Most of these recordings are appropriate both for people on your shopping list who are dharma practitioners and for those who are not practicing Buddhists. These recordings are inspirational and entirely in keeping with the loving kindness and compassion that is the essence of all spiritual practice.
The only exception we would note is the teaching on Chenrezig practice by Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche and the talk on Chenrezig by Lama Yeshe Gyamtso because these recordings teach a practice that includes visualizing a deity. This seems most appropropriate for someone who is actually interested in practicing Buddhism.
