41 Gifts For People Who Have Everything
You can still surprise them.
getty They may already have all the shoes and handbags and an extensive collection of wine and flavored oils. It seems like they already have everything, so that means there's nothing left to buy them, right? Well, you still need to get them a present and things like cash is still pretty lame. While useful, there's no creativity involved.
And that's when you have to think outside of the box for gifts for people who have everything. Get them really cool stuff they probably never knew they always wanted. We're thinking gifts like DNA tests so they can learn about their roots and their ancestors. Hmmm... they already have that? Well, what about that for their dog? They probably didn't even know it existed.
From really cool high-tech beauty and wellness, to baubles (because we all love feeling and looking our best), to cocktails with a bit of literary inspiration, we're really excited about these gifts. So much so that they are going on our own wish lists.
