My daughter just bought a condo. So for Christmas I gave her gift cards to her favorite home accessory stores--Target, Pier I, Illumine.com, and Pottery Barn. I also gave her a gift card to Starbucks because she will need to keep the caffeine flowing during her packing and moving stage - LOL.
She loved them because she can get what she wants when she wants it. It made my life simple and made her happy. Plus she didn't have to try to figure out all to get additional stuff in her suitcase to go back home.
But I agree. You need to know the person's tastes for them to be really effective gifts.
