Get curious and ask them!
•••
Totally agree that gift guides are (often) generic time wasters. My rec is to ask them what they want, let go of any notions about what makes an "acceptable" gift, and focus on whether it will get used. Bonus points if it relates to a hobby, which helps them feel seen. A couple examples: 1) My partner's dad (a Car Guy) put Kroil on his list a couple Christmases ago. I wouldn't normally consider $25 penetrating lubricant a gift, but he asked for it, so he received! 2) My dad has a new-ish hobby of replicating Impressionist paintings on empty wine bottles. I got him a couple used books about Impressionism and an Impressionist painting-a-day calendar so that he could tear off the pages and transfer the outlines (using the tracing paper I also gifted him) onto his medium of choice.
