Stuck for a unique gift? Here's what to get the person who has everything

Because we all know at least one.

RIGHT NOW, MORE than a few people are sweating over what to get one particular person in their lives for Christmas.

You know the one – the person who never wants anything, insists that you don’t get them anything, and who already has everything? Them.

Here are some gift ideas for those notoriously tricky gift-ees, from the extravagant to the just plain silly.

A cinema voucher

Most local cinemas offer vouchers, so give them the gift of a few films – and a big bag of popcorn and sweets to munch. Who could ask for more?

A portable phone charger

Bear with us here – it may seem like absolutely no craic, but anyone who is in any way attached to their phone could do with one of these.

You can even get handy ones with built-in torches, hand warmers, the lot. Phonesonline.ie has a selection of the gadgets from €19.99.

A personalised calendar

Everyone needs a calendar, so why not get them a special one featuring their own mug (or special memories) for every month?

VistaPrint.ie can sort you out, with prices starting at around €15.

Books for the bathroom

And finally… a charity donation

If they really do have EVERYTHING, you might as well make them feel sound. Pick a charity close to their heart and give generously in their name. Ahhh. Feels good.
