ever does. While it works for birthdays,
anniversaries, and pretty much any special occasion, it really shines over
Christmas when everyone needs presents all at once. Just enter in who you have
to buy for, include all-important metrics like your lady's dress size or boss'
hobbies, add ideas as you get them, and then let Gift Plan do the heavy
reminder lifting. And hey, if it's too late and you missed a gift this year,
whip out Gift Plan and add it in for next year
Amazon Windowshop (iPad)
Once you know what you want to buy, you still need to buy
it. Online shopping offers tons of options from the megamarts to the mom and
pops but Amazon is the reigning king of great selection, good prices, and
fast delivery. With Amazon Windowshop, they've even made it more fun to get
your shopping done. It's a completely custom, totally optimized iPad interface
and it makes browsing for items a fast, fluid experience. All the usual product
categories are there, as are featured items, best sellers, new releases, most
wished for, and appropriately for the season -- most gifted. If you're an
Amazon Prime member, or don't mind forking over the extra cash for next or
second-day delivery, it can even rescue the last-minute shopper in you.
