Someone who has everything is the hardest person to buy for: another mug or gadget won’t surprise them, and an expensive item may just gather dust. The good news is that such people love experiences, attention and small things that show you know them far more than objects. Here are 40 gift ideas for men and women who have everything, from experiences to lovely consumables.
More on this topic: gift ideas for everyone, birthday gifts for your husband, what to give with flowers.
Before choosing, ask three questions: what does the person love doing, what do they dream about but keep postponing, and what do they enjoy receiving but wouldn’t buy for themselves? The answers almost always point to the right gift better than any list. And remember: expensive does not mean successful.
1) Concert, theatre or match tickets. 2) A workshop: pottery, cooking, wine or floristry. 3) A hot-air balloon flight or indoor skydiving. 4) A weekend somewhere unusual: glamping, a treehouse or a castle. 5) A cheese, coffee or tea tasting. 6) A photoshoot. 7) A lesson with a pro athlete or musician. 8) A restaurant with a cuisine they have never tried.
Things that get used up are never superfluous: 9) rare coffee or tea; 10) craft chocolate or handmade sweets; 11) good wine, cheese or delicacies; 12) scented candles and diffusers; 13) natural skincare; 14) a hamper of treats; 15) flowers or a houseplant; 16) a flower, coffee or book subscription.
17) A photo book of shared memories. 18) A portrait or caricature by an artist. 19) A book with a personal dedication. 20) A video of wishes from friends they have not seen in years. 21) A tree or shrub planted in their honour. 22) Something engraved. 23) A handwritten letter about why you value them. 24) A charity donation in their name — for people who “have everything”, this is often the most meaningful gift.
For more ideas for men and women of all ages, see our guide gift ideas for everyone, and to add flowers, sweets or balloons, read what to give with flowers.
Flowers are one of the few gifts that delight even people who have everything: they don’t take up space forever, they lift the mood and they show you care. A large boxed or basket arrangement paired with an experience voucher works especially well.

Experiences (a concert, workshop or trip), nice consumables (coffee, chocolate, candles), personal gifts and flowers.
A test drive, a tasting, match tickets, a mountain hike, an engraved barbecue set or a board game.
A spa day, a workshop, silk pyjamas, weekly flowers, a photoshoot or a trip with friends.
Yes, if you are close or it is a family custom. But for someone who has everything, a thoughtful gift or experience usually means more.
