Buying gifts for neurotypical people challenging?

Anyone else find buying gifts demands almost too much social imagination in order to be accomplished satisfactorily?

  • Oh my word yes.  I absolutely hate buying gifts for people - I would much rather people just tell what they want.  It's also what I prefer to do - I absolutely hate surprises so would always prefer people to ask me what I'd like then just get that.  I know it seems a bit strange to NTs but what's the point in buying people things they don't want. To me it's just so straightforward - stick to the list!

  • they think they know better than you
