I’m building an AI gift finder to make gift shopping easier

Hey Indie Hackers,

I’m building Smart Gift Finder, a simple AI-assisted gift recommendation website.

I started working on it because gift shopping often feels harder than it should. Many people know they need a gift, but they get stuck scrolling through generic lists, sponsored roundups, or random product pages.

Smart Gift Finder exists to make that first step easier.

The idea is simple:

- Choose who the gift is for

- Pick the occasion

- Select a budget

- Add interests or gifting intent

- Get a shortlist of thoughtful gift ideas

I’m trying to keep the product practical and trustworthy:

- No fake reviews

- No fake ratings

- No “perfect gift guaranteed” claims

- Clear affiliate disclosures

- Budget-aware recommendations

- Simple guided flow instead of endless browsing

Right now I’m focused on validating whether the gift finder flow feels useful before scaling content or adding more automation.

I’d love feedback on:

1. Does the homepage explain the value clearly?

2. Is the gift finder flow simple enough?

3. Would you trust this kind of gift recommendation site?

4. What would make the experience more useful?

Here’s the gift finder:

Happy to return feedback on your project too.
