And their new feature, the Gift Scout, takes the best of their reporting and recommendations and uses it to surface gifts for the most hard-to-shop-for people on your list.
All you have to do is type in a description of that person.
Like your parent who swears they don't want anything.
Or your brother-in-law who's a tech junkie.
Or your niece with a sweet tooth.
And the Gift Scout will scan through all of the products they've written about and come up with some relevant suggestions.
The more specific you make your requests, the better.
Even down to the age range.
Every single product you'll see is something they've written about.
So you can be confident that your gift has the Strategist seal of approval.

If you were a person online around the turn of the century, there's a good chance that AIM, AOL Instant Messenger, was crucially important to your social life.
For a whole generation of us, it's how we learned to LOL and LMAO and JK and BRB.
It's how we learned to be people online.
And this week on Version History, a new chat show about old technology, we're talking about the whole story of AIM, from its skunkworks era inside of AOL to its very sad death
at the hands of text messages.
All that on Version History, wherever you get podcasts.
You're listening to Today Explained.
I'm Ested Herndon.
This week, a headline in The New Yorker got my attention.
