Standard fluorescents make me feel like it's three in the morning and I ought to be in bed. Too much time under them puts me in a terrible mood and can bring on headaches.
"Daylight" fluorescents are a lot better -- at least some of them are, I haven't tried them all; but did find some I can use at home. I haven't tried LED's except in a flashlight, which is a different situation and doesn't let me judge whether I could stand them for general lighting.
People's reactions to types of light vary drastically. Giving these as gifts is a good idea; but unless you already know the tolerance of the particular people I'd give one or two bulbs per household, with a note suggesting they try them and let you know whether they'd like to have more. Or, if there are various types, you could make up a gift box with one or two bulbs each of each type.
