Shopping guides

Argh, I really hate online tools that claim to help you shop for gifts. “Pick the perfect present!” “Take the worry out of gift giving.” Buy bullshit gifts for people you don’t know well enough to shop for.
If you don’t know what to get someone, it’s probably because they are not in the category of friend, family or social circle that needs a gift. You’d be better off not buying them anything at all.
If you want to amuse yourself, go see what these tools suggest for you. Plug in your own age/status/style, and see what they suggest. I’ve noted their ridiculous suggestions for me after each.
