Call it the Christmas spirit, but giving presents is actually my favorite part about the holidays. It's not just me - there's a slew of us "gift enthusiasts" who get a kind of adrenaline high off of finding the right gift and seeing that special someone open it up, equally as excited. If you're trying to win Christmas, that's how.

While your gift of choice is usually picked on behalf of the recipient, it actually can tell quite a bit about you. Here's five of those gifts you get every year and who's giving them to you:

1. "I know you like this, so.." 

The giver tried, so you've got to give them credit there. They looked at a few of your Facebook pics, asked your friends/family... And just went with what spoke to them. Common examples include sports t-shirts in the wrong size or style or the CD of an artist you've never heard of that happens to be in the same genre as your favorite one.

2. "I know someone your age..."

They mean well - they always do - but they didn't learn the proper research methods behind finding the perfect gift. This category usually consists of older relatives, especially grandparents, who have decided against asking your parents for gift advice and instead asked someone else's child your age. Commonly a gift card to whatever department store is popular at the moment, or a graphic tee from Spencer's.

3. "I can't be bothered" or "I hate Christmas but still totally buy into it."

Getting into the Christmas spirit can be hard for some, and the thought of going out and choosing something specifically catered to one person might be daunting. They'll still try, and this type will commonly show its colors as an Amex gift card once their frustrations take hold.

4. "I'm going to get something I like, and hope you like it too." This person shops online. A lot. Or, like me, is a TJMaxx enthusiast and thinks everything in there deserves a home. They also do not know how to research a person's tastes or preferences. They'll give you a gift that they're more excited about than you are. Potential choices include novelty pillows, at-home mixology kits or excessive tech gadgetry.

5. "The New York Times Bestseller." 

Because "I don't really know you enough to pick a book that you will actually enjoy, but a lot of people seem to like this one and maybe you will, too."
