29 Christmas presents for people who have everything, want nothing
This entry was posted in News, Gifts on 30th November 2021 by Marci Cornett
When we asked our community who they find it hardest to buy for at Christmas, we saw a theme emerge: ‘the person who literally has everything already’. Seems we all have at least one of them in our lives. So we got to work coming up with 29 Christmas presents to delight and surprise these hard-to-buy-for people… even if they swear they already own everything under the sun.
It’s all in the grouping
What’s the secret to finding that perfect present for someone who professes they don’t want/need anything?
It’s to surprise them with a grouping!
In other words, you’re going to gather a small collection of related items that are more fun when experienced together. They could follow a theme (like products that come from bees) or they could align with the recipient’s interests (like local food or zero-waste living).
Odds are, they would’ve never thought to put such a selection together themselves. And as it turns out, you don’t have to either, because we’ve done the thinking for you and listed 29 groupings that make excellent presents when gifted together.
29 Christmas presents for people who are hard to buy for
This collection has ‘hard-to-buy-for’ dad written all over it. The safety razor gives a smoother shave than he’s used to, with less irritation and ingrown hairs, while the gentle cleansing bar protects the skin with a luscious lather, and the after shave cools and moisturises.
Cloud Picker Organic Coffee Peru | La Nueva Florida (Irish)
Know someone who’s really into their coffee? They’re going to love carrying around this sleek reusable coffee cup with its rotating lock that allows for easy sipping on the go. Add to it two thoughtfully sourced coffee varietals from an Irish specialty roaster, and you’ll be speaking your coffee lover’s language.
Dad, brother, son, partner, friend - any man in your life with a taste for spice will enjoy making their way through this unique food collection of chilli infusions. They’ll fire up his taste buds and add some heat to the chilly winter days that lie ahead.
Teens who are into sports or the gym will love this collection. A BIG water bottle helps them stay hydrated longer, and delicious, easy-to-eat sources of plant-based protein keep their muscles and energy levels fueled.
For someone who enjoys creating rituals, this collection will become their nighttime delight. The equinox calendar and oracle cards will put them in touch with the phases of the moon, while the snack bar, specially made for bedtime, and the night time tea will cast a serene vibe over their new nightly ritual.
For anyone who loves a good DIY project, or who’d like to grow their own food, but doesn’t have the space for a garden… home sprouting means they can grow a supply of fresh sprouts in just a few weeks, ready for adding to salads, sandwiches, and soups.
Get ready to delight that person you know who can’t get enough seafood or sea veg. They’ll adore this selection of premium tinned wild tuna, sardines, and mackerel, plus seaweed salt, to add umami flavour to any meal, and seaveg crispies for a nutritious snack whenever the craving strikes.
Even if the person you’re buying for already owns a diffuser, owning a second one just means they’ll be able to fill another room with beautiful, therapeutic scents. We have two choices here, the Mael Diffuser, which adds a touch of style and elegance to any room, and the Ultrasonic Diffuser that radiates a sequence of soft lights.
When paired with a few essential oils, either diffuser makes a thoughtful, calming gift that transforms the atmosphere of any room.
Who doesn’t love the taste of ginger this time of year? Its spicy heat not only warms the body, but it revs up the digestive system… just in time for festive feasting. This collection of healthy foods and drinks heavy on the ginger will keep the recipient feeling invigorated all season long.
Have a friend who’s all about the bees? They’re going to love scattering beebombs which, come springtime, pop up into a wildflower meadow that attracts and sustains bees. Throw in a few gorgeous beeswax candles and some remarkable raw honey to round out the collection and you’ll completely wow your friend.
The person you know who’s embraced a zero-waste lifestyle will love every piece in this food storage collection. Whether they’re having a sandwich, salad, soup, or a cold drink, they’ll have the containers they need to enjoy their lunch in style without any single-use packaging.
Another idea for your zero-waste friend… this small but mighty collection supports beautiful hair, skin, and lips without adding to the mountain of rubbish that beauty products typically produce. The handmade solid shampoo, long-lasting compostable exfoliator, and nourishing lip balm in a reusable tin just might become your friend’s new favourite beauty essentials.
There are so many people who would love to be treated to a good breakfast: new parents, busy college students, frontline workers, night shift workers, shop staff working the Christmas season (wink wink).
If any of those people are in your life, look no further than this collection. They’ll appreciate your thoughtfulness, and the fact that they don’t have to leave home to get a lovely breakfast.
Present this collection to any chocolate lover in your life and they’ll instantly light up. Each type of chocolate is ethically sourced, sustainably made, and produced to preserve the inherent healthful properties in cacao. Oh yeah… and each is absolutely exquisite.
