We all have one person in our lives—or maybe multiple—who, every year, like clockwork, tells you “I don’t need anything” when you ask what they want for the holidays. You groan, say, “seriously, there’s gotta be something,” and they still leave you scratching your head. Whether it’s your dad, sibling, or partner, these self-sufficient people are notoriously frustrating to shop for. But fear not: Your soul-crushing hunt for the perfect gift ends here.
Here’s my secret sauce for how to find a winning gift for the person who has it all: Either lean into their hobbies or go the sentimental route. For the homebody, enhance their hibernation period with cozy slippers, cashmere blankets, and at-home activities like puzzles, mahjong sets, or painting kits. For the hostess with the mostest, give her fresh cookbooks, cocktail kits, and conversation cards. On the other hand, tug on their heartstrings with photo lockets, rings engraved with handwriting, or picture books that are a labor of love. Finally, you can’t go wrong with a subscription they’d never sign up for themselves (but secretly always wanted to): think coffee, wine, flower, or ice cream deliveries on the regular.
Below, find the answer to your agonizing question, what do you get the person who has everything? with 59 clever gifts they’ll be delighted by.
Quick Picks
When shopping for the person who has everything, you need to find something unique and unexpected that the recipient would never consider buying for themselves, but will be thrilled to unwrap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do you get someone who has everything?
Spend some time thinking about this person’s hobbies, and chances are, there are some great gift ideas in store. For the home chef, buy a unique cookbook like the Russ & Daughters: 100 Years of Appetizing, a durable serving platter that will come in handy for many gatherings, or fancy pasta sauce. For the voracious reader, scoop up a new Kindle case or this sofa arm tray for keeping their mug of tea handy while curled up with a book.
What do you buy someone who doesn’t need anything?
No one wants to unwrap something they need, but rather something they want. (Catch that Love, Actually reference?) We’re talking items they’d see think, Ooh, I’d love to have that, but I shouldn’t spend the money on it. You’ll hit a home run by surprising them with a special wishlist item, like a cold brew coffee maker, an ultra-luxurious Diptyque candle, a super-soft cashmere throw blanket, or these red light therapy slippers for foot pain relief.
What is a good gift for someone who buys everything they want?
If someone on your list is lucky enough to be able to buy pretty much everything they want, give them thoughtful and useful gifts they would never think to purchase themselves, like a subscription to their go-to vice, whether that’s ice cream, coffee, or wine. Fresh flower bouquets delivered every week, two weeks, or month? We can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t love receiving this flower subscription.
What are some unique gifts for someone who has everything?
For the astrology-loving person on your holiday shopping list, gift a zodiac-themed item, like these huggie hoop earrings with their star sign on them, or this colorful, funky wall art that would look cute in a bathroom. Go the extra mile by making a custom photo book for the recipient, whether it’s of a vacation, their love story, or a collection of favorite moments across the years. They’ll love keeping it on their coffee table for frequent flipping-through.
What do you give someone who is impossible to shop for?
For the person who has everything, think about what means more to them than any material possessions, and lean into tugging on their heartstrings. For example, send in a photo of their first home or a building on their college campus, and receive a custom watercolor painting of the special location. Or, snag this gorgeous gold locket and put teeny photos of their parter, dog, or kid inside. Finally, go super sentimental by personalizing this ring (in gold or silver) with a loved one’s handwriting engraved.
