This holiday season I want to try my best to get my peeps stuff that’s actually useful to them, but the tricky part is going to be trying to figure out what they need without asking. I am still a very much element-of-surprise enthusiast, so this will be quite the challenge, hehOct 19, 2025

I feel thatttt, honestly I've found that a lot of the time when I ask ppl ahead of time what they want it'll still be a good surprise for them (even more so if it's more months ago)-- but then again I don't mind too much how much of a surprise it is as long as they like it lol

•Yeah, that's a struggle, gift buying for me though tends to be super easy, just get me some art-related stuff or a new notebook (in my ever growing collection...) and I’m happy. 
But what I’d recommend is to hang out with these people you need to buy gifts for and pay extra attention to whatever they seem attracted too. Making it even easier would be hanging out in a shopping center and see towards wich shops they gravitate.
Once I asked my father if we could go to a Lady Oscar expo, and then for Christmas he bought me the whole manga collection. I definetly didn’t expect it and was super happy !
I mostly think the important thing (besides intention) is showing you remember and care about the little details these people tell you : ) Good luck !
