View original postWho is your most difficult gift target?

I guess it would have to be the only person I'm supposed to get a gift for, by default - an aunt of mine, since the Christmas party on that side of the family is the only one involving real gifts, and we draw names. Have to say I'm harbouring slightly murderous and very much un-Christmas-spirit-like feelings towards the other aunt who apparently persuaded everyone that the wishlists we used to share were a bad idea and killed originality. Much better to have to buy gifts without any hints for people you see once a year, obviously. After all, we wouldn't want present-buying to be easy, or people to get presents that they actually want, now would we?

I guess at least I can go back to older wishlists and try to get some inspiration from there...

As for the specific difficulty of in-laws, though, surely John can help with that?
