Some people are just plain hard to shop for. Either they have a lot already, so it’s tough finding something they don’t possess, while others are just low-maintenance, rarely buying much for themselves and thus giving no clues as to what they really like. Yes, some people are hard to shop for and some of those people happen to be dads.
