Making a list …
TUAW recently reviewed Nice List from Polar Bear Farm as a solution to keeping track of your holiday gift list. The application keeps track of whether you’ve purchased your gift, wrapped, and mailed it. It’s not the only holiday-related task manager out there. Christmas List from Better Day Wireless, shown at right, boasts similar features to Nice List, but goes in-depth in a few areas, such as making notes on the gifts that you’ve purchased. The application also boasts festive graphics throughout, which adds a nice touch to a standard task manager. Both applications do a fantastic job at keeping track of the gifts that you’re giving, but Nice List is currently on sale for $.99. However, if you’re more attracted to the graphic interface of Christmas List, that might be the better application for you.

• Nice List: $.99 (normally $2.99)
• Christmas List: $2.99
