Keep on Giftin'

Description:

An application that reminds the user of certain dates to send friends and family gifts/cards.

The user will create profiles for each family member or friend. Profile includes:

Date of Birth
Relationship to user
Annual holidays the person celebrates
Custom holidays for one-time events (graduations, weddings, etc.) that they are celebrating
Home address to send gifts/cards to

Then the app will produce a calendar with reminders of specific dates a few days before to remind to send a gift. Once the annual event has passed, date will reset to next year. One-time events will disappear.
