It be cool if the gifts weren't so centered on nerd culture, I personally didn't see anything I'd be excited to get. Maybe you could add interest filters?
I plan to roll it out eventually.
First off, awesome site. I read the background on why you created this so take this with a grain of salt :) Using new routes for each relationship selection would be cool so that I can press the back button to return to the awesome landing page (I did see you had a return button but it took me a bit too long to see it). Cool idea regardless! I spend way too much time browsing thinkgeek around the holidays for each me…
You are right, now that I think about it, hitting back while you are browsing product should totally bring you back to the homepage, I just never thought of the scenario.
The fact that you mentioned awesome landing page makes me extra happy. I hand drew the pixel arts myself and had a lot of fun doing it :D
can you include transgender items as well? I need help shopping for a transgender dude who doesn't identify as male or even fully female.
It'd also be cool if the ages actually meant something. I noticed that 90% of the items are the same, whether I picked "son", "father", or "grandfather." Do you really think my grandfather would want a nerf gun? :) I am glad that this list isn't just your standard alcohol, knives, and golf equipment list that heavily dominates men's gift lists.
I basically ranked each item from 0 (don't show) to 10 (Best match) for each relationship. So the more you scroll down, you may start seeing some meh results for that particular relationship.
Because every person is unique I have a hard time completely dismissing something (rank as 0) for a particular relationship.
I have plans to add a lot more products. When the total product count reaches more than 300, I think this problem of seeing duplicate results will reduce by a good margin.
Thanks for the feedback! :)

You are right, there are a lot of repitition. But you will see that what comes up as "Grandson" may come up as "Maybe not a good idea" in the "Best Guess" description.

In that case, a clearer way of doing that might be to separate the rank 0s into its own section on the same page. "For Grandpa:" and something more bland like "Other Exciting Items" or something like that. That way, as I'm scrolling down, I see a clear break between what's for Grandpa, and what's probably not going to interest him, but is there "just in case."
Please vote if you like it! <3

Thanks for the feedback. I planned to do an interest filter in the beginning but decided I would get the first batch of feedback without it while keeping UX as simple as possible. I plan to roll it out eventually.
