Keep a gift list that spans every shop
The good gift ideas arrive in March, from a shop you will not remember. Somewhere to put them is worth more than any amount of thinking in December.
Capture is the whole problem

A cart per person
Keep one cart per person and add to it whenever something turns up, from whatever shop. By the time an occasion arrives you are choosing from a list instead of starting from nothing.
