Abstract

A system and method for giving a physical gift such as a coffee cup, item of clothing or jewelry to another with an associated website that contains information about the gift. A gift item has a unique identification stamped or permanently printed on it. Each gift item can also have the URL of a webpage as well. Upon gifting the item, extra data such as wishes, photos and the like may be logically attached to the particular physical gift through the website. Any owner of the gift, past, current or future will be able to access all of the information concerning that particular gift. The invention encourages recipients to contribute their own pictures and commentary thereby facilitating communications back to the gift giver like a chain letter that provides feedback to the original letter writer inducing them and new recipients to continue to participate in the gift giving cycle.
