  Do what the Japanese do: gift consumables. In the worst case you would receive something you don't like the taste of, don't normally use, or can't eat due to allergies, but you can just pass the gift on to someone who would appreciate it. Either way, at some point the gift is consumed (eaten or drunk in the case of food, used, or spent in the case of money) and its gone. No kipple. The idea is never to give something that will burden the receiver. In Japan homes tend to be small, so anything that can't be consumed would be an unthoughtful gift (unless you knew that the person specifically wanted/needed it).
