      asking what they want is for kids that have no purchasing power, for adults is more fun to take the risk and surprise each other

          Then the gift could be one such experience to surprise you with

          That’s the idea behind a good gift, it’s knowing the other person sufficiently to be able to know what they really would like, that they won’t get themselves/can’t justify it
