59 Of The Most Interesting Things People Received As Gifts

Still, you can usually get some hints about what a person would like if you know them at least a little bit. Erica Cerulo, the co-host of the A Thing or Two podcast, told Vox that there are three gift-giving boxes that might give you some direction about what to gift a person.

1. Can I introduce someone to something they might not otherwise know about?
2. Can I get them a nicer version of something than they would buy for themselves?
3. Or can I make them feel seen?

Another strategy, often used for giving presents to kids, is the five gift rule. Some choose to give one gift from each category, but if you're gifting to a colleague or an acquaintance, choosing one from each category would suffice.

1. Something they want.
2. Something they need.
3. Something to wear.
4. Something to read.
5. Something they don't know they need.
