Thanks, MNHQ

Note added 4 May: As a result of the feedback given by MNers - Gift Wink have asked us to pass on the below -

We would like to say a huge thank you. The level of detail and insight we received from you guys far exceeded our expectations and we genuinely appreciate every single comment we received. We are going to work on a couple of themes of work as a result:

1. More gift content! We are going to add more gift content, especially in the women and men's sections. A number of you would also like a section with lower priced gifts, so we will add this in too (handy for school birthday parties!).

1. Filtering the gift suggestions. A lot of you wanted to filter the gifts on price, so this is a priority for us to implement. We are also going to build some gift categories in the women and men sections around themes such as "gardening" or "beauty" or "experiences", so you can filter against the type of gift you want.

1. There were a few functionality issues that we are need to work on. Not knowing the year of birth was a common issue when you were trying to add in birthday alerts, so we are adding in some age bands so you can still give us a good idea on roughly how old they are (so we can get the gift suggestions right). We are also going to build a better way to serve gift suggestions that match what people's likes and dislikes are.

We're completely committed to building a product that helps you remember important birthdays and browse gift inspiration in the most efficient way possible! Please do let us know if you have any further thoughts or feedback. We'd love to hear from you.

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?

A reminder and finder gift service for occasions

Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?

I think the site looks good - very clean lines, very modern. And I like the idea.

Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?

It would be good if it could be used for other occasions - not just birthdays. Anniversaries would be very useful - not just wedding anniversaries, but significant milestones that may be marked with a gift.

Q4. What features could you not live without?

I don't like this question. There is nothing in life that I can't live without

Q5. Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?

I might. Especially for older people - as that was pretty poor!

Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why

Most probably not. I guess it's a commission website - so prices are more than I would be willing to pay. Also, the gifts recommended to me are very much middle class and more than I would spend on anybody (me included!). It's definitely not designed with people on lower incomes in mind!

Q7 On a scale of 0-10 how likely would you be to recommend Gift Wink to a friend or family member? Please use a scale where 0 is would not at all and 10 is definitely would

1. I might, but I don't really have any folk I would recommend it to. And if I did, they would know where I might have got my clever ideas from!

Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?

A few functionality issues:

The screen where you input the birthdays is annoying, as the columns get smaller and smaller, so you have to click out of it and then back in to be able to input more names. May be an idea to limit it to three inputs then a save.

5 of the 6 birthdays I inputted were for males. But my 87 year old Dad wouldn't appreciate the same gifts as my brother and husband in their thirties. Given that we're giving you ages, it may be worth looking at how many gifts are available for different age ranges.

When you go onto the 'gifts' page, there is no section for 'men'. Pretty big omission!

I'm not hugely keen with having to input names and full dates of birth without knowing its a secure site. So I probably wouldn't use it in the future.

I do however really like the wish-list function. But not the gifts for women. They're all a bit clichéd and samey. Very middle class and expensive.

I think the site is a GREAT idea, but a bit sexist (aimed at Mums, suggestions by Mums) and very yummy-mummy stereotyped. It would be good to see a bit more variety.

Phew - not going to win the voucher, am I?!

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?
Tasteful gift inspiration.

Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?
I like that the girls' suggestions include science kits and outdoorsy stuff. It's a good start.

To search by category rather than age/gender.

Q4. What features could you not live without?
The reminders.

Q5. Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?
That's a fab idea. Like a gifty pinterest. It would have to be limited though, I could imagine it getting a bit cluttered. Less is more.

Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why Yes, but I do shop around for the best prices and often go through cashback sites, so it would have to be competitive/incentivised.

Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?
I would add further gifting selections other than birthday for my own children I would like Easter, cams etc with gift ideas for the appropriate time of year. I would also have a guest profile that doesn't stay in your calendar for the one off gift purchases such as school friend bday parties, I'd also add a price filter on the search.

it could become a go-to place for me for christmas and birthday shopping. Some really good ideas for childrens gifts particularly

Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?
Advertising the website will be important to it's success and as more users sign up and use it, it will become even more useful with added user suggestions.
Giving people options for what their lists of people likes and dislikes are may be easier than them having to think of things to type in the box.

1. Good for inspiration.
2. Gives age appropriate recommendations, different ideas.
3. An option to put a price range/limit on for the suggestions for each person.
4. I like the fact it tailors by age.
5. Not really, no.
6. It would depend on the price – I’d probably use the ideas to check for a similar thing cheaper as some – not all – of the recommendations are quite expensive.
7. 5/10
8. It would be nice to have a filtering option for the suggestions – by price, type of gift etc.

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?
Simple, helpful ideas
Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?
Electronic single place to store all birthdays and get reminders and ideas
Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?
More questions to narrow down range for various ages
Q4. What features could you not live without?
Electronic reminders

Yes as I think of things through the year, would like to save them against specific people on list.
Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why
Yes although would check prices elsewhere first so depends on how competitive the item is priced.

Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?
Needs to expand on those that aren't children and have a better range. To use the site as a single place for all birthdays needs to consider people will use it for older people however whether you are 16 or 60 the ideas suggested are the same!

How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?
Birthday reminders

What do you like most about Gift Wink?
The potential to be reminded about birthdays in time to do something to mark them.

If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?
I'd like the ability to choose how far in advance the reminder is - 2 weeks isn't long enough if I want to buy and post something.

What features impressed you the most?
I think the reminder is what would be most useful to me, although if the gift suggestions turned out to be appropriate for the men in my life I'd be delighted! I can imagine it being useful if you're trying to buy for a child you have no experience of the age/gender of so are stuck for ideas.

Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?
I'd like a way to note down ideas for presents when I have them at entirely the wrong time of year then have forgotten by the time I need them.

8 if they expressed issues with remembering birthdays

Are there any comments or suggestions you’d like to share with Gift Wink
When you have suggestions for boys/girls/both, please can both include everything from both lists. I also entirely missed the men/women suggestions because I'd clicked both at the top and they didn't appear - could both those lists be there?

How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?

Simple. Effective.

What do you like most about Gift Wink?

I like the quality of gifts suggested by the website, they appear to be well tailored and not the usual drab run of the mill gifts you find with similar services.

If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?

I'd like it if you could include a 'don't show this again' type of option so the same thing doesn't crop up again in the suggestions if you know the recipient wouldn't enjoy it.

What features impressed you the most?

The ease of use, quality of gifts and the fact that I may never get into trouble again for forgetting a birthday!

Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?

Not at the moment.

Are there any comments or suggestions you’d like to share with Gift Wink
It would be wonderful if the reminder service could extend to birthday cards (plenty of advanced warning) so that you could view appropriate cards based on the suggestions you already entered.

This was a really quick helpful & easy to use site.
The fact that I have all bdays & special occasions there & will get reminders about upcoming dates (that I as the world's worst aunt/ godmother/friend) always forget to last minute is great & the thing I felt most helpful. & the suggestions/ideas were lovely.
Although I did notice that I would sometimes get the same suggestions for my children's 60 yo grandad & 7 yo son so I would probably try to tweak/change that.
As I said before the reminders of upcoming bdays is a brilliant feature one that makes this app one I want on my phone
I wouldn't mind posting my suggestions on to gift wink. But I would be concerned that if hundreds of people did that it would turn into another pintrest or it would lose the speed cause you would be wading through too many posts.
I would buy through giftwink for the speed & ease of it. But I would try to price match or shop around for lower price 1st
Definitely be recommending it to friends. It is a really helpful app.
I think if I could suggest anything it would be to get a few more suggestions for the older age groups
Esp the men's range (but that's just a personal things as that's who I struggle the most with!)

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?
Simple and efficient
Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?
Simplicity of site, keeping all my birthdays to remember in one place
Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?
Nothing so far
Q4. What features could you not live without?
Able to log all birthdays in one place
Q5. Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?
No
Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why
Would probably use it for ideas rather than buy from them directly
Q7 On a scale of 0-10 how likely would you be to recommend Gift Wink to a friend or family member? Please use a scale where 0 is would not at all and 10 is definitely would
10, nothing not to like
Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?
Nice simple site, don't try to overcomplicate it with additional features, just do what you do well

1. Great for inspiration and organisation : )
2. Reminds me of my friends' and families' interests and helps me to find things they'll love - all in one place!
3. A budget range when generating gift ideas
4. Calculates how old the gift recipient is for you - no more birth date math! Yay!
5. Yes, I already have some that aren't listed
6. Yes, if I couldn't find the product I desired for a better price elsewhere
7. 9
8. Please keep adding more gift ideas and categories, price ranges etc thanks

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?
sophisticated, clever

Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?
I expected it to be an online shop and was pleasantly surprised that it is not - it is a service that is useful that then points you to where to buy the items. So it doesn't feel 'pushy' or salesy but like a genuine helper to help you find gifts.

I felt intrigued by the business model as there isn't a fee to use it so i am guessing they get a cut of purchases that are made by following links from their site. I would like to see a bit about how that works in the interest of honesty and transparency.

Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?
Make it clearer how to buy. It took me a few moments to figure out that i needed to press the 'view product info' to be able to buy the item.

Q4. What features could you not live without?
the birthday calender suggestions.

Q5. Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?
no - i feel like life is busy enough! The whole point of being interested in this is to save time. Sounds selfish but unless i found a real wow gift that i had to tell the world about, i wouldn't find time to suggest ideas.

Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why

yes i would consider it. It would need to stay 'top of mind' through the year and that is hard work i'd imagine but the reminder emails would prove useful. I wonder if all the sites it links to for purchase can deliver within that two week timeframe? I know i've had to wait several weeks for orders from some retailers - so is the two weeks long enough?

I will also be interested to see how often they email me.

I am happy to be emailed by organisations that i am interested in but if they abuse my trust by emailing too often i hit the unsubscribe button. Once a month is plenty.

