Finding the perfect present should be a pleasure, not a challenge. Yet despite our best efforts, and frequent reminders for ideas for gifts they would like to receive, some people are simply hard to buy for. It helps to consider a hobby or interest, be it specialised (sea swimming, painting) or more general like relaxing in front of the fire with a good book or glass of wine. Here are some potential present ideas and stocking fillers that should spark joy long after they are unwrapped.
