A vote of thanks to the 'baron'. Have been looking for this a while now but wasn't sure how to code it. Saved me a lot of head scratching. As I wasn't sure on where to put the file I did the following.
Saved it as gift-finder.tpl directly in the skin1 folder.
Modded the home.tpl in the skin1/customer folder to put it under the categories with.

{include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
<br />
{/if}
{include file="gift-finder.tpl" }
<br />

And it worked right out of the box.

Many thanks
