We all know them, those people who we really should get a gift for, but they seem to either already have everything that they need or they seem to hate whatever they get.
A while ago, I met someone on steemit that has been through a lot in his life.
Like, a lot!
It seems that some of the problems from his past continue to plague him even here on steemit, and he's got a lot to deal with anyway, because of what he does for a living. Despite all of this, he still tries to cheer up others and even offered me a potential position if I needed one.
When I saw that other steemians were actually getting gifts for him as well, I thought that if I didn't I might look like a big jerk and wind up having some sort of backlash for it.

Hey there, I found your Christmas gift so you don't force-choke me
!!
Great, now I've really got to step up my game!
Not only did I have the idea to get a gift, now I had all this pressure!
So, how could I compete with that? What do you get for a guy with his own empire. I did a little research quickly, and checked the blog history of
Narcissism, one of the easiest character traits to shop for.
Quickly, off to the store I went!

However, upon closer examination, I noticed that the crayons that came with this item were not light-saber compatible. Some other jedi must have already thought about purchasing this item, and liquefied the crayons just by coming near them. Obviously,
However, whatever else I found mostly featured those who were in opposition to our wonderful .
Most of the items were not even good to use for target practice, so I was coming up empty...
Hmm... empty?
One sure-fire gift for anyone is food, I mean, we all get hungry! As long as it is not some fruitcake, it should work for almost anyone. However, we are all well aware that
Plus, he's got that mask to deal with. Hmmmm, I wonder if
Since winter is coming on, and I was looking for something straw-compatible, I figured that soup could be a winner!
Who doesn't love a nice warm bowl of soup in the cold winter evenings? Even
Knowing full well that any homemade soup would not make the journey out to where
As I rounded the corner to the soup aisle, I stopped dead in my tracks, as if I was being force-choked.
There they were, can after can of soup covered in images of and storm troopers!
For a moment, I thought that I had aced the challenge of finding the perfect Christmas gift for the galaxy's hardest man to shop for. Then reality set in. I mean the cans of soup looked a lot better than when they were covered in images of chubby children, but why would
How could this legendary ruler now become some cheap gimmick to try to sell more soup?
My how the mighty have fallen! It was as if my world had turned upside-down, like when I finally realized what "bringing balance to the force" really meant.
Being too proud to mention anything to the rest of us on steemit, it became obvious to me,
Since a steak-eating model would be impossible for to do with his mask, soup must have been his only option.
At least I was correct about that!
So, when someone's life has been a warped series of events that can only be topped by an entire season of The Jerry Springer Show, and when they really have ruined an empire and wound up effectually bankrupt, there only is one option for the best Christmas gift ever.
I know it may not seem that personal, but STEEM wasn't even a gift option last year!
The way that 
Remember back when tickle-me-elmo dolls were going for thousands of dollars? source
Will that be STEEM this year?
Honestly, there is only one way to find out. Here we have a chance to make a real difference. Can we pull the hero
