In the female, young adult profiler, I’m a “Hipster.” My profile gives famous examples of personalities like mine, theoretical morning routines, reading lists, and clothing styles so you can see if this profile is a good match for me. Beyond that are a dangerous variety of things I never knew I wanted until I saw them on the site, like the desk-sized world time clock. Each grove on the barrel-shaped face has the name of a major international city. James Bond probably owns one; why shouldn’t I?
Through a few friend trials, I’ve found the age groups run a bit younger than they describe. If your son is in college, better click “young adult” just to be safe. He’ll appreciate it when he opens a “USB roll-up drum kit” instead of those “instant incognito ban sunglasses.”
Bargain hunters never fear. Every product page on this site compares prices from different online stores that carry the same product and similar items. When you know what you want, scroll down and follow the link with the best price.
Remember, though, you’re shopping through Gifts.com, so ultimately you must buy your product from the original vendor. Cool things like combined shipping rates and a faster shipping time do not necessarily apply just because you found it all on Gifts.com. It’s a small inconvenience, however, for the tireless source of great gift ideas at your fingertips.
Gifts.com is a clean, easy-to-use site that deserves recognition. The attention to detail is flawless and, even then, they are still adding features. I’ve noticed more personalities and interest categories since the last time I visited a few months ago. They now include a database where you can save the recipient profiles you create so next time you are taken straight to the best recommendations. E-mail reminders of important dates will keep you from forgetting your girlfriend’s birthday ever again.
Think of me this holiday season while you’re hurtling through the department store like a quarterback, clutching your prize tight to avoid theft. I’ll be in my pajamas and lion slippers effortlessly finding the perfect gift. I can drink my large cup of hot coffee and still be finished first. Cheers!
