Frankly, with the exception of people who are very close to me and actually know what I would appreciate, I don't like gift exchanges that much in the first place... Just a good way to end up with things you don't want but feel guilty about getting rid of.

That's why I always give consumable gifts - chocolate or wine or whatever.

Gift giving is not about changing a person's life forever, or shouldn't be. Its making them smile on the day. That's it. If they're entertained or please I knew what they liked or just hungry, I've succeeded and the gift has succeeded.
