shopping is hard to do

we spent hours today looking for great gifts for friends of someone whom we're staying with soon. man. it's so hard to buy for people we don't really know.

- we want the gifts to mean something
- we don't want to get a gift that people get and go "what in the world were they thinking"?
- we don't want to get a gift that you use, you throw
- to certain cultures, a red money-envelope is a no-no.
- apparently store gift cards are thoughtless gifts...

*sigh*

books are easy, but what do people like reading? what inspires them? what would they like to learn?

do we *really* know? wouldn't it just be easier asking them what our friends and family would like for a gift? instead of surprise gifts that we don't really treasure?

what do you guys think?
