Abstract
A media guidance application that creates a profile for a second user based on publically or privately available information about the second user. For example, the media guidance application may query the first user for information on the likes and/or dislikes of the second user. The media guidance application may use this information to create a user profile. The media guidance application may then supplement the user profile with other information that is publically or privately available. The supplemented profile may then be used to provide gift recommendations.
