Gifting resources and books, videos, etc.
Just an idea for Logos developers to consider: an ability to save books to an online user created “gift list” (a type of list for gifts, separate from saved for later or our personal wish lists) that could be shared with friends, family, church members, etc. but discoverable only via a private shared link.
When someone purchases from this list as a gift, it could then tag the resource with the name of the gift-giver and a small personalized message. These fields could remain as a saved tag with the resource and viewable on the information page about the resource unless the book is later transferred to someone else. This way, years later, when citing or looking at the digital resource, the user remembers who gifted it similar to writing a personal note in the insert of a regular print book.
Perhaps something similar exists but whatever the process it needs to be completely online, available 24/7, and without involvement of human customer service reps. I am convinced making it easier for others to purchase on behalf of the logos user will increase your sales. Think of how easy it could be for a pastor to share a link to a long desired commentary with those desiring to make a gift purchase. I’d think the development of this feature would eventually pay for itself. 
Respectfully,
John

Admins: feel free to move this post to the suggestions category. I accidentally posted this in “general” but couldn’t figure out how to move it myself without posting a duplicate post. Thank you!

Some years ago, it was possible to have public wishlists on Logos.com, and if you had a link to someone else's wishlist, you could buy that person the resource.
Now there are gift cards available.
