I have been at this for a long time. Everyone in the "family and friends" system is either on board or is never going to get on board.
For the ones that are prepping, camping, hunting, fishing, I know what they want or what they are in need of. that is what they get.
The ones not on board get an ugly sweater with a reindeer on the front and a red LED in its nose.

I only buy presents for the wife, everybody else just gets a Christmas card.
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.

last year the males got a victorinox Spartan(bought a job lot shade over a tenner each) and the girls/ladies got a swiss card (again an end of line job lot £7.49 each...all black ones...think the girls would have preferred coloured ones)
Nothing is fool proof for a sufficiently talented fool!!!!
