I did it 3 years in a row, lots of research (had a custom jigsaw puzzle made for one).... I got crap in return, like, on person got me a (tiny!) lego set.... the others were just garbage. I think someone sent me a pair of unboxed figures from some anime...so yeah, it's a good idea, wouldn't mind giving it a try again, but ..... eh

Something similar for me. I did 4 years, I had fun making things, doing research, etc. The one thoughtful thing I got was unfortunately also just junk (3D printed model).

I prefer gift giving when it's with people I know and see, when I know they'll use or otherwise appreciate what I give them. Been doing a lot of handcrafted stuff, homemade food, and event gifts.

For receiving: especially in the last 7 years or so, I don't want to get purchased gifts.
