Rather than panicking for what to buy somebody a day or two before their birthday, I find it helpful to have a "gift chest". Throughout the year when I see something that a person might like, I buy it and put it in a box until the day arrives.

*One can also buy "generic" type gifts, like wine, a picture frame, etc. and keep them for unexpected occasions that require a gift.
