Gifts, in both directions.

Gifts have meaning beyond the moment of unwrapping. Someone chose something for you, thought about what you'd like, spent time and money. That's worth remembering.

Log every gift you receive — what it was, who gave it, the occasion, and any notes. When your 30th birthday comes around, you can see exactly what everyone got you. When you're writing thank-you notes a few days later, all the details are there.

The history is also practical. Search by person, occasion, or year. Who gave you that thing you use every day? What did you receive last Christmas? What has the same person given you across multiple occasions?

Seeing what you've actually been given over time helps you build better wish lists. You notice patterns — what gets used and what doesn't, what people tend to give you, where the gaps are. That context turns a vague wish list into a precise one.

Gifts received is also where you keep the record of what's already been given, so people close to you don't repeat themselves from year to year. When someone asks what to get you, you can point them to your wish list knowing your gift history is already documented.

Nothing gets deleted. The history compounds over time — a permanent, searchable record of thoughtful moments between you and the people you care about.