Q7 On a scale of 0-10 how likely would you be to recommend Gift Wink to a friend or family member? Please use a scale where 0 is would not at all and 10 is definitely would

i reckon about a 9. it's worth trying out. I was also pleasantly surprised that it is not just for kids gifts but for older relatives too!

Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?

As above. Also enjoyed seeing their facebook feed and twitter account as looks fun to follow.

Registered and given it a whirl! Here goes

Gift Shopping Made Easy
Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?
Simplicity of site, ease of use and clickable gifts. The wish list function is brilliant
Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?
I've used the website for this test but I prefer to use an app.
Q4. What features could you not live without?
The clickable gift suggestions - they give ideas I might not think about - saves my brain from thinking :)
Q5. Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?
Yes I would, especially if I saw a bargainous item, price dropped on Amazon or a toy a know my daughter enjoyed it was particularly good quality. I think if lots of parents did that it could work really well.
Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why
Yes I would. If delivery charges and prices were comparable and service good then it would make my life easier. At the omens I use an app where I record what gifts I've bought but then another app to buy them. Putting it all in one app would be very useful.
Q7 On a scale of 0-10 how likely would you be to recommend Gift Wink to a friend or family member?
10. I liked it and I have a visual impairment but found it easy to use and not a faff so yes I'm happy to recommend it.

Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?
I love Christmas shopping throughout the year and at sale times so I would definitely enjoy using gift wink to help me with that.

1. Appealing, useful.
2. Age specific gift ideas
3. Better range of "women's" gifts eg outdoor / garden items.
4. none.
5. Possibly, but would worry about the site being overwhelmed with unhelpful suggestions.
6. Possibly. Price would be the deciding factor.
7. 7
8. (a) Although there were 5 or 6 gift recipients forms that could be completed in one go, the site would only accept them one at a time which was frustrating.

(b) No "grandson/grandaughter/grandchild" option when entering details. (c) Having searched for 7 year old girl and boy options, there were more relevant items for the boy under the girl search. (d) Grow a Maze kit shows as £0 until you click thru (e) some of the suggested items are not very appropriate - eg an animals head ceramic vase costing £49 for a 7 year old boy

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?
Easy to use, a good idea for time pressured people, especially with no children of their own.

Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?
It is easy to use and the presents seemed to be quite good quality, I have already bought quite a few of those things myself, but some of the suggestions seemed a bit young for the target recipients.

Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?
The pictures are irritatingly poor quality.

Q4. What features could you not live without?
It isn't essential but the birthday reminders are helpful.

Q5. Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?
Yes, I like sourcing gifts

Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why
If it was competitively priced, posted and dispatched to the recipient yes.

Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?
I struggle to see how it is better than notonthehighstreet, also I can set reminders on my phone nip online and get the present sorted in minutes. Good for the lazy shopper. Some things I was amazed by - Junior monopoly at 9? my three year old can play it and follow the rules, probably better suited to a five year old.

Right, I've had a bimble around the site and it's my son's birthday in a few weeks so it was a fairly useful exercise. Here are my answers....

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?
Great for ideas.
Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?
The fact that it could turn up a gift - or an idea or theme - which I wouldn't have thought of.
Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?
More choice and the ability to list by price.
Q4. What features could you not live without?
Umm, I could live without this webpage, it's quite nice but not essential.
Q5. Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?
Possibly if I found something super dooper.
Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why
Not from the choices I was given. There were a few things I'd already bought for my son which were similar but I would always compare prices elsewhere and only buy if it was the cheapest.
Q7 On a scale of 0-10 how likely would you be to recommend Gift Wink to a friend or family member? Please use a scale where 0 is would not at all and 10 is definitely would

More choice needed please.

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?
Unique present ideas
Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?
The range of gift ideas - it has given me lots of ideas from websites I wouldn't usually think of, including gift experiences as well as physical gifts.
Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?
The suggested presents don't seem to relate to the likes / dislikes listed - it would be good to suggest presents relevant to the recipients' likes.
Q4. What features could you not live without?
Links to retailers' websites making it very easy to buy the suggested gifts.
Q5. Would you be interested in posting your own gift ideas to Gift Wink?
Yes, some of the best present ideas come from what others have recommended. It would be good for people to share their ideas.
Q6. Would you buy a gift from Gift Wink? If no, please tell us the main reason why
Yes, I've seen some great ideas for my youngest son's birthday in a few weeks.

Q8. Are there any comments or suggestions you'd like to share with Gift Wink?

Q1. How would you describe Gift Wink in a couple of words?

Quick and easy to use

Q2. What do you like most about Gift Wink?

I liked how it looked. I was a bit sceptical about it, because after all email reminders/online calendars have been around for years, and then of course there are good old paper calendars and diaries. But I quite liked the layout and how it linked to the gift suggestions. It's always useful to have some more present ideas for different ages.

Q3.If you could change one thing about Gift Wink what would it be?

I wasn't that keen on the gifts recommended for my sister (30s) - they all seemed to be quite generic stereotypically female gifts and it suggested a mum book even though she doesn't have any children.
