In general, it seems that women worry a lot more about this than men.  Certainly, many men to put a lot of thought into the gifts they give the women in their lives, but in general, you do not hear them talk about it being a major issue.  Women however, often fret about finding the best presents for men in their lives.  I would not venture to guess why this is so, it is just a general observation I have made in my own life.

One of the easiest ways to find a solution for this problem, is to simply look at what the person has strong interests in.  Once you have figured that out, all you really need to do is look for new or unusual ways to match up a gift or present to that interest.  For example, if the person you are buying for enjoys playing golf, you do not have to go out and purchased them an entire new bag of golf clubs.  You may ask some of his or her friends for suggestions about one particular golf club that would be an appropriate present, or you could consider accessories like golf shoes or something customized such as a golf organizer for carrying golf supplies when they go on trips.  The key is to make it something that the person would probably not purchase for themselves, but which they would truly enjoy.  Look for something that makes doing what they like easier or more enjoyable.  The best part of using this approach, is that you already know that they have an interest in that particular area.  Just use a bit of imagination and you may be surprised at how many new ideas come to mind!
