Gift Giving

This is the sort of thing though you won't likely find in professional medical websites about autism. ...lol. Though whether it really does reflect an autistic trait I have no idea! But is always amusing to find others with the same "eccentricities" others have here. ;)
Totally!!
 
With the people I'm closest to I ask them what they would like and tell them what I would like. Its the symbolism of gift giving that I value.
If surprises are important then a shortlist is necessary.

Otherwise, I find the process of stepping into others shoes to imagine what they would like as a gift at Christmas a headache, and opt for acceptable generic items like toiletries, wine, candles, chocolate, or a personalised item/cup/cushion with a photo.
 
I enjoy giving gifts like looking for appropriate, Gave my sister a coffee mug today she is a geologist mug had list of what it takes with final line you are a Rock star. I never gift money fun finding the right gift, Next week I give a good female friend a surround sound system for her TV, 65 birthday appropriate gift for her. WIfe on board immediately when I told her months ago plus it's our 45 wedding anniversary and she was one of my wife's bridesmaids
