It’s sad but true that when it comes to gift-giving, people know what to expect from certain individuals, labeling them as the lazy shoppers of the thoughtless mind, but which exactly is which?

(This is where those ugly sweaters come from). No matter which gift-giving identity these individuals possess -- the Show Off, the Self-Pleaser or even the Delegator -- don’t be afraid to expose their lack of effort, though next year’s gifts may go down the drain.
