I don't have a "family" in a common sense of understanding like parents, wife, kids and stuff, but I have a girlfriend of 7 years living together and that's pretty much it. Gonna be rather simple as we don't generally bind giving presents to certain dates, and we usually discuss specifics prior so nobody gets something one doesn't need or want.

I offered her a catalogue of some interesting jewelry and cool watch but she is kinda reluctant, "doesn't look too practical" to her. So we just agreed that she's gonna look into some new mobile phone in January whenever something interesting is out, and if she likes it (she likes doing random photography so a good phone camera is a good idea), I'm gonna buy it for her. That's why I love her - straight to the point and considers usefulness in daily routines.

"Elements" by Euclid. Together with a mug printed with the graphics from the title page.

They're so far away I probably won't, sadly.

Try with home decor, a plant or a good lamp is always a good gift.

Colouring books! The wife, mother, and mother-in-law all find it therapeutic so they get that. Father and father-IL get booze. Brother gets a happy Xmas text as we stopped exchanging gifts years ago.

Dad - a planer and bacon of the month club. Mom - athletic clothes and reservations for afternoon tea. I'm also buying tickets to an escape room for all of us to do together. Trying to give fewer gifts and spend more on activities that will bring us all together

This is what my wife and I do. We don't buy presents. We go do an experience together!
