Not that anyone said anything to prompt this or probably cares, but this is part of my approach to curating my gift as a Steam Secret Santa:

- Instead of one huge game, I go for a "big" game plus a few others in hopes that the giftee likes at least one of them. Not that I know if my previous four giftees played any of the games outside of one, but I take pride in my process of coming up with gift ideas and would feel like crap if I ended up whiffing. By grabbing multiple games, I mitigate that risk.

- I do at least one surprise gift. If I know or can tell that my giftee has eclectic taste, then I often choose a game or two that I hold in high regard and want them to experience. If they don't, then I try my best to not make it a wasted effort. One year, I had a person whose gaming interests were almost exclusively VNs and RPGs, neither of which were my area of expertise. I made the assumption that they preferred games where the threat of failure or fail states were low or non-existent and they valued the narrative over the interactive element. I ended up going with an adventure game that was lauded for its narrative.
