'New' Button
You will use the 'New' button mainly to enter items that
you wish to buy or have already purchased.
Also you can input a 'Person to buy for', however this is
only needed if you want to add people to your list but have
no ideas or items already purchased.
The same goes for the Stores, you do not really need to add
these individually unless you are not using them in the individual
items that you input into your lists.
