Definitely true that if it's for someone who'll be using the device for gaming/media they can run out of room on a 32GB model - but they'll run out on a 64GB model as well. Basically, regardless of which you choose, they'll have to prioritize what they want to keep resident on it, but even the 32GB will store all the 'normal' apps the vast majority of people would want along with a load of music, a few movies, and a few games. Beyond that there's cloud storage or the option of USB OTG if they absolutely need more storage. 32GB provides ample storage for any reasonable needs (16GB would even be manageable, but would limit one to only a couple of movies/games).
I suspect that a sizable percentage of people who bought the 32GB model (myself included) would gladly have spent the extra $50 on the 64GB model if it were as "readily available" as the 32GB for the convenience of the extra storage, especially since the markup is a relatively low percentage of total cost compared to previous models, but I doubt many are finding themselves frustrated by the 'limitation.'
If the recipient is a techie and not an i-junkie, they'll likely be falling over themselves in efforts to thank you, regardless of the model - and if you get them the 32GB since you can get it within the 'season' and they show the slightest hint of disappointment that it's not the 64GB model, slap them upside the head and keep it for yourself ;-)
PS: Can I be one of your techie friends? ;-)
