Things
- Consumables
- Alcohol, snacks, etc.
- Hobby/Interest Related Items
- Elevated Items
- Items that they might already have, but in a higher quality
- Something that they need/want, but wouldn’t buy themselves
Non-Things
- Experiences
- Concert Tickets
- Vacation/Trip
- Charitable Donation
- Cash
- No Gift
- As long as you talk it out with the person, I think that it can be acceptable to not give a gift to someone for whatever occasion for whatever reason. However, it is with the general understanding that you want to give a gift and that if you find something that they want, you would get it for them.
