I used to hate getting socks and underwear when I was younger, now I love receiving those types of gifts.
Book... I really enjoy giving n receiving book as a gift as they are everlasting, give new insight, n always bring back memories...
I like giving hand made gifts, but nobody ever gives me any. I'd be happy with a batch of cookies. I also enjoy getting tools and materials to make things with. 1/8th inch plywood is top of my list this year. Things for my cat is also nice.
Gift will depend on your recipient. Personally, well as long as it's not anything I don't like. I wouldn't want decors cause I'd have to take care of them (there are people who likes them) EDIT: I doubt this thread will be very helpful for you without any background info.
Cold hard cash. Nothing like the good feeling of buying exactly what you know you want rather than others acting on the assumption that I like something. but this is just me being picky. I will like anything my friends gift me because it's already a miracle that they remember getting me something. Otherwise, just spending time together is fine too!
I like giving novelty items. Useless but fun things like Harry Potter music boxes. No idea if they like them but I do lol
The friend in particular that I need gift ideas for likes cats, cute things, room decor, and lotr/ hobbit.
Receiving Gifts: Amazon gift card Quicksilver pants Billabong, Hurly, Quicksilver and Vans shirts Sent Gifts: Handmade coupons for things - messages, chores and etc Jewelry Scarfs
Hmm sounds like cat plushies or lotr/figures are the better bets since they can also be displayed. Otherwise if he/she has a pet cat, buying things for the cat should work too. If he/she is into figurine painting etc, you can get equipment that he/she don't already have (require research)
Bitty Kitty likes adventures. Bitty Kitty thinks surprises like a massage or a shopping spree or a horse ride or a movie...spending time together is the greatest gift.
