Social media has been able to smoothly incorporate itself into society, and what better way to blend itself into the spirit of the season than with holiday gift ideas? Etsy has created an application on Facebook that can pinpoint exactly what your friends "like" and what they can get for the holidays.
How so? The application runs on your account and can track all your friends "likes," categorizing and sorting them to track down a trend that could turn into a gift idea. This is a more personalized way to shop for friends and family and will make holiday gift ideas even more creative!
