How we pick products.

We start with a real shopping problem and compare products on the practical differences that affect everyday use.

1. Start with the job

A page starts from a household problem, not from a product name. The question is which difference matters: the clear space beside a pipe, the width of a drawer, the size of a deck box, whether a mop has to go back to a bucket.

2. Require a real product page

We check the retailer destination before a product is named. The link has to be that item's own page. If the link is a search results page, the product is held and the guide does not mention it. A photo is required as well.

3. Keep one reason for each pick

A shortlist keeps an item only when it differs in a way the job cares about: size, capacity, material, or whether it can be used without drilling. Near-duplicate guides are not expanded. Their old addresses point at the parent guide.

4. Say what was not tested

Unless a guide explicitly says a product was used, the note is comparative: the retailer page, the stated size, and the visible rating and review count. Those numbers are the retailer's, not a score from AI Gifts. Nothing here is a hands-on lab test.

Prices and links

Prices and stock change. When a recently observed price is not available, the page says to check the price instead of repeating an old one. Some purchase options may pay a commission. A commission does not put a product into a guide, and a product without its own page is left out even if a commission is available.

The pages that carry these decisions are the guides. The catalog behind them is secondary.
