People who are good writers also like getting gifts for Yuletide!

Would it help to go look through their comments on some of their earlier gifts? I find that sometimes helps me. Seeing someone leave an enthusiastic comment on something with bad SPAG or whatever because it's about the ship/character/fandom they love always reminds me that we're here for stories about things we love. Your gift doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be about the things they love.
