I can’t believe this didn’t occur to me before. I’ve been trying to come up with a good system of sharing gift ideas with my family for quite a while. I wrote a static page to do that at one point, but it’s proven to be a bit of a pain to keep updated. This idea fits much more easily into the “stream of work” as I surf the web. Combine it with Firefox’s del.icio.us extension and it’s a no-brainer.

1) As I’m surfing, if I see something that might make a good gift for someone, I tag it with the following: their name, “giftidea”, and the upcoming occasion (if I have one in mind). Later when I’m ready to buy I can browse or search my tags and find ideas easily.
