Gift ideas for family members

There is a group of my family that is tough to buy for. Mainly because they don’t drink.
Any ideas? Stores I could something for anyone 50-80 years old? Both men and women?
TIA OT’ers.

You either need more creativity, or less alcohol.
One of the two.

I usually buy my brothers kid a nice pillow or pajamas and some kind of restaurant gift card. He always looks so tired and it seems like he gets skinnier every year. He usually only wants cash though

Plus, who doesn't need more trinkets and wall hangings? Old people love that shite. It gives them more places to not dust. The dust compliments the plastic covered furniture.

Seriously though Hobby Lobby is your place.

For whatever reason, everyone on my list who doesn’t drink also isn’t big into cooking or food - so that really limits it. I guess the two tend to go hand in hand. I hate buying for these people. Restaurant gift cards, nice glassware or wine or wine accessories, kitchen decor, etc are all out for those people unless you’re fine with giving something they don’t much care about. You’re usually left with candles .. or something wearable, which isn’t usually smart to gift.

I got my dad a new oyster shucking knife, not sure if they like oysters or shucking them, but that was fun to look for

What percentage of your gifts are alcohol products?

I bought a lot of people movie pass this year. Easy and it really isn't a bad gift at all

Surely they have some sort of hobby? Some equipment or accessory for their hobby that won't break the bank.

I see what he means though! So many people we have to buy for that are older, not big drinkers, not necessarily interested in any specific "hobby".. so you're at a complete loss. SO's mother doesn't cook, doesn't drink, doesn't have any particular hobby, and we'd never guess on a handbag/perfume/clothing item for her. When you can't lean back on a cool kitchen gadget or a nice bottle of wine/liquor, you're fricked.

My grandmother doesn't have a single hobby. She is a simple lady who grew up in the tiniest town. Doesn't care for TV or movies, only cooks for sustenance, doesn't knit or sew or anything like that, doesn't drink, doesn't read much, etc. She sits in her little mobile home and drinks coffee and might do a word search or read the paper. That's it.
When I think about it, very few people I know have specific hobbies I can gift around.
Can you tell I despise the gift expectation of Christmas?

Use sites like The Grommet or Uncommon Goods.
Great gift ideas that you probably haven’t thought of

I've told all friends and family that if you want to give me a gift I'll enjoy, liquor and cigars are the answer.
Why they don't believe me, I have no clue.
I'm begging them not to give me some "thing."
Liquor and cigars. I get great enjoyment out of both.
