GiftPicker by Presently

Maker

gm Hunters! I’m Dalia, co-creator of GiftPicker -- the newest addition to our gifting ecosystem at Presently, juuust in time for Black Friday & holiday shopping. GiftPicker was a fun project spearheaded by our interns, taking a Buzzfeed-style approach to finding a great gift with an epic, curated database of gifts. The problems we observed: We’ve all received a bad gift (or ten) in the past, and therefore know how equally amazing and difficult it feels to find a good one 🥴 It takes *hours* to sift through the billion gift guides on the web to find gifts. You'd think someone’s built a good gift suggestor by now, but every database we tried was incredibly tacky… are people still buying monogrammed pens? And so, GiftPicker was born 🌞 ✍️ Take a short quiz about the person you’re buying a gift for 🔮 In seconds, GiftPicker will unlock three gifts tailored to their interests (or more, if you want) 🎉 You skip the weeks of frustration leading up to the holidays! HUGE thank you to our Gifting Queen & Summer 2021 engineering intern @qali_langstaff for initiating this project, and to the Tamid teams led by @nicholas_osborne & @a_reed614 for taking it over the finish line this fall. Drop a gift you'll never forget below -- good or bad. Bonus points if you tag who it's from 😏 Your gifting sidekicks, Dalia & Team ---- Full thanks goes to the kickass team working on this: Qali Langstaff, Alex Reed, Nicholas Osborne, Daniel Sheyko, Peyton Vannatta, Braden Hunter, Thomas Holt, Neel Sortur, Vrushali Tarte, Priyanka Chowdhury, Jared Rudnicki, Erin Kim, Gaea Leemon, Nikola Dobrev, Marc Bacvanski, Rebecca Swernofsky, Spencer Belsky, Sufi Kaur, Victoria Bowen, Claudia Stedt, Katie Fine, Sabina Sternklar-Davis, and more.
