Shopping for presents is supposed to be a very pleasant activity. You go to the mall, pick out something that you would like your friend or family member to have and imagine the look of excitement, appreciation or humor on their face as they open up your gift. But there are times when shopping for gifts becomes much of a chore because it takes up too much time and effort. Why? Because if it’s a gift for friends and family with whom you are not too close, and there is no ‘wish list’ to aid you, it is actually very difficult to find an appropriate gift. Here are simple and somewhat general gift suggestions:

• Sweets. One could hardly go wrong with chocolates or pastries. If for any weird reason, the receiver does not turn out to have a sweet tooth your present would still be enjoyed by his friends and family when he shares it with them.

• Wine. A simple table wine or sherry would do, so long as it (at least) satisfies your taste. It is okay to give hard drinks like Scotch and Whisky if the recipient is a guy.

• Pens and other stationery. Stick with classic and simple designs and you can never go wrong with these.
