Free gifts & giving tip: When consumables win (step 7 of 11 from "Pick a Gift They'll Actually Use").
Consumables respect people who hate clutter: great coffee, spices they would not splurge on, nice soap, fancy pasta, a bottle they will finish. Consumables also work when you are unsure of taste — a sampler beats one bold choice.
Put thought in curation, not size. Three small items that match how they actually eat or drink beat a giant basket of random gourmet fluff. Include a note: 'For your Sunday pancakes' ties the item to their life.
Pro tip: Check allergies and dietary rules before food gifts. 'Gluten-free' on the label is not enough — ask if you are not sure.
