A few gifts can create more hassle than help.
- Complicated gadgets. If it needs passwords or frequent charging, someone else should set it up and manage it.
- Decor and knickknacks. Most people this age are trying to have less stuff, not more.
- Food they can't eat. Check for dietary restrictions before sending treats.
