The invention provides users with a centralized location to visually represent a objective or common objective and invite members of a defined community to contribute towards achieving the objective. The invention monitors progress as community members begin to contribute towards the objective, creating a clear and measurable method of determining advancement towards achieving the objective. This system can be used in multiple contexts, but is particularly well suited for scenarios such as gift or wedding registries where “group give” functionality becomes necessary. The system provides the ability to create a visual representation of a product such as gift, segment the product, and allow for multiple persons (i.e. the community of wedding guests) to simultaneously monitor progress and contribute towards the objective.
