So fellow rich people, you just sound like assholes. You don't like receiving gifts that are thoughtful? Not everything is about money.

I just don’t need anything. I hate buying a bunch of crap and getting a bunch of crap w will never be used.

Eh, we're far from rich, but I get what the PP is saying. At this point, anything useful that I want but don't have is outside the budget of a holiday gift. I would never ask my parents for a roomba or a new iPad.

OP - if you can't think of anything useful, go for consumables. Chocolate, coffee, tea, fruit baskets. If the person doesn't like it, they can take it to work to share with coworkers. At least it won't collect dust, take up space, or get thrown out.

My family is always losing umbrellas, so that's a useful gift (and they have such cute designs sometimes).

I like getting cooking sauces and mixes from places like Williams Sonoma. I'll almost always use them!

Either funny/rude socks (from Blue Q for example) or warm fuzzy socks for wearing around the house. I love socks!