This selecgtion is a celebration of our incredible women food producers who also happen to be some of Ireland’s most talented artisans. Aren’t we lucky to call them our own? The unique flavorus are sure to please anyone who loves good food and experiencing tastes delightfully out of the ordinary.
The vegan in your life will swoon over these Irish-made condiments. If they’re an avid cook, they’ll love experimenting with each to come up with new dressings, marinades, and sauces. If they’re not a cook, each is ready to use as is, no culinary skill needed. A whole new world of flavour awaits.
You know that person who wishes Christmas lasted all year long? This Christmas Spirit collection will help them make the most of the season as it captures the iconic scents, tastes, and traditions we all look forward to each year.
Psst… this collection is also an excellent option for someone you don’t know very well, like a teacher or a distant relative.
Who wouldn’t love to have Christmas dessert sorted for them? And since festive feasting calls for a selection of desserts, we’ve included our own house-made spelt Christmas Cake as the main dessert event, plus some fudge and after dinner chocolates perfect for nibbling while lingering around the table.
With this collection, your gluten-free loved one doesn’t have to worry about missing out on the season’s most craved flavours. They’ll get to enjoy Christmas pudding, mince pies, and Christmas cake, every bit as scrumptious as the gluten-containing versions out there.
Here’s the scene you’re setting for your friend… They make a mug of indulgent hot chocolate accented with gorgeous orange powder. Next they light a clean-burning candle fragranced with calming ylang-ylang. They slip into a bath infused with detoxifying seaweed. And after a restful period of soaking, they emerge to hydrate with a soothing and rejuvenating body oil enriched with bergamot and rosemary. It’s the ultimate gift of relaxation.
Whether you’re gifting a kid or a kid-at-heart, this assortment of fun and festive sweets is sure to make them smile. Best of all, unlike what you get with mainstream sweets, there are no artificial flavours, colours, or fillers to dilute the merriment.
Just because your friend avoids white sugar doesn't mean they have to forgo all sweet treats. They’re going to love this collection of indulgent chocolates 100% free from refined sugar and instead sweetened with ingredients like dates and coconut sugar. You’re about to make your sugar-free friend’s (holi)day.
This is the complete body pampering experience that includes a luxurious (and Irish-made) cream, wash, or scrub to look after the lips and the feet, as well as everything in between. It’s a big dose of TLC that’s just right for giving to a loved one as a sign of your deep appreciation.
With things so busy this time of year, it’s easy to overlook weekend breakfasts… until Saturday morning arrives and there’s nothing in the cupboard. But when you give this sprouted pancakes recipe kit to your friend, they’ll be able to whip up a special breakfast at a moment’s notice, without needing a trip to the shops. (Make sure to send your friend this link for the easy pancake recipe.)
If you ask us, the best Christmases are the ones filled with cosy moments sitting by the fire (or the yule log on Netflix) to relax with a warming drink. So this selection is all about giving the recipient a variety of teas and mulled wine mix, that way they’ll always have something seasonally spiced and festive to sip away on whenever the moment presents itself.
Mother, daughter, sister, partner, friend - the woman in your life you wish to celebrate will adore this Women’s Spirit Collection. The 2022 Diary is filled with ancient Irish wisdom to help her nurture her mind, body, and spirit all year long. Marilyn Glenville’s The Natural Health Bible for Women will become her go-to reference for a deeper understanding of her wellbeing. The Female Essence and the two kinds of women’s teas are designed to facilitate a sense of rootedness in her own spirit and being. It’s a gift filled with love and respect.
Choose any one of these seasonal skincare sets for a gift that’s ready to go and already assembled in an attractive package. In general, we recommend bodycare sets for people you don’t know well (like Weleda For Hands Regenerate & Moisturise Set or Dr Hauschka Refreshing Shower Set). Then, for the natural beauty lovers in your life, you can choose among the skincare sets to treat them to a spa-like facial experience at home.

And our final gift for the person that’s hard to buy for is also a pre-selected collection. In this case, it’s all about giving a luxurious bath time experience. We’ve chosen to include in the Lovely Bath Pack a clean-burning candle, multiple soothing soaks and bath bombs, and a nourishing body oil. Because who doesn’t enjoy some well-earned relaxation this time of year?

As far as Christmas ordering goes, If there’s something important you want in time for Christmas, be sure to place your order by Sunday the 12th of December. We’ll continue to ship orders through Thursday the 23rd of December, but, as we all know, shipping slows down this time of year, so it’s better to order on the sooner side.
We wish you and your family a Christmas filled with joyful moments and happy faces.
