season of giving. but what if you don't know what to give?

i have a friend that has really cool parents. they have been very nice to me and friendly for the past 2 years. first year i didn't get them anything for christmas. this year i want to get them something nice and decent. but i'm pretty much clueless on what to get them. even my friend doesn't know what his parents like.

what do you give people that you don't know what they like in the first place. is there gifts out there that pretty much standard for everyone.

Nice bottle of wine (or other kind of booze if you know this particular person likes it) always does the trick!

wine was great idea, if they enjoy wine. Bake them a cake hahahaha. Or do the certificate way.

bake them cookies. nothing like a gift with your personal effort put into it.

come to think of it that joint idea a little of obvious, how bout baking special brownies

if they celebrate xmas, a nice xmas ornament is always nice. if not go with the homemade cookies or some wine or something.

so far wine is a good idea

wine is classy. the other suggestions are horrible. be seirous buys

this guy knows what he's talking about if they're "really cool" as you say and you don't know what they like...can't go wrong with a few big fat Js.

seriously: dinner is a good suggestion.
