Gifting Things Vs Non-Things

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.
