For literally anyone: a gift card.
Yes, I know this is a hotly debated topic. I know that people think gift cards are “tacky” or aren’t “thoughtful enough”. However, I think that knowing you wouldn’t pick out something that that person would really want IS thoughtful. Why spend time stressing over an inevitably unwanted or useless present when you can give the person the freedom to find something they really want or will use? Personally, I don’t know a single person who wouldn’t love a gift card. Don’t believe me? Maybe Time Magazine will convince you:
