What do you get for the person who has everything? With just a little bit of creative thinking, you’ll easily increase your chances of pleasing the difficult people on your Christmas list.
There’s one on every Christmas gift list: the person who seems impossible to shop for. This man who has everything has no hobbies, or if he does, he buys what he wants for himself.
She already owns everything you can think of. Or she’s incredibly picky and never likes anything you choose. It’s impossible to please everyone, but these clever suggestions will help you find the one gift they need, but don’t have!
Gift of Experience
Most people have a “bucket list” of things they’ve always wanted to try but haven’t. A good gift for the hard to buy for person is something on that list. This could be a ride in a hot air balloon, a backstage pass at the theater or a day at the amusement park riding roller coasters.
If the person’s goal is to learn to cook or to get in shape, gift them with gourmet cooking lessons or ballroom dancing classes. If possible, the gift giver should offer to take the classes with them, which will add to their enjoyment of the gift.
Gift of Personality
Give a Christmas gift of a favorite memory by compiling a scrapbook of family photographs. Try this idea for creating a scrapbook about the family tree. Or convert old home movies to DVD. Or enlarge and frame a favorite photograph. Companies will also put photographs on calendars, mugs and even playing cards, and these all make unique gifts .
If the person on your gift list had a favorite childhood book, it can be ordered through online services such. A newspaper from the day the gift recipient was born, or some other momentous day in their life, is also an interesting and unexpected gift.
We’re also big fans of finding personalized gifts for the person who has everything. They may have a pocket knife, for example, but do they have a custom one designed especially for them? Likely not! And if they did, they’d love to show it off.
Which is why we love our new discovery, Groovy Guy Gifts, where we found personalized Altered Fiber Carbon pocket knives (pictured) as well as a wealth of other great gifts for the hard-to-shop for guy in your life! From wallets to drinkware to golf sets and cigar cutters, they have plenty of stylish and unique products to choose from.

Gift of Choice
Some people think gift certificates or gift cards are boring, but most people enjoy receiving them, as long as the gift cards are for a store where they recipient would like to shop.
One way to make a gift card special is to not make it seem like a last minute purchase. Put some thought into it and buy a certificate for an indulgence the recipient will actually use. Learn the ins and outs of giving gift cards.
A woman who loves flowers but rarely buys them for herself might appreciate a gift certificate to a local florist’s. Whatever the gift recipient loves, whether it’s coffee or audio books, a gift certificate will allow him to enjoy that pleasure for months after the holidays.
