Is there any resource to tell you exactly which gifts are a waste of time and which ones are going to result in maximum gain?

Here's the full list. Gift level must be equal to or greater than the current affection level of your companion to yield the full bonus. For every level higher your companion is relative to the gift, the bonus they receive from it is halved. Green colored gifts yield the amount of affection shown below. Blue yield 50% more. I believe but am not certain that purple gifts yield 100% more.
Courting gifts only work for companions of the opposite sex.
Note that, short of someone posting on the auction house for way under price, it isn't cost effective to give your companion higher level gifts than they need, since it won't give them more affection than an equal-level gift. In fact, it's often more cost effective (if buying from vendors) to give them 2 gifts one level lower than their affection level than to give them one of the appropriate level.
