What do you think makes something a good present? Like a birthday present. You're supposed to give somebody a thing they'd really like, right? And if you don't know what they'd like, you ask them about it and maybe they tell you.

What if they tell you the stuff they like and you don't like it? Because you think it's not a good present or whatever. Does that make it a bad present?

If you're the person being asked what you want for your birthday, are you supposed to not ask for stuff that would make people feel bad about giving it to you?

...Also, why do people give each other presents on Christmas instead of giving them to Jesus? It's not everyone else's birthday on Christmas.

I mean I guess maybe it's some people's but it's not everybody's who gets presents on Christmas.

...And why isn't "Happy Birthday" a Christmas carol, then?

Whatever. Give 'em money.

You're not supposed to do that. Money's a boring present.

Alright then, feel guilty for getting them a crappy gift then.

Isn't that still better than not getting them anything?

Money isn't nothing. You use money for everything.

Look, no one's going to give you good advice because they don't know who the gift is for, and with how many people it looks like are on here they probably don't know you either. You should just give yourself a second and then go with the first thing you think of. If they are actually ~~your friend~~ close enough to you to matter, they'll probably like it no matter what it is.

Stressing out over it will just make you do something stupid. Or put it off until the last minute and end up with crap. Or money.

You said if you don't know somebody well enough then you shouldn't bother. So if you're not bothering, then that means you're getting them nothing, right?

I meant if you don't know them well enough you're probably not really friends to start with and shouldn't do something just because you feel obligated to.

Okay, but what if you know them really well and you're getting them something because you want to, but you still don't know what to get?

What if they don't like anything, but you still want to get them something?
