1. A computer-implemented method for creating a gift registry web page comprising:
- providing a registry building graphical user interface (“
GUI”
) to a registrant;
setting a registry type associated with an event;
setting a number of guests invited to the event;
calculating, by a processor using an algorithm, a recommended number of gifts based in part upon the number of guests and the registry type, wherein the recommended number of gifts is distributed between at least a first gift count recommendation associated with a first price range and a second gift count recommendation associated with a second price range;
transmitting for display within the registry building GUI, for each price range, a corresponding gift count recommendation, a corresponding price range, and one of a corresponding currently registered tally and a corresponding remaining count tally; and
interactively building, by the processor, a gift registry through the steps of (a) receiving user selection of a selected item having an item price, (b) determining the corresponding price range for the item price, (c) adjusting the corresponding currently registered tally or the corresponding remaining count tally, (d) comparing the corresponding currently registered tally or the corresponding remaining count tally to the corresponding gift count recommendation, and (e) repeating steps (a) through (d).

Abstract
In one embodiment, a graphical user interface presents a gift registry having a number of registered products available to purchase through a retailer. The graphical user interface may present a view of information regarding registered products including an image, a description, and a price associated with each registered product. A recommended product may be presented in relation to a registered product, the recommended product selected as being complementary to the registered product. The recommended product information presented may include a product image, a product description and a product selection control.

8. A computer-implemented method for creating a gift registry web page comprising:
-
a processor displaying a registry building GUI to a registrant via a computer network;
the processor setting a registry type associated with an event based on user input;the processor setting a number of guests associated with the event based on one of a user input and a default number according to the registry type; the processor, using an algorithm, calculating a recommended number of gifts based in part upon the number of guests and the registry type, wherein the recommended number of gifts is distributed between at least a first gift count recommendation associated with a first price range and a second gift count recommendation associated with a second price range; the processor determining and displaying, for each price range, a corresponding gift count recommendation, a corresponding price range, and at least one of a corresponding currently registered tally and a corresponding remaining count tally; and the processor interactively building the gift registry through the steps of (a) receiving via the computer network user selection of a selected item having an item price, (b) the processor determining the corresponding price range for the item price and adjusting the at least one of the corresponding currently registered tally or the corresponding remaining count tally, (c) the processor comparing the corresponding currently registered tally or the corresponding remaining count tally to the corresponding gift count recommendation, and (d) repeating steps (a) through (c). - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for creating a gift registry via a server computer including a programmable processor executing a program of instructions stored on a computer memory, the server interacting with client computers via a computer network, the method comprising:
-
a processor setting a number of guests associated with an event based on one of a user input and a default number according to registry type; the processor, using an algorithm, calculating a recommended number of gifts based in part upon the number of guests and the registry type, wherein the recommended number of gifts is distributed between at least a first gift count recommendation associated with a first price range and a second gift count recommendation associated with a second price range; the processor determining and displaying, for each price range, a corresponding gift count recommendation, a corresponding price range, and at least one of a corresponding currently registered tally and a corresponding remaining count tally; and interactively building the gift registry through the steps of (a) receiving via the computer network user selection of a selected item having an item price, (b) the processor determining the corresponding price range for the item price and adjusting the at least one of the corresponding currently registered tally or the corresponding remaining count tally, (c) the processor comparing the corresponding currently registered tally or the corresponding remaining count tally to the corresponding gift count recommendation, and (d) the processor identifying recommended products that are related to the selected item. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
