Rather than responding to everyone's complaints about the site: I whipped this together in less than a day, I was mostly focused on content, no one at YC who usually makes beautiful designs was available to help, I can't program, I'm using Strikingly, this is version 1. I'm happy to get feedback, but please go easy on me. We will plan much further in advance next year and make it easy to scroll through ideas and look…
It would be fairer to the companies at the bottom of the list if you had the list randomly resort itself with each page load, instead of being rendered in alphabetical order.
yeah but then it would be harder to find things when revisiting the list. oh wait you cookie everyone and preserve the order on an individual basis. sick.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was thinking about Instapainting, but then I realized - way too late for Christmas.
That was one of the tabs I opened. I was kind of hoping they offered gift certificates. My use case is probably letting the recipient choose the photo.
You can specify a recipient email at checkout and we'll send them instructions via a special page where they upload photos, talk to the artist, and track the status with the pricing hidden.
Because I'm lazy, your recipient won't know what type of painting or what size until the artist is finished. But let's just call that a feature for now ;).
Oh man, Pantelligent is the perfect gift for one of my family members, but it's backordered until next year! Such a bummer. Wish I knew about it sooner.
Just buy an electric skillet for a fraction of the cost and then use one of the many cooking apps out there which already prompt you with times, etc. An electric skillet has the benefit that it will keep precise temperature without any action on your part. Pantelligent seems to have reinvented an expensive solution for a problem that was solved over half a century ago: http://www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw=electric+ski…
An unsolicited suggestion: Maybe it would be best to have to "Buy From YC Companies" page or something like that, and then just select 6-8 of them on a separate "for the holidays" page. At least that way an everyday consumer could quickly scan the list without having to read 20+ startup descriptions (which can be tiring, even for the hn crowd).
Personally, I thought it was worth the read. I had no idea that many of these companies were YC backed, or that some of them existed at all.
Honest question: Are you serious? What kind of person thinks to themselves, "Man, I really wish I had a gift idea list based on a particular financial investor."
