We all have that person in our life that we believe ‘has everything’. But in reality, nobody has everything that they truly want.
However, if you find someone in particular difficult to buy a present for, whether it be their birthday or another special occasion, then don’t worry as there are some ideas in this post that will give you some inspiration.
The next time that you have to buy a gift for that person come back to this gift guide instead of going into panic mode.
Gift vouchers
Everybody in life loves food. Whether that person loves cheese, bread, meat, or sweets, a food voucher is the ideal gift option so that person can treat themselves to their favorite things.
Getting free food shopping vouchers for your friend or family member is such a great way to give them something that they have control over. You might know their favorite food but they might not want it at that moment. Hence, they can use the voucher when they are ready to and get the most enjoyment from the gift.
A nice bottle of wine
It doesn’t matter if the person you are buying a gift for is a wine connoisseur or not, gifting someone a special bottle will always make them smile. It will give them something nice to drink for a special occasion or another that they wish to save it for.
It will help to know what type of wine they like. Whether that be a fruity red or a dry white wine, knowing what they like will ensure that they know there was thought behind it. Plus, it means that they will get maximum enjoyment out of it.
A subscription
We often go through life wanting to sign up for movie subscriptions, gym memberships, or magazine services yet find it a weird thing to gift ourselves. Hence, you likely have family and friends who would love a subscription service too.
Therefore, getting that particular someone a subscription to something that they are interested in is a fabulous gift idea. Whether it be for a month or a year, gifting them a subscription will give them something new to look forward to.
An experience
Another thing that many people would not treat themselves to is an experience. This could be a skydive or a dining experience. Either way, it is uncommon for people to gift themselves an experience that they have always wanted to do.
Therefore, getting that person who has everything an experience for the special occasion is a great way to mark the moment. It could be a skydive to celebrate your friend’s 30th or an outside cinema experience for your mum on Mother’s Day. An experience is going to be something that they will remember.
It is often best to buy the experience for two or more people so that the person has someone to go with and they don’t have to pay extra to enjoy the experience.
Further education/a course
If you are close to this person and know that they want to pursue further education to simply enhance their knowledge or go further in their career, then you might know that they are holding back because of fear or finances. Hence, you can take the leap for them and gift them a voucher or the entire cost of the course.
You will want what is best for your loved one and if you know that you can afford to cover all or part of the course, then this could be the best gift that you could ever get them.
A night away/or night cover
Should your family member or friend never have time to themselves because of family or work commitments, then it could be the best time to gift them a night away. Or, gift them the opportunity to have a night out whereby you or a nanny could take care of the house/kids.
Giving them some freedom could be what they need to relax and unwind without having to worry about life for just one night. You could go with them, allow them to take someone else, or encourage them to go alone. Sometimes somebody ‘with everything’ just needs some time to wind down to feel happy again.
These simple gift ideas should hopefully spark some inspiration the next time you are struggling to think of a gift idea for that friend, family member, or colleague that you think ‘has everything’.
