<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">In the past I set up a page on my web site for y'all to visit and got to see my birthday gift selection list for that year and, once there, you would then choose a gift, buy it and then send it to me.

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size: small;">It couldn't be simpler. You see the item, you click on "add to cart". Then, the next person will see that item showing as "already been given" and can move on and select a different gift.
