Gifts for Someone Who Has Everything: Accessories They Haven't Thought Of
Gifts for someone who has everything require finding something they haven't already bought for themselves. These recipients have the means and initiative to get what they want, which means typical gift guides fail them entirely. The solution isn't spending more money: it's finding genuinely different categories they haven't explored.
People who have everything usually lack things in unexpected categories. They've covered the obvious: tech, home goods, standard jewelry: but haven't ventured into alternative accessories, body jewelry, or statement pieces that require style courage. The gift they haven't thought of often lives in a category they've never considered for themselves.
This guide covers gifts for people who seem to have everything but actually have gaps in specific categories. You'll find accessories that introduce new style territories, pieces that require someone else's encouragement to try, and items that genuinely surprise because they come from unexpected places. Focus on gifts that make them say "I never would have bought this for myself."
Understanding the Challenge

When They Literally Own Everything Already
People who have everything pose unique gifting challenges: they've already purchased what they want, need nothing practical, and likely possess better taste than most gift-givers. Success requires thinking beyond objects to experiences, distinctive finds, or items they wouldn't buy themselves.
Surprise the unsurprisable with truly distinctive pieces, handcrafted accessories, limited items they haven't discovered, or accessories enhancing experiences rather than just adding to collections.
When someone has everything, give them something truly different: distinctive enough they don't own it, quality enough they'll value it, interesting enough it surprises even the unsurprisable.
