I love stuff like this.<p>It brings back a bit of the serendipity that we&#x27;ve lost on the web due to the quality of a certain search company&#x27;s algorithms.<p>See also: Random Shopper — <a href="http://randomshopper.tumblr.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;randomshopper.tumblr.com</a> — and the Random Amazon Product Generator — <a href="http://thanland.com/projects/random-amazon/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;thanland.com&#x2F;projects&#x2F;random-amazon&#x2F;</a> (disclosure: my site)

This totally reminds me of this XKCD comic: <a href="http://xkcd.com/576/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;xkcd.com&#x2F;576&#x2F;</a><p>Also, this comic explains - if it was really totally random - why it might not be the best idea ;)

How does it randomize the gift choosing? Algorithm or hand-picked?
