"Buy Gifts by Describing the Giftee, the Gifter, the Gift, or the Activity" seems more like it. I didn't find anything to buy today, but I added an item I would like myself (a super-expensive cookbook), and had fun adding any tag that came to mind relating to myself(gourmet, cook, etc), the book (luxurious, exhaustive etc), or my desire for it (insane, unreasonable, etc).

Right now the products are all your choice - it's not that you have bad taste or good taste, you just need more, and more tags. How are you going to scale this? What about involving crowd-curation - inviting people shopping for someone else to first choose something THEY want on Amazon, and input that into GiftLizard with a cloud of tags that covers the nexus of object, desire, and person. That might help increase the range of your offerings in a hurry. I don't think that you would have added that particular book - which would make a perfect gift for me if my wife happened to be directed to this site - anytime soon.

I added your book, thanks for submitting it :)

As I said, the inventory isn't that big, but it will only get better with a larger inventory. Scaling is the challenge. The other problem is maintaining quality and not turning it into a boring gift shopping site.

My current approach to scaling is finding people from different backgrounds and interests to add and tag gifts. I've got two people helping me right now to try and increase the inventory size.

Thanks for the gift suggestion and feedback :)
