Mekasmom--can't tell you how many times we have had a need filled!
I am always looking for books for myself. Also mugs with scriptures I like, cat pictures on them or just any I think are cute. For friends & family--mugs that have their names on them or sayings, pics I think they will enjoy. Little figurines that are a take off on their nickname or represent an interest they have. Clothing that just "looks like them"--getting good at this--my MIL is wearing the quilted jacket I found for her very often so I know she likes it. Baby stuff--I'm expecting a niece this spring. Small appliances that I need or expect to need & spares for stuff that gets heavy use. This is my yard sale & thrift shop shopping. I also get all our cloth napkins at thrifts & I'm always on the lookout for dressy blouses to wear with my basic color pants so I'm not immediately recognized by my outfit.
Other shopping for staples on lowest price sale, reduced stuff to freeze, seeds, reduced clothing, luxury items on sale that I usually couldn't afford.
Things my husband wants & doesn't have time to look for--oddly enough what springs to mind is the sticky traps for his shop to catch spiders. Recently small propane bottles.
