ABSTRACT:
A system for purchasing geographically distinctive items comprising an Internet accessible database and a plurality of sub-databases. A buyer's terminal is coupled to a system server via a communications network, which also provides communication between the system server and vendors, manufacturers or importers. Each sub-database includes content elements for gift items and related information organized in accordance with both a ‘source’ geographic location and a ‘destination’ geographic location. There is a separate Source/Destination sub-database for each corresponding pair of Source and Destination Geographic Shopping Coordinates. After a buyer initiates a Geographic Shopping session, the system determines the buyer's Geographic Shopping Coordinates. The system then locates and displays content from the corresponding Source/Destination sub-database. If the buyer proceeds to make a purchase, the system sends the orders to the appropriate vendors, importers and manufacturers assigned to the shipping locality of the Destination Coordinate.
