A typical problem before the New Year, birthday and any holiday: you need to give something to family and friends, but what is not clear. It will help - a smart service that selects gifts according to the VKontakte profile.

Ah-ah-ah, I already have plenty of things to do, even these gifts! Maybe get off with souvenirs?

Better not. Firstly, it is banal: before the last New Year, most Russians were going / ref] to give their friends and family souvenirs and toys.

Secondly, souvenirs are probably the most useless gift you can think of. Their fate is sad: such things are usually redirected or hidden away so that they do not once again catch the eye.

Finally, let's be honest: the joy of magnets and figurines in the form of a symbol of the coming year is about zero. If you give, then a good and useful thing that will evoke real emotions and will not gather dust on the shelf.

And how to find out who dreams of what? If I ask, there will be no surprise

That's right, here you have to act more subtly. Your friend probably has a VKontakte page - that's enough to pick up a cool gift.

And no, we do not propose to follow the likes and reposts of a friend, trying to understand what he is hinting at - all this will do. The service is based on a neural network that analyzes the profile and selects gift ideas for a person's interests.

All you need to do is go to and enter the address of the person's profile on the VKontakte social network. The neural network will examine its page and provide a list of ideas. The catalog contains 100,000 gifts - only original and useful gizmos, no ceramic pigs and mugs with snowflakes.

The service interface does not have complex filters and categories like “a gift to mom / grandfather / boss”. The creators of Goody Bag are convinced that a gift should be individual: every mother has her own hobbies, for which you can choose something more interesting than a frying pan or a set of knives.

Among the ideas come across truly unexpected things: a pot-column for flowers, a digital pen that stores everything you write in memory, or a hat with a built-in Bluetooth headset to answer calls without taking your phone out of your pocket. You see them and you understand: I would not have thought of this in my life.

And if I already know what my friend is fond of?

Then it's even easier. Under the avatar of the person for whom you are looking for a gift, there is a list of his interests according to artificial intelligence. In the search settings, choose the one that you think interests your friend the most and see what Goody Bag has to offer.

For example, if a person is fond of creating videos, a quadrocopter and an action camera will come in handy, a music lover will be pleased with bone conduction headphones, and a movie fan cannot do without a smartphone projector with which you can watch movies anywhere, there would be a flat wall.

Artificial intelligence can identify up to 90 interests and select a list of gifts for each. You can choose one hobby or several at once to get a gorgeous gift set.

works even with closed profiles. In this case, the service selects 10 popular gifts for each interest.

Okay, I picked the presents. And where to buy them later?

Click on any gift - a card with its description and a link to the store will open. You can immediately follow it and place an order.

If you find something interesting and want to save the idea, click on the gift icon. The selected item will go to the bag - the storage of the items you like.

So you can first find gifts for all your friends, and then proceed to checkout. So that you don't get confused about who you are going to give what, each product is equipped with a person's avatar.

I have no money for expensive gifts. Anything suitable?

No problem. Set up a price range - for example, no more than 500 rubles - and more. So you can choose good and inexpensive gifts for friends if you will celebrate the New Year in a large company, or for colleagues if you decide to play Secret Santa at work.

Within 300 rubles, we found a USB lamp with a flexible stem, a silicone tea strainer and a collapsible bottle - especially for those who remember to drink water regularly. Little things, but much more pleasant and useful than a Christmas tree toy of dubious beauty or a dull desk calendar.

Before the New Year, there are too many worries to spend time looking for gifts. Cross it off your to-do list - it will help you choose unusual gifts in three clicks.
