Working at it!

Work in Progress

So we’ve launched our Xmas Gift Finder but we’re still not done giving it love in-house to enhance its usability for all you folk in need of ideas as the Festive Season swift approaches.

Our main aim is to remove some of the beads of sweat from brows the world around. How you ask? Well, we contemplated the woohoos and boohoos of the holiday season… After much debate, this multicultural melange of muppets more or less agreed on one point: the greatest woe of the season is that our Great consumerist Expectations are often not met! Months before Parcel-Ripping Day (PRD), we gently start hinting to our loved ones how desperately we need that uber useful Remote-Controlled Tarantula, that can’t-live-without 40-Foot Marshmallow Blaster, that pair of socks…

Regrettably, come PRD, the gifts are often thoughtful but not exactly what we wanted for Xmas… So, Imagini decided that the “All I want for Xmas” Gift Finder would do just that - find a safe haven to display tailored inspiration to our loved-ones! We do understand that some people like surprises which is why we offer loads of different ideas which are split up into different categories:

There’s enough choice there to allow for surprises unless you’re lucky enough to be receiving that many presies!

In the next week, our beloved development team are planning on some new graphics going live as well as some new functionality… Our product team, on the other hand, are tirelessly adding new gift ideas to the Gift Finder. You may find some of our gifts on the pricey side - the explanation to this is that we’ve come to think of the Gift Finder as a practical tool and as a “Wishlist” offering some of the dreamy products we simply wish we could have! It’s kind of like virtual window-shopping where you can just have some fun checking out the cool and the beautiful!

You know we like to hear from you, so tell us your thoughts below or shoot us an email if you have time: feedback@imagini.net.

Xmas time at Imagini

Yes, it’s that time of year again – and help is in hand from all of us here at Imagini with the launch today of our brand new Xmas Gift Finder.

This is a seriously cool new feature from us that finds you products matched to your VisualDNA. Months of work have gone into creating it and today marks the release of it in Beta version.

There is a US and a UK version featuring products that would be shipped from each country. If you live outside these countries, don’t worry, almost all of the suppliers that have the products will ship to anywhere in the world.

Here’s what you do…

You click through visual questions in the same way as you all now know from Imagini and Hey Presto! - loads of cool Xmas present ideas pop up onto your screen that have been specially selected to suit you.

You’ve got to try it to see quite how amazingly clever it is.

Click on the Love tab if you like an item - it will bring this product to the top of your list.

Click on the remove tab to delete an item from your list. The system then starts learning what you don’t like and will remember for next time.

Go play with it – and please do send it to friends if you like what you see.
