Fridge Raid vs Gift Sleuth
The short answer
Both pick one thing from clues you already have instead of handing you ten options. Fridge Raid works from what's in your fridge and picks tonight's dinner. Gift Sleuth works from what a person has said and done and picks a gift that fits your budget. Hungry and undecided, use Fridge Raid. Birthday on Saturday and no idea, use Gift Sleuth.
Fridge Raid
Paste what's in your fridge and cupboards, how long you have and who's eating. Get one dinner you can make tonight, using up what goes off first, with no extra shopping.
- You paste
- List what you have. Open the fridge and type what's in it, roughly. Add what's going off soon and the cupboard basics you have (pasta, rice, tins, spices). Rough notes are fine.
- You get
- What's left. Use the 3 eggs tomorrow: a quick frittata or eggs on toast. Nothing to buy tonight.
- When to use it
- Use it at 7pm when you've opened and closed the fridge twice, there's food that has to be eaten today, and you're one tap away from ordering delivery.
- When to skip it
- It doesn't know what's actually in your fridge or how fresh it is, it only uses your list. It can't judge if food is still safe to eat, so when in doubt, check it or throw it out. For serious allergies, read the labels yourself, it won't catch hidden ingredients.

Gift Sleuth
Paste what you know about the person: things they've said, hobbies, what they already own, and your budget. Get one gift tied to something they actually mentioned, plus two backups.
- You paste
- Collect the clues. Write down who it's for, the occasion and the date. Then everything you remember them saying lately, even small complaints. Those are the best hints.
- You get
- Backups and card. Backup: a big-button e-reader stand for the news, or a crossword book of the year. Card: 'For 6:30 with the dog. No more frozen hands.'
- When to use it
- Use it a few days before a birthday or the holidays, when you know the person well but every gift list online feels like it was written for someone else.
- When to skip it
- It only knows what you tell it, so a thin list gets a safe pick. It can't check prices, stock or delivery dates, the price ranges are rough guesses you need to check before you buy. It won't pick for someone you don't know at all, like a secret Santa with no clues.
