Send Birthday and Anniversary Reminders Gift Ideas
Daily AI alerts seven days before birthdays or anniversaries with personalized messages and three tailored gift ideas under $100.
What it does
Never forget a special day again as this workflow checks your contacts daily to send you warm, AI-generated alerts seven days before birthdays or anniversaries. You receive a clean message containing the person's name, age, relationship, interests, and three tailored gift ideas with price estimates ranging from $20 to $100. The system automatically calculates ages and handles year wrap-arounds so you are always ready to celebrate.
Step by step
- Set a daily cron job or time-based trigger in Google Sheets to run the workflow every morning.
- Use a simple script to calculate current ages and detect year wrap-arounds for past birthdays.
- Filter contacts where the calculated days until the event are exactly seven.
Where the LLM does the work
- Prompt the LLM to generate three unique gift ideas based on the contact's specific interests and a $20-$100 budget.
- Ask the LLM to draft a warm, personalized message that includes the recipient's name, age, relationship type, and the suggested gifts.
Watch out for
Repetitive prompts can cause the model to suggest the same generic gifts, vary the temperature parameter for more creativity.
Sending messages too frequently might annoy contacts, implement a cooldown timer if multiple events occur within a short window.
Personal data like names and ages must be sanitized before sending to prevent accidental exposure in logs.

Repetitive prompts can cause the model to suggest the same generic gifts, vary the temperature parameter for more creativity. 2. Sending messages too frequently might annoy contacts, implement a cooldown timer if multiple events occur within a short window. 3. Personal data like names and ages must be sanitized before sending to prevent accidental exposure in logs. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/15335 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Spreadsheet than Google Sheets?
Yes. Google Sheets is only the example spreadsheet in this recipe. The same flow works with Airtable, Baserow and Excel. Swap the spreadsheet connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
