Show HN: GimmeGimme – Finding gifts for hard-to-shop-for people (opens in new tab)

Hi y'all, it's that time of year -- you're going to visit the in-laws and you have no idea what to get Uncle Bobby this holiday but you don't want to show up with something boring or generic. You want to find a gift that fits.

I scoured through hundreds of 2025 Holiday Gift Guides, and built a little workflow that combines some scraping, prompt chains, and embeddings that matches the description of a person with a set of gifts that might be a good fit for them. The lists persist, and you can remove items from them to get new suggestions and iterate on the lists until you find some options that make sense for you.

This was built mostly for fun, but full disclosure, there's Amazon Affiliate tags for the items presented.

I'm open to feedback. Hope this helps you find something unique for that person that's hard shop for.

Happy Thanksgiving, Tyler
