You could also look at implementing a "memorized carts" feature, using a
cookie and a database. Basically, you could use CartTrigger to update
the database with every item they add or remove to their cart. Set the
id of the entry in a cookie with a long expiration. When a visitor
returns to the site, check for the cookie, and if present, reload the
items from the database into their cart (via Autoload).
Of course, you have to watch out for items that may have been in their
memorized cart but are now out of stock, or inactive.
