Ask Lemmy

Apologies.

If you know what their interests and hobbies are at the moment, then get equipment and other stuff related to those. Books and craft supplies are often good ideas. A giftcard to a store they often visit is always nice. A nice mug is a good gift for many people, because it's useful and beautiful. For kids, you can ask them what's their favorite animal, and then get them a plushie of that animal. They'll probably love it. Getting them a trendy toy (such as a Squishmallow rn) can also be good. If you still have no idea what someone wants, then you can get them a nice card with some cash and maybe some candy.

Mostly getting my wife and kids "experience" gifts this year, rather than physical things. Nobody needs or wants much, so instead I'm getting tickets to concerts, plays, musicals, comedy shows, etc.

I don't have a "family" in a common sense of understanding like parents, wife, kids and stuff, but I have a girlfriend of 7 years living together and that's pretty much it. Gonna be rather simple as we don't generally bind giving presents to certain dates, and we usually discuss specifics prior so nobody gets something one doesn't need or want.

I offered her a catalogue of some interesting jewelry and cool watch but she is kinda reluctant, "doesn't look too practical" to her. So we just agreed that she's gonna look into some new mobile phone in January whenever something interesting is out, and if she likes it (she likes doing random photography so a good phone camera is a good idea), I'm gonna buy it for her. That's why I love her - straight to the point and considers usefulness in daily routines.

"Elements" by Euclid. Together with a mug printed with the graphics from the title page.

They're so far away I probably won't, sadly.

Colouring books! The wife, mother, and mother-in-law all find it therapeutic so they get that. Father and father-IL get booze. Brother gets a happy Xmas text as we stopped exchanging gifts years ago.

Fossil watch, they have some nice minimal deaigns

Socks because most people like socks.

Olive oil with trums, about 10$ for a bottle and you onley need so little to make any dish more exciting

Try with home decor, a plant or a good lamp is always a good gift.

Hori Hori knife for any gardeners that you know.

Dad - a planer and bacon of the month club. Mom - athletic clothes and reservations for afternoon tea. I'm also buying tickets to an escape room for all of us to do together. Trying to give fewer gifts and spend more on activities that will bring us all together
