The gift-finding blues

One of my biggest difficulties in life has been finding appropriate Christmas presents for family members. It's particularly difficult in my present condition, as I am not yet able to just go to the store and buy gifts. I usually have to think up my own, and they don't always seem adequate. More often than not they seem to be just pieces of junk that were stored in the back of the closet. Okay, so I'm exaggerating. But it does seem like that. Does anybody know a way to find nice gifts for people if you can't afford to buy them?
