The story
Some gift ideas are perfect for a person — and familiar for a reason. Gemma’s birthday is tomorrow, and another pair of socks feels exactly like her. Before buying, a quick look at her gift history changes the decision: socks were last birthday’s gift.
The useful part of gift history is not only remembering what happened afterwards. It can help in the moment, when a repeat might be intentional or might simply be easy to forget.
With the previous gift still saved with Gemma, the next idea can stay true to her taste without accidentally becoming the same present twice. The story moves from memory back to noticing: something else, still very Gemma.

- Then you check what you gave her last time.
- A quick look at Gemma’s gift history.
