Gifts For People Who Have Everything And Need Nothing

We all have at least one person who is really hard to shop for. I tend to mentally group hard-to-buy-for people into two groups. People who have everything, and people who donโ€™t need anything.

People who have everything are usually people who have quite a bit of discretionary income. When there is something they want, they just buy it without thinking twice. This leaves them without a list of items that they want and donโ€™t own. The other group would be people who lead fairly simple lives, and who simply donโ€™t need or want much. This is often the category that senior citizens or disabled people will fall into. Over the years I have gotten a little creative for finding gifts for people who have everything, and getting gifts for people who donโ€™t need anything. I thought I would share below seems how the holiday shopping season is here.

gift ideas for people who have everything and need nothing

Gift Ideas For People Who Have Everything:

(People who purchase the items they want quickly)

  • Cookies, chocolate, fudge or another edible treat.
  • Pajama pants, slippers, or a fleece blanket.
  • Hat & gloves or scarf.
  • Gift cards to a store they frequently shop at.
  • Gift card to a favorite restaurant.
  • Time or experience gifts: Tickets to see their favorite musician or sports team, a certificate to go sky-diving, to go bungee jumping or some other unique experience.

Gifts for people who are hard to shop for

(People who donโ€™t need anything or want for much. The elderly, the disabled, those with few hobbies, etc. )

  • โ€œGeneric Giftsโ€ like pajama pants, slippers, a throw blanket, a flashlight, hat & gloves, popcorn gift basket, cookies or other treats, or a movie.
  • โ€œTime giftsโ€- take them somewhere to spend time with you, or get them tickets so they can go with someone else. Examples: adventure park, canoeing, lazy river, going out to dinner, a music or sports concert, dance class, massage or pedicure, skydiving, local arts classes or events. Check Groupon for discounts on this type of local event tickets.
  • Create a practical gift basket. Include essential items such as laundry soap, dish soap, bodywash, razors, shampoo, lotion or household cleaning products. In a sense you can provide for their needs so they can spend more of their own money on the โ€˜wantsโ€™ or their choosing.
  • Canvas prints or other photo-gifts of their kids or grandkids.
  • Personalized jewelry, keychain, shirt, etc featuring their kids or grandkids.
