I’m finding it increasingly hard to find things for people. I only have my two brothers, my brothers gf, their two kids, and mom and dad but I really am having a hard time after all these years. Is it safe to just go the gift card route for once?
 
Cash is better than a gift card unless it's to a unique place or for an experience they probably wouldn't go to without that little push.
 
Think of all the ghost of Christmas sweaters/socks past.

Cash or card is easiest.

I do cash/gift cards primarily

Except to a kid, because they basically like any toy (car, gun, dino)

My parents who don't really celebrate holidays, I just bring some good food over

Just buy them a couple's holiday candy gift. Unless she is super cool and possible sister in law then she can get her very own holiday candy lol.
 
If you're getting a gift card, get a Visa Gift Card. Check with your bank or credit union. Navy Federal Credit Union has Visa gift cards with no additional fees. Store specific gift cards limit you to that store where as a visa can be used just about everywhere.
 
Unless you know exactly what they want gift cards are the way to go. It's not as exciting as opening a gift but they're sure as hell gonna be excited when they start thinking what they want.

She cool and gets us stuff so I think I’ll get her her own gift card.

I have a Target giftcard in my purse from work from 4 years ago.

But if anyone ever bought me record tokens they were the best gift, my parents knew my music taste so they didn't have to but it was always a safe bet with other relatives buying for me.

I guess that's not the same now with Spotify etc.

IDK, I'm pretty good with gifts, but hate wedding and baby registry stuff. The last two weddings I went to I bought one couple a really cool archery set-up which they loved and wasn't on the list and another couple a sausage making machine being he's a bit of a kitchen wizard and she likes to eat.
