Broad doesn't have to mean generic

Even without knowing every detail of someone's taste, there's usually something you do know - a hobby, a habit, a thing he's mentioned once. Starting there beats reaching for whatever's safest and most forgettable.

For something more significant, don't cover it alone

If a few of you are getting something together rather than separately, a group pot means everyone chips in toward one gift worth giving, rather than several smaller ones that don't add up to much.
