Assigning multiple purchases to recipients help

[MreSailor]

I have a project where a purchaser can purchase multiple products, then assign them to other individuals.

 

So if you purchases 5 of 'widget1 - sku w123' then we need to split the cart to collect information on how to assign the qty 5 widget1 - sku's, for example 3 of the 5 total to one individual 2 to another individual.

 

One at a time is is easy with text attributes I use for assignment, but since the products may be ordered in quantity I need to split the quantity part of the order. We have multiple products and all of them need to be assignable by qty to split up the orders.

 

Anyone have any ideas?
