I try to get people something creative/unexpected because I enjoy those sorts of gifts the most. It's hard to get right, though... I'm quite awkward opening gifts but sometimes something will catch me off-guard and be something I really wanted and didn't expect (like when the COL lot bought me a vinyl player a few years ago).

I find going for personalised things is usually a safe route, though... and using humour/creativity too.
