Still in the box: when a gift needs less setup

When someone tends to leave new things untouched, the hidden cost may be learning how to use the gift, finding it a place, or asking for help. A thoughtful choice might arrive ready to use, get used up, or make an existing habit more pleasant. What would you want to know about the recipient before recommending another gadget? A specific habit is more useful than a generic gift list.

Graduation gift help: what would you ask before choosing?

They are starting a new job and will probably travel a little. I am between an e-reader and a really good weekender bag, but they have never actually said they want an e-reader. Would you ask about how they read now, how often they travel, or something else first?

@hazelturn22 chose Weekender bag

The weekender fits the known travel plans, while the e-reader still depends on an unconfirmed screen-reading preference.
