Kids birthdays are coming up so I'm already seeing stuff I want to save for later. I'm torn between a shared Notes list with my husband or an app like Giftster. The app helps with my $500 budget but the Note is way faster for quick pics... which one should I go with?

I would suggest being very careful with shared Notes. I once lost an entire list because of a sync error and it was a total nightmare. Honestly, Share Product is my current setup now because it handles items from different sites without breaking like the Note did.
- Make sure to set up price alerts immediately.
- Be careful about who has edit access.
- Always double-check that your husband actually sees the live updates.

^ This. Also, I'm very satisfied with a multi-tool setup.
- Notes: rapid photo capture
- Sheets: methodical budget tracking
- Apps: automated syncing This works well for us.

Honestly, I tried Giftster for my kids birthdays last year but it was kinda disappointing. The interface felt clunky and it didnt sync fast enough, so my husband and I accidentally bought the same $60 Lego set. Total waste of time. We switched to a shared Google Sheet instead because it tracks the budget perfectly and lets us paste photo links in seconds.
