2022 Holiday Gift Guides: Day 10 — “For People Who Have Everything”
Everyone’s got that one person on their list who needs nor wants anything. So what do you get them? My usual route is to go for food and below are a few ways to play that out. Who doesn’t want or need that, right?
But there are some random indulgences and items that might bring a smile to their face. Here are my picks.
GIFT GUIDE DAY 10: FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE EVERYTHING
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen my love letter to the Beekman 1802 Fruitcake. It’s made in Sharon Springs, NY and only available for a couple months out of the year. I know, I know… but it’s fruitcake! I promise you it’s delicious. When it arrives, it’s wrapped in cheesecloth and you’re encouraged to soak it in brandy to add a little moisture + continue to deepen the flavors. It’s my favorite holiday treat to nibble on at breakfast and, second to Christmas music, the thing that helps me kick off the holiday season. Hot tip: buy yourself one and keep it in the freezer to keep Christmas with you all through the year.
Personalized items are a thoughtful gesture and don’t have to be exorbitant. I actually used to buy these personalized notebooks for my coworkers which was fun for note-taking in meetings and general life organization. These beautiful ones from Minted come in a rainbow of colors, styles and options. These notebooks can also be customized in various ways from interior styles (yes they have grid options for those bullet journal enthusiasts), as well as monthly or weekly planner outlines.
Give the gift of getting to know oneself on a biologically intimate level! If your hard-to-shop-for recipient has already gone down the path of finding out their own DNA profile, perhaps consider offering the same option for their pooch! Doggie DNA kits can help owners who’ve always wondered what mix their mutt is made of can find clarity in these easy-to-use tests.
4) Jeni’s Grand Holiday Ice Cream Collection
I scream, you scream who doesn’t scream for ice scream? Jeni’s Ice Cream is a Midwest-based producer founded by a James Beard Award-winning maker, Jeni Britton. Her Grand Holiday Collection can be shipped nationwide and features flavors like Boozy Eggnog, White Chocolate Peppemint and Mexican Hot Chocolate, to name a few.
5) Game of Phones Card (and Phone) Game
The game that uses your iPhone to conduct fun scavenger hunts with friends! Cards prompt players to use their phones to fulfill prompts like seeing who’s the fastest at creating an emoji masterpiece, showing off photos they took, or finding the weirdest image search result for their name.
