It was so much fun putting mine together! It’s filled with things I use or have, or wish I did! Colourful Gifts for Kids, Teens & Adults - with items from the EU, UK & US... and a very important bonus gift idea at the very end. Enjoy :-)!
Adam Grant has a book that breaks people down into givers, matchers, and takers. I think that as a rule one should be a giver not a taker, but nuances apply: sometimes receiving can be a form of giving and if you give and give you'll get burnt out, so it's good sometimes to match. Balancing generosity and reciprocity isn't always easy. Great work has been done on the anthropology of gift giving (good time to read about it vis a vis "secret santa" and the like) by Marcel Mauss. I'd recommend the Gift by Lewis Hyde, which is a beautiful book about art as a gift that inspires us to give. We discuss gift giving and philosophy on our Chronicles WhatsApp group
I've got one that rounds up gifts with your face on them (meaningful gifts), games everyone will like, my fave subscriptions (ie. last minute gifts), and then random gifts that are cool for a lot of people (like your hairdresser): https://karakull.substack.com/p/wsuas-3-what-i-wont-shut-up-about
Especially timely, since my latest post is a last-minute gift guide with ideas that are low-impact and way more thoughtful than some random doodad form Amazon.
The Soloist has a Gift Guide for tabletop roleplaying and boardgame players. It's currated by 30 indie game designers and includes not jus t games, but books and accessories to enhance play!
