Copy this prompt
Keep a gift list for me. When I send a photo or link, find the exact item, check the price at [STORES I TRUST], and save it under the person I name with the best price and link. Each morning from now to [DATE], check saved items and message me if one drops in price or goes on sale. Don't buy anything.
