You don't need quite so much verbosity. You can just say: This gift is designed for anyone who wants to impress friends or make people remember them throughout their life. However, this is still not the greatest sentence ever written.

Since the the gift has been designed for two kinds of audience, I wrote the sentence in this way.

Initially I had this type of sentence in mind but since it did not sound natural to me I wrote the way I have in this thread,
