Some people are impossible to shop for. They have the gadgets, the socks, the salt lamp and the banana phone. The answer is not another safe gift.
Start with the person’s obsessions. Alien-inspired finds and collectibles bring a little outer-space energy. Ugly sweaters make a holiday party louder. Tees with no chill give a favorite joke a place in the wardrobe.
For the collector, miniature die-cast cars, figures and wall pieces make a shelf feel personal. For the home bartender, a decanter, unusual glassware or a sign gives the bar a proper point of view.
The best gifts do not try to work for everyone. They make one person say, “That is extremely me.”
