Food. I have a ton of allergies and the people who I know on the level of 'impersonal gifts like foodstuffs' don't know that and tend to assume it's okay to give absolutely anyone food with nuts in it.

Anything that's imposing their tastes on you. Like, 'I know you like x, so I know you'll love y!' from a person who has no idea that y only superficially resembles x, or in fact doesn't really resemble x at all.

Also, never get someone a book unless you know 1) they want that specific book, 2) they like books by the same author--not A book by the same author, multiple ones, or 3) you know them really well and know their specific tastes. I could say the same for video games, movies, etc too.

...Basically what I'm saying is that one year I got Eragon as a gift because I'm 'into fantasy.' At least no one's ever given me a Twilight book because I'm 'into vampires.'
