Hey there, it's Christine.

This season we're dropping a series of gift-giving episodes.

You should check out the last one that we dropped, all about gift suggestions from our expert

staff.

These are items that they really loved in 2025, and you know it's their job to find great stuff.

So everything is awesome in that episode.

Today we're focusing on potentially one of the most challenging scenarios in the gift-giving world,

and that is people who are hard to shop for.

We all probably have someone like this in our lives.

Maybe it's somebody who's really

picky or they have really excellent taste or maybe they just never seem to be quite happy with

what you've given them. So we're going to take on this challenge today and try to come up with

great ideas for people who are hard to please. Whatever the conundrum, Wirecutter usually has

someone on staff who can help. And in this

case, we have the perfect person. Hannah Morrill is a supervising editor on our gifts team. She

joined us last year to talk about affordable gifts. And today, she's going to answer your questions

about what to get people who are just really challenging to buy gifts for.

Stay tuned to hear Hannah's expert advice to get great gifts that will impress.

Be right back.

Okay. Welcome back. I'm here with Hannah Morrell, supervising editor of gifts coverage at Wirecutter.

Hannah leads a team of gift writers who spend all year searching high and low for amazing gifts. They look on the internet. They look in real life. They scour

wirecutters other product recommendations to handpick items that they think will make great gifts.
