Stuff not to give to people:
musical instruments to other people's children
includes all woodwind, brass and percussion. Unless of course you are very very angry at the parents, then do it up by throwing in a harmonica, a tambourine and a tub of red vines to fuel the intensity of the musical genius.
knives
there is a superstition concerning the gifting of knives. Something about the knives "cutting" the friendship, therefore, it is customary for the giftee to give the gifter some nominal form of payment. A penny will do. Thus ensuring the continuing health of the relationship.
weight loss or dating site memberships
You're implying something here. Don't call your loved ones "fat" or "spinster".
