I am a huge fan of giving gift experience vouchers to people, so they can choose a time, and venue that suits them. There are often reductions during the Black Friday promotions, so now is a good time to get them.
Other staple gifts I like to give are books. It's generally safer if you have an idea of the person's reading tastes if that's going to be what you buy.
I also like getting good quality scarves for people. This usually means something nice and cosy for the winter. I tend to avoid gloves, as you have to know what size their hands are.
I will buy toiletries, but I try not to just buy "smellies" as you never know if the scent will delight or disgust... so if I know someone uses a particular type of product, I will get that... I want to give a useful gift, that makes sense, rather than something that will go straight to the back of the cupboard... I'm also OK if they decide to re-gift (tastes change).
What I like about the type of gift I prefer to give is that you can set, and keep to, a budget per person.
What are your go to gifts at Christmas?
Do you set a budget for each person?
Or do you have a no-buy stance?
