Do people not interact with each other anymore?

Curious but does no one talk to each other and find out likes and dislikes about each other in order to figure out what to get family and friends for Christmas? If you don't know your own family and friends, how do you expect random strangers to know what they like? In most cases, that's one of the first orders of business when you make friends is find out what you have in common and what they like, etc.Do people not interact with each other anymore?
That is very true, but just visit their homes and you can see for yourself what they are about. The best compliment for me came from my mom in law when she told me after rec'g a gift was ';You know me better than my daughters!'; That came about just noticing her home and yard. A personal gift does mean much more, though I don't mind receiving gift cert. at a favorite store either!Do people not interact with each other anymore?
Sometimes it's hard to buy for certain people because they have it all. If they want it, they go buy it. I know what my family is into, I know what they like etc. I know my mother in law and father in law are into hunting, fishing, rock hounding, etc. It's just sometimes it's hard to find that gift. Like my husband I were going to get his dad a expensive pair of hunting boots, well he's going shopping today for a pair. My brother in laws wife warm items like sweaters, jackets. Just a few examples. I talk to my family and friends (and can strike a conversation with a total stranger), sometimes some peoples interests are always changing, so that can make it hard, especially as we get a little older.
I agree, but still. Take my husband for example. He buys anything he needs himself. Or I'll get him clothes if I think he needs more-throughout the year. Any hobby he has- he has everything he wants to go with it. So.... I don't really know what to get him. I wanted to get him a ping pong table but he said he didn't want it in his office. So, anyway- I don't know what to get him now.

Everyone else I pretty much know what to get-kinda.
