> Google just dropped its Holiday 100 gift list - are the trending picks actually good buys or just search hype?

> Google released its Holiday 100 today, the most-searched gifts of the year. Lymphatic face brushes are up 400%, kitten heel sandals up 295%, podcast mics up 115%, toy train sets up 240%. I need gifts for four people and my budget is tight. Has anyone actually bought one of these search-spike gifts and found it worth the money, or is this just a list of whatever went viral?

> Check the price history before trusting the spike

> A 400% search spike tells you people are curious, not that the price is good. Run the exact product through a price tracker first - half the Holiday 100 items I checked are sitting at their normal price with a holiday badge on top. The podcast mic is the one exception: $99 mics genuinely drop to $69 most Novembers.
