The essentials

How do I choose a gift for someone who has everything?

Focus on experiences, consumables (food, drink, candles), or upgrades to something they use often. A donation in their name can also work.

What if I do not know what to get someone?

Listen for hints, ask a partner or friend, or choose a safe option: book, voucher, or a quality version of something they use (e.g. coffee, socks).

Are gift cards a cop-out?

Not necessarily. Many people prefer choice, especially for tech or clothes. Pair a gift card with a small thoughtful item or a note.
