Gifts from family members are always a toss-up. If they know you well, you run the risk of receiving a gift that they think would be perfect for you, while you have to sit there and be grateful for something you never wanted in the first place. If they don't know you well at all, you might have to force a smile for a gift that doesn't make any sense. It's best if the family just sticks to money or gift cards or from a specific list you've provided so they aren't led astray.
