How to use recipient profiles to avoid bad gifts

Recipient profiles are your mini gift CRM. The more details you capture, the easier it becomes to dodge repeat misfires.

Stylized cards with profile avatars, tags, and gift icons arranged like a simple CRM board, representing GiftPerch recipient profiles.

Log intel right after conversations

When someone mentions a new brand or trip, open GiftPerch and add it immediately before the memory fades.

Over time you will build a searchable log of likes, dislikes, and hints so you never rely on guesswork.

Track budgets, sizes, and interests

Budgets are not just dollar signs -- they tell PerchPal how bold or safe it should go. Record min and max ranges plus annual spend so the AI respects financial comfort.

Add shoe sizes, allergies, or "never again" items. Future you (or a partner logging in) will be grateful.

Share context with collaborators

Use the self-profile link or export notes so siblings, partners, or teammates all see the same source of truth.

When everyone works from the same profile, the chances of duplicate or awkward gifts drop dramatically.
