Tips For Finding The Perfect Birthday Gift For The Person Who Has Everything
Do you have a hard to shop for person on your gift giving list like I do? We all know that finding the perfect gift for someone who seems to have everything can be a serious challenge. Yes, you can pick the easy route and gift them a gift card so that they can pick out what they would like, but it is always better to do a bit of research to figure out exactly what will make the perfect gift for this hard to shop for person as it will be much more personal and memorable. Below I have several options that will make the perfect gift for that birthday gal or guy on your gift giving list and especially for the person who has everything. Let’s take a look……
Experience Gifts
Consider giving your recipient a memorable experience such as a hot air balloon ride, cooking class, or a trip to a new city. After doing a bit of online research I have found that you can find the best birthday experience gifts that will really impress your gift recipient. Many online sites allow you to search for experiences depending on the state and/or city that your recipient lives in and there are so many wonderful options to choose from. You can treat your recipient to a Mixology Class in NYC, a New Yorker Helicopter Tour, a Miami Speedboat Adventure or even a Mulholland Trail Horseback Riding Tour in LA to name a few. There are thousands of experiences available and anyone would be lucky to recieve a gift like this as the memories will last a lifetime and they will always remember that you gifted them that amazing birthday experience!
Personalized Gifts
A personalized gift like a monogrammed leather wallet, a personalized set of wine glasses, or a custom-made piece of jewelry can show that you put thought and effort into their gift. Personalized gifts are a great way to show your loved ones that you care. By adding a special touch to a gift, it becomes more meaningful and memorable and options for personalized gifts are endless, from monogrammed jewelry to custom photo albums and more. Whatever you choose, it’s sure to be a hit and treasured for years to come plus the recipient will always think of you when they use it.
Subscription Services
Give them the birthday gift that keeps on giving with a subscription service like a monthly wine club, gourmet food box, or even a magazine subscription. Subscriptions services can make a great gift option for that special someone in your life that seems to have everything. Whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or just because, there are many options out there to choose from that cater to a variety of interests. From streaming services like Netflix or Disney+ for movie lovers to meal delivery services like Blue Apron or HelloFresh for foodies, there’s something for everyone. You could also consider gifting a subscription to a book club, monthly beauty box, or even a fitness program. With so many choices available, you’re sure to find the perfect subscription service to make your loved one’s birthday extra special!
Charity Donation
If the above suggestions are not the perfect fit for your birthday guy or gal, you can always consider giving a charity donation as a birthday gift and there are lots of options available. You can choose a cause that aligns with your gift recipient’s interests: Think about the causes that the birthday person is passionate about and choose a charity that supports those causes. For example, if they love animals, consider donating to an animal rescue organization. The coolest part is that many charities allow you to make the donation in your recipients name and this is a great way to show the birthday person that you care about their interests and want to support a cause that’s important to them.
Time Together
Sometimes the best gift is simply spending time together. Giving time together as a birthday gift can be a wonderful way to show someone how much you care. Whether it’s a day trip to a nearby city, a weekend getaway in the mountains, or simply a homemade dinner and movie night, the gift of quality time can create lasting memories and strengthen relationships. And the best part is, it doesn’t have to be expensive or extravagant to be meaningful. With a little creativity and thoughtfulness, you can create a truly special experience that your loved one will treasure for years to come. Make sure to take lots of pictures!
So what do you think of these creative birthday gift ideas for that special person in your life that seems to have everything? I have to say I am for sure putting out the hints to my family that I want an experience gift for my birthday this year as that’s something unique and unlike anything that I have done before plus it sounds like so much fun. Remember, it’s the thought that counts and even the smallest of gestures can go a long way in showing someone how much you care.

Time together is something that I treasure more and more these days. Though, there are some awesome gift ideas for any taste and preference.

We have this issue in our house – and having something personalized or doing an experience is always what I go for! I feel like instead of experience vouchers, booking up the event to be on their birthday has worked better for us, as vouchers are often forgotten about.
