Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. I agree that the best gifts emphasize connection with the individual and it's difficult to replicate that insight through an app. Perhaps using this as a tool to simply "jog the memory" is its most effective use case.

I was inspired by Spotify's "Discovered Weekly" algorithm which recommends songs based on other users with similar music tastes. It's uncanny how effective the Spotify algorithm is at suggesting new songs that I like. My hypothesis is that this can be harnessed and applied to gift recommendations, but right now it's only that, a hypothesis, and indeed all the gift recommendations are currently hardcoded.

Thanks for the feedback!
