This post was deleted for the following reason: That's a pretty great list, but dumping it into an askme question probably isn't the way to go here. The wiki might be a pretty good idea, though. -- cortex

 
There are over 200 threads tagged with gift here on AskMe! Have you looked through them?

I don't have any suggestions, but I think this might be a good sidebar-item later on, considering how many people will be asking for gift ideas. Bonus points if we can organize them into categories for type of gift.

Please add some more useful tags to this question, so that it also shows up in '3gazillion questions tagged with gift' etc.
