I found the categories useful, especially
the button which just helped me be more specific.
"I found the best use of the SoS Team was to get ideas from the one most like my partner who is sporty and bit of a man's man! Freddie... then I got ideas for myself from the Fashionistas!
"My wife likes the “personal” feel to the site and I am encouraging her to use it -just makes my lifer easier......"
"What I find really useful is the "what not to buy"...gave me confidence making purchases for friends - and the added bonus is quite a few of them are funny."
The basic wish list idea has been around for a while but the "preferences" make it more interesting and more useful all year round. Was unsure about the highlighter and icons at first but once I got the hang of them found them really useful.
