Rather than pulling your hair out year after year trying to find the perfect gifts for your friends—which can turn out to be wasteful if the items are things they don’t actually need or like or fit—why not make a donation to a charity or support an underprivileged group in the name of your friends? That was one of the most thoughtful gifts I received years ago and I have adopted the practice as well.
