Tag stuff with your family members names... even products you know they currently have and enjoy. Then go here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/yourstore/tag/ (You can get recs on the items in a tag) You can also clean up your own recs by going here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/yourstore/iyr/ This feature is buried but it’s available at Amazon.

The recommendation feature is evident on so many websites, and I've realized similar problems. The tag system would help streamline the shopping experience, while making it much more diversified. I agree that the addition would help, and with Brad's demographic idea. All of these factors would greatly enhance Amazon's, and other similar services', capabilities. That makes perfect sense.

This is a simple fix and it would make the visit to amazon.com more relevant of what I am interested in buying today. Take a step further and I would not mind providing Amazon more information about the person I was shopping for (age, gender, likes..) so next time I am shopping for someone different, I can fill a few fields and Amazon could suggest gift ideas that other people have bought for someone else who meets similar criteria making my life easier!
