I wanted to find gifts related to Doctor Who for my wife. (Shh, don’t tell her). At the prompt, I told Rufus simply to recommend gifts related to Doctor Who for my wife. In response, the assistant displayed a variety of products, including a bracelet, earrings, a Tardis plush blanket, a teacup, a travel bag, and more. I selected the plush blanket and asked Rufus to tell me more about it.
