##Features
- Users can create an account, make a profile describing their preferences, and create a list of gifts they would like to receive.
- Users can share their profile and gift list with other users, allowing them to view their preferences and desired items.
- Users can invite friends and family to join the site and view their gift list.
- Users can view a list of friends who can see their gift list, and a list of friends who have allowed them to view their lists.
- Users can add, edit, or remove items from their gift list, and update their profile and preferences at any time.
- Users can restrict viewing permissions on items so that only certain friends can see them.
- Users can "claim" an item they plan to purchase. (The person who created the item cannot see that the item has been claimed.)
- Seven days after claiming a gift, users receive a reminder to purchase the gift or release their claim so that others can purchase it.
- Users can create, edit, and delete quick notes of gift ideas they think of.
- After signing in, users are directed to a dashboard showing the items they have claimed, the notes they have made, and a list of friends whose birthdays are approaching within the next three months.
- Users who still need to fill out their profile or add their birthday will see a reminder to do so at the top of the dashboard.
