This should make your Christmas shopping easier. You feed in the personal characteristics of the giftee (romantic, adventurous, brainy, imaginative, funny) and hit the Go button. It gives you six suggestions, all of which, by coincidence (it's eerie!) can be purchased at Borders. Here's what it picked out for me:
Books:
Confronting Reality - Larry Bossidy
One of those Total Quality Management thingees. No thanks.
Bringing Tuscany Home -- Frances Mayes
As much as I'd love to redecorate the house in "Sensuous Style from the Heart of Italy," it'd probably involve work.
Exporting America - Lou Dobbs
I hate Lou Dobbs.
DVD:
The Poseidon Adventure
Shelley Winters AND cheesy special effects! What's not to love?
Music:
Diane Krall - The Girl In The Other Room
Ehh.
Ashlee Simpson - Autobiography
You've got to be kidding me.
So there you have it. The Giftmixer 3000. Why do I get the impression it's just a random-number generator that points to various items in Borders' remaindered catalog?
