Libras are the worst to shop for.
...At least all the ones I know. It can be quite the task and you have to get really creative since they tend to buy what they want for themselves any time. You know, that whole loving shiny crap thing they do.

Some examples-
One was mister practical. Not into gadgets of any sort ror a collector of anything besides hats, maybe. I noticed that his dingbat self kept misplacing his glasses or watches and they were usually just kinda sitting on his desk like whatever. So I got him a desk valet so he wouldn't lose that stuff anymore.
Another was hard to shop for because he just bought everything he wanted. So I had to pay attention to little things to figure out what to make. I think I ended up getting him a really soft blanket and other odds and ends.
When all else fails, just use food as a gift. That one's always a winner, no matter who it's for.

Yes, food is a good one...
Gourmet restaurant style , favorite take away or premium butcher/ organic whole food and veg is a winner

Lol rocky I like the way you think

Something that tells me this person has thought about me long and hard and what I would like. It wouldn't matter if it cost nothing or heaps. If it fits in my home or is something I would purchase for myself it would mean more.
My best gift ever was a ticket to see Don Giovanni at the Opera. I never talked about my Mozart obsession with this Capricorn friend, but he found out somehow, and joined me. I'll never forget that.He's such a leo mooner. 
Nevertheless, coffee is my weakness, so anything related with this glorious legal drug will do.
humm coffee doesn't sound bad , those tickets must've been expensive :O. Sweetheart , what type of things do you buy for yourself? Tiziani question: His graduation is next week thursday I was thinking of making him my own decorated msu cap in all spartan green cloth with his favorite basket ball teams stitched in the inside. With a diploma I bought only it's not written in , which I plan on paying someone to professionally sign. Does it sound like a good gift?
Professional Diploma: Don't know. I mean, it's nice, but kinda boring... personal opinion
Personalized Clothing: Heck yes! you've thought about me and you've spended time to make a perfect gift JUST for me.
That's a plus. However, make sure everything's elegantly disposed. I mean, it's not about the present, is about the detail you've put on it,
the moment, the surprise, etc... so wrap it like crown jewels!

Maybe a graduation gown stitched with his name on it and a few sports teams he likes?
And ok I gotcha , presentation means everything.

I'm one that buys things I want, I know getting gifts for me is tough. Thankfully, I don't need/want gifts. I've always preferred just having someone's time. In high school I had a girlfriend instant that I gave her a "list" of wants for Christmas because my "nothing" answer wasn't good enough. I said a pair of socks, a banana, and a new pen.
Lol sid! Ok that settles it he's getting nothing. Boy I just saved tons of money by switching to " I could care less". However this was such a nice diploma, maybe I'll write in my own bachelor's degree.
If you got something you thought he'd like, that's what matters most. For me it is truly the thought that counts. I grew up broke with broke friends, time and intent > stuff. And not the time put into a gift...like I said I'd rather have a friend swing by on my birthday just to hang out than to have them feel like they need to get me something.

Even a bitten pencil seems better wrapped in GOLD.
Give me the gift of your presence.
Next to that, let's do stuff together..new experiences. Let's learn to play darts, bowling etc together.

A GOWN? What about a stole? You can customize those things like nobody's business.
Oh yeah but the sash is so long lol and i know I made enough this week to pay and do so, but my tendencies to shop for myself may damper that. and zero that doesn't sound bad . Aww man now to factor out what I will do , maybe i'll just take him to a Cantonese restaurant to eat seafood.

I prefer shopping for others over receiving gifts.
Part of it is because my taste is particular, the other reason is that I'm a bauce at finding the perfect items that have the recipient's names written all over them(figuratively, not literally).
Anyway, personally I'm a fan of small "fun" gifts like fashion jewelry pieces, perfume/scented hygiene products, cute keychains, Hello Kitty memorabilia, etc etc. I make the most use out of those items, it seems.
Can't speak for every Libra though, of course
Sure you can, people always say libra guys are gay anyway. Hello Kitty for everyone!
Lol come to think of it he probably would like hello kitty.

So put your self centered tendencies aside?
Rocky reason with me lol, I do go all out though when I get him gifts well in my opinion. I got his favorite book, it was the last on the shelf at target. Then I got him a personalized shot glass that said bottoms up, then I bought him on valentines day/my birthday tons of his favorite candy bars and a frog haha I said something cheesy like be my prince charming..
and for his birthday I bought him a bottle of Hennessy in this elegant bottle. That's all he asked for lol. I try to give good gifts I will look into personalizing something for him.

I must do it quick though lol I told him I got you a gift he said, " more gifts, wow! you are just so good to me aren't you."
