## Abstract

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable storage devices for receiving, from a giver, identification of a recipient and identification of a product associated with the recipient.

The system can associate the offering with a recipient device, and, upon receiving a selection from the recipient of a selected product in the offering via the recipient device, process purchase and delivery of the selected product based on the payment account of the giver and address delivery information included in the giver payment and delivery account for the recipient.
