Well, phoo. There was a long thread on this subject last year, but I
can't locate it.

I believe my suggestion was unglamorous consumables tailored to the
needs of the specific gardener.

I gave 50 lb. boxes of composted cow manure and a dozen bearded iris
rhizomes to all of my Taurus girlfriends for birthday presents this year.
They were *all* delighted with the cow compost, but whined about not
having time to plant the iris. Go figure...

I suppose I'll have to move to AK to get on your list. :-) My next
door neighbor is still rooting and potting mini-roses for office
co-workers who request plants and then complain that they died a year
or 2 later. "...those serpents! There's no pleasing them."
