Need a little help picking that perfect holiday present this year?

Yoox.com has just the thing for you. The online retailer has just released the Yoox.com Style Gift Guide app which allows you to explore the site's on-trend offerings, making giving a great gift a little bit easier.

In addition, you're able to ship gifts to friends and family around the world (Spain, United States, Russia and Japan).

Once you download the app, all you have to do is fill out an interactive questionnaire that lets you pick items, be it fashion, home design or exclusive yoox.com products.

Questions include budget, shipping preference and whether you prefer something handmade. Everything will then be organized into themes and displayed.

Starting mid-November, you'll also be able to find and purchase exclusive special editions of several items, like the Maison Martin Margiela Artisanal one-off pieces or the "Tenochtitlan" candelabra in white designed by Vittorio Locatelli for Driade Kosmo.

This is the second major holiday gift guide app to be released this month. Department stores like Macy's and Bon-Ton have come together with magazines including Cosmo and Seventeen to create a unified guide/shopping experience, according to Women's Wear Daily.

Like the Lucky at Your Service app, the NearbyNow Holiday Gift Guide allows readers to buy online or look for local retailers, contact those retailers to see if an item is available and reserve if it is.

Yes, technology is getting cooler everyday. But old-fashioned style is still important. Take a look at these fancy iPhone and Mac holders from Mulberry.
