- TD GiftFinder on TD Money Lounge helps Facebook fans stay on budget and find the perfect gifts -

TORONTO, Dec. 2, 2011 /CNW/ - To help Canadians stay on budget and find the perfect gift this holiday season, TD Canada Trust has launched an application on Facebook to simplify gift giving.  The TD GiftFinder application on TD Money Lounge suggests unique holiday gifts for friends and family based on your budget and a few simple questions.

"One of the hardest things about holiday shopping is sticking to a budget. TD GiftFinder is a simple and fun app that we think can help Canadians find great holiday gifts for their friends and family without overspending," says Joanna Pitcher, Associate Vice President, Everyday Banking, TD Canada Trust.

Here's how it works:

1. Set your total holiday gift budget
   
   
2. Select the Facebook friends you are shopping for and assign a budget range for each person
   
   
3. The application then generates various gift giving categories  and recommends gifts based on your selections
   
   
4. A gift list is generated, customized to your budget and friend list
   
   
5. Print or email the gift list, or save it on Facebook to view any time

The TD GiftFinder app on Facebook taps into a database of tens of thousands of gifts to generate unique and thoughtful holiday gift ideas tailored to your friends and family. And, if you still can't decide on that perfect gift for a friend, select the option to randomly generate a gift and help narrow down your search.
