By Relationship

The closer the person, the more personal the gift can be. A partner can get jewelry or a weekend away; a mother-in-law is better served by something for the home or an experience for both parents. Every guide here is split by the kind of person they are, not by price.

Start with Mom, Dad, your wife or your husband; for kids and teens see son and daughter. Each guide lists what not to give, such as anything that reads as a hint about age or appearance.
