8 Gifts to Buy Famous People
Danny McBride, actor
I can remember a few years ago I went to the store — this was a bad move — my girlfriend was coming to visit and meet the family and stuff. And for Christmas I decided to get her this really cool thumb ring, that would look cool. And I gave it to her, and as I gave her the box and saw the look on her face, I instantly knew that I had made a big mistake, because I don’t think she thought it was going to be a thumb ring. When they’re primed for an engagement ring and they’re instead given a thumb ring it’s honestly about the lamest gift that you could ever give. She was like, “A thumb ring? What the fuck? Why not even just a regular ring?” I’m engaged; I’m getting married in a few weeks here. Ready to roll over and play dead.

Kind of a stretch to call some of these cats celebrities.
They're not A-listers. But it's a pretty cool group -- and some of the answers are pretty awesome. Do you really want gift advice from Jennifer Aniston?
Tim Harrington's answer is terrible.
Time, yes, in addition to something FUCKING MATERIAL. I'd rather get a cool handmade card someone put thought into than a coupon that says "I'll spend a day with you."
Jeez.
If you have to say who they are (as in what they do that makes them known), they are NOT famous (not for the intent of the title). I personally know many "famous" people who nobody would recognize by their name alone (local celebrities, and such) or for what they've done. Most people here are "people in the entertainment industry" which would make a more accurate title. But, nice intention.
Wowza, problem sovled like it never happened.
