I get where you're coming from, but my wife did really appreciate a recommendation for a feminine hygiene product (menstrual cup) from a family member. We rarely recommend products of any sort, much less inexpensive products, but my wife has already recommended that product multiple times.
That said, I think it's a poor question. I wouldn't recommend a feminine hygiene product to my single, male friends, nor would I recommend that point and click adventure game to coworkers who mostly play competitive FPSs. I'll even recommend "bad" products if I think it'll fit whatever niche my friend wants to fill (e.g. that crappy screwdriver may not be good for screws, but maybe it's decent for an art project).
Maybe a better question is: would you buy this again if it was lost/stolen? As in, did this fill your need enough that you wouldn't look at other products?
“Would you recommend this to a parallel universe instance of yourself in a similar situation, who is not yet decided on a purchase?”
