We'd love to hear your feedback of the product! We're only shipping Spoils to NYC, but that doesn't mean you have to be from NYC to order. If you use the word "hackernews" in the "where you heard about us" section we'll take off $5 from your order!

Based on the colors chosen for the site (blue for the button - i.e., boys click the button - and pink for the title logo - i.e., the gift is for girls), the images (jewelry, women's shoes, a notebook that says "LOVE"), and the 'spoilee' suggestions (your lady crush, that girl at work), this site seems unfortunately and unnecessarily supportive of a heterosexual and outdated men-giveto-women gender binary.

I feel like if you made the imagery and wording more inclusive, you could have a really neat thing that appeals to a much broader audience of gift-givers.
