Show HN: Automate Your Gifting

  2.9% fee + risk the person being unhappy (meaning you have to return and waste time on that) or pick it yourself, save 2.9% of your money latter for me, decent project regardless, upvoted

    There is still a risk of them being unhappy even if you pick it yourself.

  Hi HN - a clinical pharmacist for close to 10 years. As COVID hit, my wife stayed home and took care of the house. Found myself with a lot of evening and weekends with nothing to do. So, decided to use the time productively and learn how to code. 173 days later —> https://joyful.gifts https://joyful.gifts This app have been in production for 2 years now. It gave me the courage to call myself a software dev and get a job where I can code and do pharmacy stuff too. Happy to answer any questions about the process!

  Cool project, however for me the value of a gift has always been the time and thought someone put behind getting me a gift than the actual gift itself. I feel like services like this would just take it away. Plus wouldn't you want to get the person what they wanted rather than what a <typical person of that demographic> wants? It's a lot less personal this way.
