8 Gifts to Buy Famous People
Shari Springer Berman, director of The Extra Man
I usually go on a vacation or I buy my husband, Bob, a nice piece of clothing, because all he ever wears is swag. Like promo t-shirts. If I don’t go to Barney’s and buy him a nice shirt he will wear a swag shirt from, you know, the Sarasota Film Festival every day.
For someone else, it would probably be some meaningful book. I can’t really answer that because it would have to be specific to the person. I wouldn’t get them something generic. It could be like Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots if that was something they were into, you know what I mean? It would have to be something meaningful to that person.

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.
