What actually works

Most people are travelling — home upcountry, or to whoever is hosting. That changes what works: it has to survive the journey, or arrive before they leave the city. Order dates matter more this month than taste does.

The usual mistake

Leaving it late, then buying whatever can arrive by Friday. Bulky or fragile is also a burden if they are getting on a bus with it.

Still not sure?

Tell us about them in your own words, what they are into and what you have already given, and we will narrow it down properly.
