Hmm, simple presents/gifts are most troublesome than special one... But at friends is probably easier than at family members - Because a friend can't so good calculate about her/his possible gift(s) than a family member, because they know longer than your friends Samy...
Well, then let's by your heart lead (and not by your doubts) - then will it probably easy be Samy... He or she will probably your gift sure take - even if after your taste not perfect is, it counts the effort behind - Think on that...
