Howdy,

With the holiday season approaching, I was wondering if there is a
service out there that will allow me to add people to a list that I
can then browse through the different web site stores and select gifts
for them.

That way, i can enter all the people I need to buy presents for in
your list, and get them gifts there.  and that way, I know when I have
gotten everyone their gift(s).

Prefferably, I could do all this in one site.  i.e. Amazon or Ebay?

In addition, it would be great to be able to add price ranges for the
different people, and the site automatically give you gift ideas for
them.

Hope this all make sense.  Feel free to ask any follow up questions.
Thx,

Hi yamil,

I believe I have found the ideal service for you. Here are
descriptions of some of the services offered.

"Gift Ideas - You're a couple of mouse clicks away from thousands of
gift ideas. Once you have found the gift idea that you want, click on
it. Each gift idea connects directly to the web merchant that sells
the gift.
Or, use our Advanced Gift Finder or our Gift Wizard to find gift
recommendations for a specific person. We ask a few simple questions
and present you with a list of gift ideas that are a good match.
 
Gift Bookmarks * - Have you ever forgot that perfect gift idea for
that someone special? Bookmark gift ideas into your personal  bookmark
area. Now, you can bookmark any gift idea, from any website, for any
occasion.
  
Email Reminder Service * - Having trouble keeping track of birthdays
and anniversaries? Set email reminders for birthdays, anniversaries or
any other gift giving occasion. You can easily set multiple reminder
lead times for the same event to give you a stress free head start on
your shopping.
  
My Favorite Stores * - Easy access links to your favorite stores."  


I particularly liked the "Gift Wizard". The categories for the gift search are:
Gender
Age
Person
Gift Type
Occasion
Price

You just select the criteria for each and a list of gifts will be
displayed, including the store.

Let me know if this is the sort of service you are looking for.

Regards,
rainbow~

Your recomendation addresses the second part of my request.  Thats the
part about searching for gifts/price ranges, etc.  But what is of most
importance is just being able to keep track of A) the people i need to
get gifts for and B) the gifts I have gotten them.

Do any of the services below help do that?

Thx,

Hi yamil,

The site I recommended was the closest service I found available which
fits the criteria you're seeking. The only thing it doesn't do is keep
track of people to get gifts for.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to locate anything closer than this.

Maybe another researcher will be able to find something.

Best of luck,
rainbow~
