Awesome idea man and I really dig what you have going so far. Inputting items by hand will def be an issues as there are millions of products out there. Do you think you could try to work with the Amazon Associates API and input gifts that way? I haven't really tried doing this before but you could possibly attempt to utilize that (or something similar). As far as the UI goes I think it looks fairly clean. For me it's a personal preference to have all of the field top oriented and place the search results on the bottom (google esque). This also would allow you to have rows of 3 instead of rows of 2 as far as products go. Just my 2 cents great work man!

Thanks! I do use the amazon API (all products right now are on amazon) to backfill a lot of the info. I don't want to just 'dump' tons of items though because there are a lot of dupes. I looked at grabbing best sellers from each category as a means of seeding, but there is a ton of dupes (like all the different kindle versions). Tagging also became somewhat of an issue and most items have few-no tags. Also the description quality/length varies greatly. Thanks for the UI suggestion, I will play with that idea and see if I can come up with a better top oriented/organized search/nav. I definitely would like more screen real estate for gifts.
