    Ah well.... I don't suppose I'd be complaining if my list did win, and it didn't have a Wii U on it, eh! Grumble over!

    Maybe they have dropped it from the list because it isn't available for home delivery (sales have been very poor and it is now being sold below cost by Nintendo and if that and a sales boost from some new games don't help there is speculation the console maybe dropped)

    I got the Wii U once. I think it was for male 18-25. Never had it since though. :(

  • Well I don't know what I am doing wrong but I cannot believe the amount of "kitchen gadgets" that I keep getting for males. I am sure my darling hubby or brother in law would be absolutely delighted (not) to receive a blender, a liquidiser, an air fryer, kettle or toaster :rotfl:

    I have never seen the Wii on any of the options and I try various ages, and preferences? I just want a TV and even that option was not there tonight. But oh yes I could have a mixer in a variety of different colours :(

  • Thanks for all your comments. I just choose a different age range for everyone and then the top price bracket which gives a good range of prizes.

    Will keep choosing the Xbox One as my son keeps telling his friends he is getting one for Christmas :rotfl:

    Good luck to everyone! :)

    I'm a little baffled by the fact I keep getting offered some sort of blender as an option for my 0-18 year old sons!!!
    I have three lads so they all come into the same category (age and gender) all that ever seems to come up is tellies, laptops and blenders!!!
  • Oh and I forgot to add to that list of "mens" prizes was vacuum cleaners which also comes up every time as well ;)

    I got offered the wii u for the first time yesterday for a 35-50yo female. Does seem quite random though as my 0-18yo nephew keeps getting offered a hoover! Ive noticed that sometimes the feet up/clean up type options are different from others even though I always put the same age, sex and budget each time.

    I tried this and I got the Wii U up for first time. However, I've tried the same again with this category a dozen times since and cannot get it up again. It's just silly.

    Either the 'this or that' options make a difference to the choices offered, or there's a random element. I did two entries today that were the same names, genders, and ages, but the first one I picked among the 'high score/high tweet' etc choices and the second one I just clicked done without moving the sliders at all. They weren't significantly different prize pools, but different enough that I noticed.
