Get help with holiday shopping with ClayValet
My friend Mikhail just opened his new company, ClayValet, to the public.
ClayValet is a new service that simplifies online shopping. How it works is you tell them what you're looking for, in plain English, and then real people/shoppers will scour the Internet on your behalf. They read customer reviews, compare prices and find expert opinions to decide which products would best fit your needs. They then put their findings in a clear report and send it to you within 24 hours of your request.
Here's a request that I made:
And, here you can see the ClayValet GPS Response (I'd paste it here, but it's too long, detailed and awesome!
Finally, they're looking for feedback -- so, as you try the ClayValet shopping service, please use the feedback forms (at the bottom of every page) to tell them what you think.

A GPS device that I can take with me when I travel and then use in rental cars to help guide me (with voice prompts), make suggestions (avoid traffic, find cheap gas) and save me time. Ideally, I'd like to spend <$300, but if the price point is really higher than that, I'd love to see other well-rated products.
