For the most part, we actually enjoy buying gifts. As professional shoppers, we delight in finding that one trinket that’s going to surprise our loved ones, but there are always outliers in this shopping scenario — the people that leave us hemming, hawing, and endlessly scrolling to find the just-right thing that will satisfy their highly exacting tastes. The kind-of-difficult ones.

Because when it comes to those hard-to-please folks, we’ve got you (and them) covered. Ahead, find 36 gifts for difficult people that will actually pass muster with your pickiest pals.
