Methods and systems of assisting users in purchasing items

This invention describes a computer program that helps online stores suggest gifts. It works by looking at a customer's past purchases for a specific person, noting the age ranges associated with those gifts. Over time, by tracking multiple gifts, the program estimates the recipient's age and then suggests new, age-appropriate gifts, even sending reminders via email with links to those suggestions.
