2Pet Gifts
Treats plus a toy work for almost any dog or cat.
- Before you buy: check the pet's size, age and any food allergies before buying treats.

3Pet Gifts
Small, genuinely useful, and the name makes it theirs.
- Before you buy: engrave the owner's phone number, not just the pet's name — it's what gets a lost pet home.
- Not for: a cat that won't wear a collar — a personalised bowl suits it better

4Tech & Gadgets
Neat desk gift — check their phone supports it first.
- Before you buy: check their phone supports wireless (Qi) charging — recent iPhones and many flagship Androids do, many budget phones don't.
- Not for: someone whose phone doesn't support wireless charging

5Books & Stationery
Stands, organisers and lamps that fix a real problem at someone's desk.
- Before you buy: think about their actual desk: a laptop stand for someone on a laptop all day, an organiser for a cluttered desk, a lamp for a dim corner.
- Not for: someone with a minimal desk who doesn't want more objects on it
