ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for providing a gift registry are described. In one described method, gift interest data is identified. A gift registry comprising a gift indicator associated with the gift interest data is generated. An audience criterion is identified, and an inquiry signal is received. The inquiry signal is evaluated for satisfaction of the audience criterion, and the gift registry is output if the inquiry signal satisfies the audience criterion.
