Optimize Gift Tracking: integrated tools and best practices
A good Wish List isn’t limited to adding items; it must live until the gift is handed over. Here’s how.
- 🔄 Automatic update of e-shop availability via API: alerts sent when a toy is “out of stock”.
- 💡 Email reminders 7 days before the event to encourage hesitant ones.
- 🗃️ Post-event PDF archiving: keep track of video messages and photos; useful for a souvenir album.
| Tool | Key function 🔧 | Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Real-time dashboard | Reservations + statistics 📈 | Visualize remaining items at a glance |
| CSV Export | Accounting synchronization 💼 | Ideal for associations or collective funds |
| History | Unlimited archives 🗄️ | Compare lists year after year |
Tracking fits perfectly with the “perfect gift” method detailed here: find the ideal idea. For the holidays, also add references to the Christmas 2025 guide.
