I know some people are a pain to shop for because I'm one of them. I've been told countless times that it creates stress looking for a gift for me. Maybe the person isn't forthcoming in what kinds of things they might want or need. Or, maybe the person seems to buy things they want as soon as they see them, instead of waiting. I won't comment on which category I fall into.

It's also getting harder to shop for people if you don't know what phone they use or what kind of technology they may be comfortable setting up. So instead of recommending things that take intimate knowledge of someone's daily habits, a good chunk of these items should work for even casual acquaintances. There should also be at least a few suggestions that work for men, women, kids and parents.
