Gift giving is a great time to get people you care about frivolous luxurious. Some notes:
for college people: things that'll bring comfort or fun (concert tickets, salon certificates, pre-paid yoga, dance classes. cozy clothes, warm blankets) stuff they might have at home but not at school, or stuff they maybe used to have but grew out of
recent graduates/ppl with big life changes: they probably need necessities (see above: sheets, kitchen knives, coffee grinder
ppl who are already settled down: want single-use luxuries. Things that they've bought before, but don't want to keep buying. Think fancy lotions (get stuff from lush), exotic foods (like fancy salsas)
A scratch off map of the world for someone who loves to travel
A map to place pins in for a grandma who wants to keep track of her grandchildrens journals across the country
A Spiderman poster for a teenage guy still excited about the movie
Gift card to a movie theater to allow a teenager to go out more
Very cozy onesie
Pride flags/clothes
Also!!!! Gift giving for neurodivergent people seems hard, but I promise you is actually way easier than you think. Find out their special interest. Buy them things based on it. You CANNOT GO WRONG.
Christmas is also a great time to buy fanart / fan-made goods.

tips:
make a "things I’d like but don’t want to buy for myself frivolously" list for gifts! - (MADEMOISELLESARCASME)
ASK PEOPLE WHAT THEIR FAVOURITE COLOUR IS!! I always ask this to people I meet for two reasons: 1. Great ice breaker! neutral and easy question to ask! 2. Great information for getting gifts? what better to receive anything in your favourite colour? :)
i find that gifts that get a laugh are also really good too, like i got my friend a sexy pepe body pillow and he really enjoyed it (pictured below, being braced by my sloth stuffie)

aka possessions which are just possessions, but which have noticeably improved my quality of life: for when people ask you “what do you want for your birthday/Christmas/graduation” and you instantly transform into St Francis and pledge fealty to Lady Poverty because your mind went blank
nice. new. sheets. I cannot emphasize this one enough. if you’re still using the same sheets you had in college, you should probably get new ones. get yourself some 100% bamboo rayon sheets—they’re silky and perfect for summer and great for sensitive skin! or, if you’re cold all the time, flannel sheets!
kitchen knives. or even just one really good kitchen knife.
new curtains—blackout if you are a creature of the night like I am
fleece lined anything, but especially sweatpants and hoodies. wool lined socks are also good. if you don’t have the option of coming home after work and putting on an entire outfit that is loose and fuzzy, you should change that, because you deserve that option.
cookie sheets with a layer of air between the top and the bottom. the bottoms of your cookies will never burn again.
kitchen scale!!! no more leveling off flour with a knife and getting it all over the table!! now all your measuring is just shoveling stuff in and out of bowls like you’re at the beach. baking is both more accurate and also way more fun.
coffee bean grinder. if you want to upgrade your coffee experience, this is a great one-time purchase. just-ground beans have a much better flavor than pre-ground.
CDs!! ask for a gift card and expand your physical music collection! or a collection of the DVDs for your favorite show!
Sheridan and Calarts had been flirting with each other for weeks, and they finally decided to go on a date. They met at a cozy cafe that was known for its figure drawing sessions on Wednesday nights. As soon as they sat down at a table by the window, Sheridan couldn't resist the urge to pull out his sketchbook. Calarts noticed and chuckled.
"Are you going to draw me?" Calarts asked, raising an eyebrow. Sheridan blushed.
"I-I guess I couldn't resist the opportunity. You have such a strong, defined form," he stuttered. Calarts grinned.
"Well, in that case, I'll be happy to pose for you." He struck a dramatic pose, flexing his muscles.
Sheridan laughed and started sketching. As he drew, he couldn't help but admire Calarts's strong lines and curves. He was so focused on his work that he barely noticed the time passing. After a while, Calarts glanced over at Sheridan's sketchbook.
"Can I see?" he asked. Sheridan hesitated for a moment before handing over the sketchbook. Calarts looked at the drawing and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Sheridan, this is amazing!" he exclaimed. "You captured every detail so perfectly. I feel like I'm right there on the page." Sheridan felt his cheeks flush with pride.
"Thanks, Calarts. You make it easy to draw. You have such a dynamic pose." Calarts grinned.
"Well, I'm flattered. And I have to say, I'm really impressed with your skills. You have a real talent for capturing the essence of a subject." Sheridan beamed. He had always known that he had a passion for drawing, but it was rare for someone to appreciate his work as much as Calarts did.
As they continued to talk and sketch, Sheridan couldn't help but feel a strong connection to Calarts. He had never met someone who understood and appreciated his art the way Calarts did. As the night went on, Sheridan knew that he was falling for Calarts. And as they walked home together, hand in hand, he knew that this was the start of something special.

Remember.
TumblrClan is no place for a fox-hearted Twittypet like Elon Musk.
Sheridan had always been fascinated by Calarts's art, and when the other anthropomorphized animation school offered to let him be his private model, he couldn't say no.
He knew that Calarts was a bit of a tsundere, always pushing people away even though he secretly yearned for their affection. And as he posed for the other school, he couldn't help but feel his own feelings for Calarts growing stronger with each passing moment.
But as the sessions went on, Sheridan began to notice that Calarts was acting a bit strange. He would get flustered and embarrassed whenever Sheridan complimented his art, and he would often turn bright red and refuse to make eye contact.
It was clear to Sheridan that Calarts was falling for him, but the other school was too stubborn to admit it.
One day, after a particularly intense session, Sheridan decided he had had enough. He walked over to Calarts, who was sitting at his easel with a frustrated look on his face.
"Calarts, I know you have feelings for me," he said, his voice soft but firm. "And I have feelings for you too. Why won't you just admit it?"
Calarts looked up at Sheridan, his eyes wide with surprise. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out.
Sheridan sighed and sat down next to Calarts, taking his hand in his own. "I know you're scared, but I promise I'll be here for you no matter what. Just please, don't push me away anymore."
Calarts looked at Sheridan, his eyes filled with emotion. He took a deep breath and finally spoke. "I do have feelings for you, Sheridan," he whispered. "I'm just afraid of getting hurt."
Sheridan smiled and leaned in for a gentle kiss, trying to convey all the love and tenderness he felt in that single touch.
"I'll never hurt you, Calarts," he whispered back. "I promise."
And as they sat there, finally admitting their true feelings for each other, Sheridan knew that they were destined to be together, no matter what challenges they might face. The end
