I couldn't resist seeing how this gift selector works, as I needed some gift ideas and love experimenting with new technology. The web application is called Imagini and is produced by Blueorange Net Technologies of the UK. It uses a technology called VisualDNA to find gifts ideas for you or someone else.
The process of using the Imagini Gift Finder could not be simpler. Several series of pictures were shown to me and based on my preference, I selected a picture for each series. At the end of the test, I was also asked some short demographic information about myself, concluding my gift preference profile.
To my delight, the gift finder then presented me with 63 fabulous gift ideas. Some of the gifts it recommended to me, which I thought were fitting, ...wink,wink,wink...jk were items such as:
- Chronograph watch
- Digital Photo Frame
- Captain's Decanter
- Key bottle opener
- Mango trees for a farmer (for someone in the third world who's in need )
The only downside to this gift selector is that it is UK based, so be prepared for a few questions more applicable to someone living in the UK. Even with this slight annoyance it did an excellent job of selecting gifts for me.
If you are stumped as to what to give this holiday season, I highly recommend you try out this simple and fun to use web app.
I look forward to hearing how this tool turns out for you and whether it was useful for your holiday gift buying.

Very cool.
Here is why my visual DNA analysis said about you PT (the gift suggestions...well you are just going to have to wait till Christmas to find those out!):
Your choice of colour signifies a sense of intelligence, communication, trust, efficiency, serenity, duty and calm. You are likely to be a very devoted and loyal person that likes things to be in order. You are probably happy to express your emotions and are regarded by your friends as someone that can easily gauge their mood.
Spare time is spent doing the little things in life that keep you going. You like the predictability of routine - but also the random nature of escaping the day to day and dreaming of somewhere else.
Nothing beats time spent with your friends catching up with what's going on. You like to mix with like-minded people, and having a good group of loyal friends is really important to you.
You love to take time out for yourself - you like to immerse yourself in another world, let your imagination take hold.
Your style is a little unusual - you like things to look handcrafted, but also you like a bold daring palette.
When you have extra time you like to use it for yourself. You have a playful character, and hobbies tend absorb a lot of your time.
You like your holidays to capture your spirit of adventure and love of the outdoors. Happier under canvas than in a fancy hotel, travel is all about experiencing the elements and environment. Even though you are adventurous you have a nesting spirit that is happy to set up a base camp!
What really matters to you is the bigger picture, you are aware of the world around you, and feel a sense of responsibility. You like to have your voice heard and to be a driving force for change.
Giving means being able to spoil those who matter most. Kids benefit the most from gifts, and you love to see them so happy. You are selfless, and very family minded.
And, for the interest of your readers, here is what is said about me:

You are likely to be a very devoted and loyal person that likes things to be in order. You are probably happy to express your emotions and are regarded by your friends as someone that can easily gauge their mood.
Spare time is spent fulfilling your social desires. You love good food and conversation, and building on the friendships you have. You are not shy of meeting new people and are interested in what others have to say.
Nothing beats time spent with your friends catching up with what's going on. You like to mix with like-minded people, and having a good group of loyal friends is really important to you.
You love to be able to be in charge, freedom and the open road are the perfect partner.
Your style is relaxed and approachable, you like things to have character, and posses that handcrafted feel.
When you have extra time you like to spend it enjoying the everyday activities that others ignore. These moments are sometimes snatched, but so important.
You like your holidays to be about the nightlife - whether you're in the city or on the beach, you are there to have a good time. You can make the best of any situation and pride yourself on the fact you can always find where the party’s at. Living life fast means you're social and fun - people love to be around you.
You are a passionate person who loves nothing more than the satisfaction of a job well done. You're diligent, loyal and dedicated to everything you do.
Giving, to you, means being able to provide for those who you think need it. You think charity is an important part of life - and that giving here can make a real difference. This view echoes the considered and thoughtful nature to your character.
Wow. Your VisualDNA analysis of me is almost spot on the one I conducted for myself.

Now that you have aroused my curiosity, I can't wait to see what Christmas has in store.
I got around to doing a VisualDNA analysis of you, PF and came up with poor results. Or I should say results which contradicted your own analysis of yourself.
I must not know you well enough yet, to run an accurate VisualDNA profile on you ;-)
Actually, I think your analysis might be a bit more on in a few parts than my own was...
