    I love this! As someone yet to finish my christmas shopping I needed to read this lol

    If you’re buying for any kids and don’t know what’s “in” at the moment, think about puzzles. I’m getting my 10 year old niece a Rubik’s cube. Makeup is good for a lot of teenage girls, and chocolate is good for anybody.

    If the person is an adult and you know for sure they drink alcohol, a nice bottle also usually goes down well.
