My boss has everything money can buy. Every year it's harder to figure out what to buy for him. This year, I was looking for something for him and his new wife and found just the perfect thing. They are both sports fanatics (each loves a different football team) and I found a doormat that has his team logo on the left side and her team logo on the right side. Absolutely perfect! Now, what can I do to top that next year?

I know the problem. Obviously it is hard to buyt them gifts for a reason. They have everything they want and don't really give you any idea of what you can buy them. Something you know they would use is normally a good idea or for the female some jewelrey normally goes down a treat. As for the males, there normally harder to find something for esp. if you don't have an idea of what there into. If you can find something sport related I guess that would go down a treat - so long as they like sport that is, and if not, then maybe something car related if they like cars.

Sports stuff is a great idea for guys. Especially if you know what their favorite sport and team is. For me, I like NASCAR and some guys seem to dig chicks that are into NASCAR.

If The people on your gift list has every thing and they are picky why noe make a donation to a charity that they might support in their name. I don't have every thing I would like to have. But I like what I like and prefer to do without some thing than get what I don't like. So I would rather a donation was given in my name to my favorite charity.

That's a really cool idea. One I'll definitely take into consideration.

You could do one of two things. 1. You could make them something from the heart. 2. seach unique gifts on the net and see what you come up with. You never know what you'll find. Good luck either way.

LOL! You know what I mean. I just think it's difficult to try and buy gifts for people who are picky. I've gone the gift card route, but that gets tiresome year after year and even though they could get what they want, the gift card tells them how much money you intended spending on the person.

That would be my suggestion too. Get a gift card. The only way you can go wrong there is if you get the wrong store.
But they also make Visa gift cards now. They can be used just like a Visa where Visa is accepted.

If I got a gift card at lowes, I'd be likely to keep it for myself... I'm addicted to home improvement stores.

How about a gift certificate? Maybe to their favorite clothing store or even a restaurant. Everyone has to eat sometime!

I'm sure there's plenty of stores I could hit considering this person likes to shop ;-) Thanks for the idea.

Gift cards are the best thing to get for people who are hard to buy for. I would get a walmart gift card. I mean, who doesnt shop at Wal-mart?
OK, some people say they don't shop at Wal-Mart. If your friend doesn't, then find a store they go to regularly and buy a gift card. Even grocery stores offer gift cards now.

Though one has everything some times if we give them gifts which make them remember their childhood they will be very happy.
If they are very close to you and you know about their chilhood buy something which makes them happy. If you don't know about their childhood, just ask them to tell something about their childhood. Every one interested in sharing their childhood memories.
All the best.

Perhaps you've found your answer to what to buy but I still want to share this with you... Find a PartyLite consultant in your area, faboulous, scented, 100% natural candles and amazing candleholders - exclusively made for PartyLite, some even handmade. It shouldn't be too hard to find one if you make a simple search for partylite consultant (or something like that) If you can't find one - tell me and i'll help you find one. I live in Sweden but as I am a consultant, all I really have to do is make phone call so I don't mind helping you - just let me know (or if any one else wants my help, you're welcome too). I do hope you'll find appropriate gifts - I can assure you that everyone likes PartyLite products - men too (my husband love to come home and the be welcomed by some lovely scent and he is NOT the one you'd expect like things like that!) - Good luck any ways :)

Gift cards are always nice. Then they can buy whatever they want.
