I'm pretty good with gifts.
For instance, my grandmother likes to do her own shopping but has no car. So she takes a cart to the store. Turns out her cart has a bunch of string around the tire because it split. I know this because I tied the string around it. Anyway I bought her a new cart with super wheels. She didn't ask for it but I know she'll love it because it's functional for her. She loves functional gifts.
My uncle, the crazy uncle of the family, keeps talking about his new breadmaker. So I went out and bought him a stainless steel breadbox for Christmas.
My sister likes to have people over for dinner sometimes. Women who like to have people over love to get dishes. I noticed she filled her gravy in a plastic jug so for Christmas I bought her a nice big porclain jug to fill with gravy.
Other people I just ask what they want and get it, but for the most part I try to hone in on something about them that they wouldn't otherwise think to ask about. I'm french like that.
