I think the site has a number of above average points. Segmentation in the navigation allows selection by a lot of search criteria, above average. Picture are nice and big, however I would suggest expanding on the descriptions. For instance, when a user clicks on the thumbnail, add an equivalent amount of extra description to go with the larger picture.
If you are testing ease of use or any interaction criterion (desirability, information, etc), try a different kind of post. Post a dummy account (or accounts) with specific tasks. This way those giving you a review can based that review on how (if) a task was completed.
Tasks can be "Find a suitable gift for smothing over a workplace spat between [giver profile] and [recipient profile]." Or task someone to add five items to a cart, then remove two. And run this from selection to final shipping. In fact, you could set up a task to clear up some sort of order problem.
All these things have some chance of turning up real information. So much so, if you don't get it on the forum, you should look into setting up a test where you sit people down and observe them in person.
The site looks good. Is that going to translate into actionable information for you to improve or find problems with the site -- probably not. That's why you have to apply some basic interaction test methodology to your post. It's the only way to get real information.
