1. A computer-implemented data processing system comprising:
- a memory that stores gift conversion rules; and
a processor in communication with the memory that;
generates a user interface configured to permit a gift sender to order a product as a gift for a gift recipient via a network service; and
executes gift conversion logic that permits the gift recipient to specify the gift conversion rules, wherein the gift conversion rules specified by the gift recipient define a manner in which gifts purchased for the gift recipient may be automatically converted, wherein at least one gift conversion rule identifies the gift sender who has ordered a product as a gift for the gift recipient, such that whether the gift is converted is determined based at least in part on the identity of the gift sender specified in the at least one gift conversion rule.

Abstract
A computer-implemented data processing system comprises a user interface and gift conversion logic. The user interface is configured to permit users to order products using a network service, such as a website. The gift conversion logic is in communication with the user interface and permits the users to specify gift conversion rules. For each user that specifies gift conversion rules, the gift conversion rules define a manner in which gifts purchased for the user by other users may be converted.

44. In a non-transitory computer readable medium associated with a computing system, a graphical user interface generated on the computing system by the contents of the non-transitory computer readable medium, the graphical user interface comprising:
a plurality of displays caused to be displayed by the computing system that receive information from a gift recipient to configure gift conversion rules, the gift, conversion rules defining a manner in which a gift selected for the recipient by a gift sender using a network commerce service may be automatically converted, wherein at least one of the gift conversion rules identifies potential gift senders, such that whether a gift selected by a gift sender for the gift recipient using a network commerce service is automatically converted is determined based at least in part on whether the gift sender is one of the potential gift senders identified in the at least one gift conversion rule. - View Dependent Claims (45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)

56. A computer-implemented method comprising:
under control of one or more configured computer systems, receiving a gift purchase from a gift sender, the gift sender being a user of a network commerce service, the gift purchase being a purchase of a gift for a gift recipient; accessing gift conversion rules, the gift conversion rules having been configured for the gift recipient, at least one of the gift conversion rules identifying potential gift senders; and determining that the gift should be automatically converted when the gift sender from whom the gift purchase is received is one of the potential gift senders identified in the at least one gift conversion rule. - View Dependent Claims (57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72)
