Christmas planning kanban board template

Christmas is a project with a hard deadline and two project managers. A shared board splits the load you can both see — gifts, food, travel, cards — before December turns it into a sprint one of you runs alone.

How to use this template

Start in October (yes, really). One card per gift with budget in the notes; move cards right as they're bought and wrapped. Keep a separate December to-dos column for the non-gift machine: food orders, travel, the tree. Planning gifts for each other? Keep those on your own private board — boards are only shared when you choose.

Built for a duo? See Simpleban for couples. Every board syncs live between two people, works offline, and supports handing cards to each other.

Questions, answered

When should we start the Christmas board?
October. The board's whole value is spreading a December sprint across three calm months — and gift ideas captured in October are better than gift panic in December.
Can my partner see what I'm getting them?
Only if you put it on the shared board. Keep gifts for each other on your own unshared board — you choose per board who sees what.
