Goal: To build a high-conversion, emotionally resonant e-commerce website that simplifies the gifting process and offers a "premium unboxing" feel digitally.
2. Target Audience
• Busy professionals (25-45) looking for thoughtful, high-quality gifts.
• The Indian gifting to family and near and dear one on all occasions
• Corporate clients looking for bulk, branded employee/client gifts.
3. Key Features & Functionalities

• Advanced Personalization Engine: * Text input for engravings/embroidery with real-time preview.
• High-resolution photo upload for custom frames/mugs.
• Video Messaging: Ability for users to upload a video that generates a unique QR code to be printed on the gift tag.
• Smart Logistics:
• Delivery Date Picker: Calendar integration to select specific delivery dates.
• Midnight Delivery Toggle: Integration of surcharges for specific time slots.
• Multi-Address Checkout: Allow users to buy 5 items and send them to 5 different addresses in one transaction.
• The "Gifting" Checkout:
• Option to "Hide Invoice/Price" for the recipient.
• Add-on upsell at checkout (Greeting cards, flowers, chocolates).
• Handwritten note text box.
• Search & Discovery:
• "Gift Finder" Quiz/Filter (Occasion + Recipient + Budget).
• Occasion-based landing pages (Valentine’s, Diwali, Anniversary).
4. Preferred Tech Stack

• Option 2 (Preferred for Scaling): Next.js / React with a headless CMS (like Sanity or Strapi) and a robust backend (Node.js/Express).
• Database: MongoDB or PostgreSQL.
• Integrations: Razorpay/Stripe (Payments), Shiprocket/Nimbuspost (Logistics), Interakt/AISENSY (WhatsApp Business API).
5. Design & Aesthetic Requirements
• Vibe: Warm, premium, trustworthy, and "Indian Modern."
• Color Palette: [e.g., Deep Teal & Champagne Gold / Soft Rose & Slate Grey].
• Mobile-First: 90% of traffic is expected from mobile; UX must be flawless on smartphones.

3. Integration of all third-party APIs (Payment, Shipping, WhatsApp).
4. Basic SEO setup (Schema markup, Meta tags, Speed optimization).
5. Documentation/Training for the team to manage products.
7. Selection Criteria
