A comment on Show HN: We got tired of getting gifts we don't like/need, so we made this.

Is this a real problem?

I would never use this. First, I don't expect people to get me gifts. Secondly, even if I don't need/will never use the gift I received, it truely is the thought that counts. It's a bit ungracious to tell someone what to get me, no?

It all feels very alien and weird to me to have this problem. Maybe I'm weird.

Generally we are just hoping to give people an idea of what you'll like and not limit them to anything really. We found from our initial market test that 72% of people would rather know what to buy for a friend than not know
