Ah, Christmastime. It’s the time of year when we moms start running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trolling websites and scouring store aisles for those perfect gifts for our families. But try as they might, our spouses aren’t always as attentive to the not-so-subtle hints we drop about our perfect gifts.
So this year, I decided to “leave nothing to chance.” I’ve had my eye on something sparkly, and Blue Nile, the largest online retailer of fine jewelry, has never disappointed me in the past. So when I found their Leave Nothing to Chance app to target each woman’s personal preferences, I knew I had found the answer. This unique app, accessed via their website, asks a series of questions that help determine your personal style. Then, they combine your answers with information from your Facebook profile to create a personalized “infographic” for you, as well as recommending several jewelry items based on your persona.
I was amazed at how quickly and easily the app gained information about me, and then used it to offer gift suggestions. I knew this was just what my loving but clueless husband needed to find me the perfect Christmas gift. So I sent him the link, and now I know I won’t be disappointed this Christmas!

Great idea everyone loves a little bling
It’s okay, not sure I’d use it
I think it is a great app
I like this app because it helps me determine my style and helps me to pick out the kind of jewelry that fits me.
I think it looks like fun, and would be helpful in finding more things I would like.
I think the app is pretty neat. Sometimes though I think that our style isn’t necessarily determined by our personality, but it does help to see examples and suggestions!
I suppose its harmless, but I just dont care for the idea of allowing apps in particular access to my info like that, maybe Im paranoid, certainly facebook already gives more info out to whomever requests it already than is needed. That said I suppose the app has its purpose, It does appear to take a lot into consideration and does in fact “leave nothing to chance”. I hope you get what you want for Christmas.
i think we need more jewelry apps but i dont like when they suggest jewelry for me- they dont know me but i do like how easy it is to use.
I think the app is a great idea and very useful!
It was fun to use -I am boss to be thanks for theg iveaway
The app is funny – decent idea
It looks like an appealing app.
It’s neat!
I think the app is going at creating some ideas.
I think it is pretty helpful…a keeper since I’m not great at figure out things for my partner.
Like it, makes giving easier
I really enjoyed using the app! The responses to my answers were pretty funny at times and I thought my result was pretty accurate….I’m a Timeless Original!
I used the app and it gave me many great examples of jewelry that I might like. It did a great job!
The app seems useful but my phone is already so full I’m not sure if I would use it enough.
I thought it was fun to use.
It looks easy to use.
The app is cute for gift ideas.
I had fun with the quiz but I’m not sure how accurate it is at predicting taste. I got Queen Bee and I don’t know if that’s really me. Most Blue Nile jewelry is simple and stylish, though. Hard to go wrong.
It’s creative and funny.
Thanks for the chance!
its a fun app ! not only the questions were funny with statements but I did like what it came up to..
I’m Daniela and I’m such a Boss-To-Be
Any any app that helps with Christmas shopping is great in my opinion.
I think that it is a great idea, especially to make sure you get something you want.
It is a fun app and while I didn’t love all of the pieces it chose for me, they were all nice and one piece was exactly what I would pick for myself, so I would use the app.
Looks like a fun way to discover your personal style.
I like this app! Very neat!
I like this app, I love the ability to customize
I think the app was fun. It was neat to see some of the options that I might like.
I think the app looks very interesting!
Im done entering contests on this site, I can never find a winner post anywhere. These application are set up to be able to display the name of the randomly selected winner, Why they are not configured that way be the person running the giveaway is beyond me. Its extremely annoying to have to come back to the same page day in and day out to see if a winner was selected yet. I Go to your facebook page and still find nothing regarding any winners for any current giveaways. I will not tweet, share, pin or promote this blog to any of my friends or anyone else, just to save them from the same headaches.
