This post is brought to you by Rendezvous. All opinions are my own.
I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’m struggling to come up with great gift ideas for the people on my list more and more every year. My son is older now and has a list filled with gamer gear, so I’m a bit out of touch with what “in” when it comes to toys for my young niece and nephew. My mom can never think of anything she wants and my brother’s tastes are so different from mine. I love giving gifts, but shopping for them has gotten a bit stressful over the years! I rely heavily on recommendations from friends and other bloggers, so I appreciate anything that makes getting those recommendations easier. The Rendezvous Facebook Messenger AI bot is definitely one very cool tool that does just that!
Get Recommendations Easily with Rendezvous
Rendezvous is unlike any recommendations app I’ve ever tried before. I’m sure you’ve heard people say that about other apps, but trust me, this one is totally different. It runs completely through your Facebook Messenger app. As long as you have a device compatible with that, you can use it. There’s nothing else to download or install. I use it on my PC and my IPad. You don’t even need to start at a specific link. Just open up your Messenger app and search “Rendezvous” to get started.
Once you’re there, use Rendezvous to get recommendations from the people you trust most: your friends and family. Say you want to find a few great book recommendations. Open up Rendezvous and type in something along the lines of “I want recommendations for young adult books.” Rendezvous will confirm the category and request. From there, you can share your request with specific family and friends that you trust the most in that category. I know which of my friends like the same books that I do. I’d rather get a few perfect recommendations from them than have to parse through tons of recommendations from people with completely different tastes in books.
Likewise, when it comes to holiday toy recommendations, I want to get ideas from friends and family who currently have young kids or grandkids. People who know what’s hot and what’s not right now.
When the recommendations come in, you can easily go through them and click “like,” “dislike” or “view.” By liking or disliking, you can improve your recommendations and curate your own gift guide. If you have some ideas in mind, click on the “Recommend” button and add a few ideas of your own to the collection.
You can also share your collection with another friend. My mom is on the hunt for great gift ideas for my niece and nephew, so I shared the toys and games collection with her. She can build on the guide by liking, disliking and making more recommendations.
Since Rendezvous is a totally new recommendation experience, there is a bit of a learning curve. Once you get going, it is pretty intuitive, but I’m still discovering new things about using it. It’s definitely a fun way to get great gift ideas for everyone on your list! Check it out and start gathering awesome recommendations from your friends & family! Click here to learn more!
What types of recommendations would you ask for from your friends?
i love the ideas of these gifts for friends. i am always looking for great unique gifts that they will enjoy.
Rendezvous looks like a great app in helping find the right gifts for those on our lists — what a neat idea, and easily accessible as well.
I always try to find thoughtful, unique gifts for family and friends, which gets harder as the children on my list get older, or I just plain run out of ideas for the adults or older children/teens. I may have to give the app a try.
Ooh, Rendevous sounds like a great tool, especially during the holiday season. I’m with you, I would rather buy products that I know my friends and family recommend that just blindly purchasing something. Definitely checking it out!
omg, I love this! It’s soo cool! Great tool for this holiday season!
I always ask for gift suggestions for my dad and fiance. It’s difficult to think of things to give to male because I almost know what females want. Rendezvous might help me with it. I hope it’s easy to navigate through.
Wow, this is so great! I had never heard of Rendezvous before but it seems like such a great way to find new gift ideas, especially going into the holiday season! Definitely trying it!
Ive never heard of rendezvous before! It definitely seems like it would be handy especially during the holidays where it can be overwhelming to find the right gift. Ive have a high wish list this year and Will be checking this out for sure!
It never ceases to amaze me how different apps there are out there! This would be great to suggest gifts and buy gifts for others.
Sounds like a fun app. Very clever. I’m so surprised by how many helpful apps there are out there. I’m a reader so I could use it for some ideas for reading.
This is the 1st time I’ve heard of this app! It looks really cool! Will surely try this this coming holiday season 😀
Finally I won’t have an excuse for not getting my friends presents.
