DuqE the whole surprise factor is a great point and one we are uncertain on how to incorperate at this point.
In the case where a person gets only a percentage of the money for different gifts on their wish list and not 100% for any one item may seem like a problem but I want you to look at it differently. Think about this site first and foremost as an alternative to a gift card. Its basically the same principle but without limitation and the user gets to see that your money was given for the purpose of trying to help them get a specific gift(s).
