Gifts for the Person Who Has Everything: 30+ Ideas They'll Actually Love
The Challenge: What Do You Give Someone Who Has Everything?
We all know that person. They own the latest gadgets, have a closet full of clothes, possess every hobby tool imaginable, and seem to buy themselves anything they want. When their birthday, anniversary, or holiday rolls around, you're left staring blankly at gift websites, overwhelmed by the question: What do I possibly give them?
The truth is, people who "have everything" don't actually have everything material—they have everything ordinary. What they lack are truly unique experiences, identities, and items that stand out from the predictable.
This comprehensive guide explores gifts that transcend the ordinary, focusing on experiences, personalization, novelty, and items so unique that even the most well-equipped person doesn't own them.
Why Traditional Gifts Fail for These People
They Already Own It
If they want something common or popular, they've likely already bought it for themselves.
Gift Cards Feel Impersonal
While practical, gift cards lack the thoughtfulness and emotion that make gifts memorable.
Generic Items Get Donated
Another candle, picture frame, or decorative item often ends up in the donation pile.
They Value Experiences Over Things
People who have everything material often appreciate experiences, memories, and unique identities more than physical objects.
The Solution: Focus on the Extraordinary
Gifts for people who have everything should be:
- Unexpected: Something they wouldn't buy for themselves
- Unique: Items or experiences uncommon enough to be genuinely novel
- Memorable: Creates lasting memories or stories
- Personal: Shows thought and understanding of who they are
- Experience-based: Provides experiences rather than just more stuff

How to Present Gifts to People Who Have Everything
Focus on the Story
When presenting the gift, emphasize the thought process, the experience it provides, or the meaning behind it.
Create an Experience Around the Gift
Don't just hand them a box. Create a moment, ceremony, or reveal that makes the gift itself an experience.
Include a Personal Letter
Explain why you chose this gift, what it means, and how you hope they'll enjoy it.
Present It Creatively
- Scavenger hunt leading to the gift
- Surprise reveal at a special location
- Envelope with tickets or certificates rather than physical items
Final Tips for Gifting Success
1. Think Beyond the Physical
People who have everything material often appreciate experiences, identities, and memories more than objects.
2. Consider Their Unused Time
Gift experiences that encourage them to do something they wouldn't prioritize: a weekend away, a class, an adventure.
3. Tap Into Their Identity
Gifts that enhance or celebrate who they are (or who they'd like to be) resonate more than generic items.
4. Make It Personal
Customization and personalization show thought and effort beyond just spending money.
5. Embrace the Unexpected
The more surprising and unusual, the more likely they'll appreciate and remember it.
Conclusion
Gifting someone who has everything isn't actually impossible—it just requires thinking beyond the ordinary. Focus on experiences over things, identity over objects, and meaning over material value.
Whether you choose to make them nobility with a digital title, send them floating in a hot air balloon, commission custom art, or plant a tree in their name, the key is choosing something truly unique that shows you understand what they value most.
The person who has everything doesn't need another thing—they need something extraordinary.
