Holiday Gift Guide!
For the Teen: If there is one thing teens love, it is to learn more about manners and proper deportment! My first choice would be to hire a personal coach to follow the teen around and correct his or her behavior, but short of that I would recommend a book on the topic.
For children under 10: Younger kids are always happy to receive the gift of clothes. If you can, make sure it is exactly the kind of clothes you wear, only smaller. Sure, they say they want power tools or a puppy or toys, but really they want a sweater with a picture of a dog on it.
For parents: I would recommend food as the perfect gift for a parent. Pork, beef, turkey, or any other kind of meat is best. Don't cook it, though! That is their job.
Actually, I just buy everyone stuff from Kid Robot.

Don't forget:
For your child's teacher: In a word, figurines! Why one earth would your child's overworked, underpaid educator want a gift card to their favorite coffee shop or restaurant when they could have a ceramic duck at a chalkboard, or a young teddy bear giving a teddy bear with reading classes an apple?! Gift cards only last for a time, but figurines last forever! (Don't believe me? Go check your local landfill!)

I have a friend in his 50s who never had kids. Opened $10,000 college funds for his niece and nephew (5 and 9). Both kids were sorely disappointed and he seriously didn't understand why. :) That's what you get with scientists.
Micah - I think there is an suggestion that you require a book or course on manners. At least you won't be receiving a sweater with a dog on it!
Now if you are up for a road trip to Tampa, I have a friend who teaches such a class.
