    Giftcards....why bother?
    Clothes....they could look horrible or you could really offend someone by getting the wrong size.
    (my aunt one time got me either an XL or an XXL....I was a medium)
    Jewelery...unless they point out the exact one odds ar eyou dont know the persons taste.
    Am I alone here? Is that it?
    Am I the only one who sees.

    Maybe we can learn to be just like him.
    Wear a little uniform.
    Yes, sir.
    No, sir.
    Thank you, sir.

    If you dont at least get something small in addition to the duster that you thought of yourself...probably

    Digital Photo Frames (as gifts).

    If they had better-quality displays, I might have considered grabbing one for myself, but otherwise no.

    My girlfriends mom cornered me last year into getting her a vacuum for her birthday. I had to have another gift ready to explain why I got stuck getting her two gifts to please her crazy mom.

    I'm sad to report that she uses the vacuum far more often than the backup gift: a nice Bluetooth fm device for her cell phone and car.
