LPT: Use this time to ask friends/relatives/coworkers about new year resolutions. You can get ideas for holiday presents that you know they will like, find useful, and probably improve their lives!

I would say the majority of people want to start an enriching hobby, break a bad habit, travel somewhere new, learn a foreign language, achieve a life dream. Why not help them do that with a new yoga mat or a book on the hills of Ireland? Perhaps new hiking boots or dancing lessons? Simply put, this helps you help them.
