Thais just don't have a culture of thoughtfulness in gift giving as seen in the west, that's why everyone in my soi is swapping tins of cookies back and forth over new year and everyone in the office is getting near identical hamper basket sets from Lotus.

I have found in my experience you get something that you think a Thai will really love and half the time it ends up unused and rarely touched but sometimes only sometimes now they go batshit crazy for it and usually it is the item that you put the least amount of thought into when buying it.
