Coming up with the perfect gift for a loved one is not always easy.
It is even more difficult to find good birthday or Christmas gifts for a man who has everything!
So here’s a list of gift ideas that you can use to surprise him. And remember it’s not the amount of money you spend on the gift. It’s the thought that counts!
What to get someone who has everything?
Yes, he may have everything. But, if you put a lot of thought into it and come up with a gift that is personal, he is sure to appreciate it. Here’s a list of ideas to help you get there.
DIY Gifts for the man who has everything
A handmade gift always beats any store-bought one, hands-down. Especially when it comes to gifts for a man who has everything. And you don’t have to be specially talented to do that. It’s not hard to come up with a simple DIY present that can mean a lot to him.
- A photo collage or a video: Create a collage or video using his pictures, right from the time he was a baby to now. There are plenty of apps available to help you create a collage or video together. If you don’t have enough pictures of him, enlist the help of his friends or family members too, I am sure they will be happy to contribute. You could even get his family and friends to add messages for him – either as video clips for your video or text messages that you can add to your collage. Add some awesome music, some thoughtful sub titles and watch him tear up!
- Food, food, food: They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Cook a special meal for him – a meal that reminds him of his childhood maybe? Or if you don’t know how to cook, stock his cupboards with some special favorite food – again, if possible, something that can make him nostalgic.
- Do his chores for him: Give him a day off and let him relax by doing his chores around the house.
Experiences you can gift someone who has everything
- Sign up for a fun class: Book him (and you?) for a one time lesson – dancing, music, cooking – anything fun he hasn’t done before!
- Get him to try something new: You’ll always remember the day if you try a new experience together. Think bungee jumping, scuba diving, hovering in a hot air balloon…
- Go on a quiet trip: Take him on a short vacation to somewhere remote and serene he’s never been, whether it’s for a day, a weekend or a whole week. Leave your phones behind and recharge yourselves.
- Get tickets to a sporting event: Get him tickets to go see his favorite sports team so that he can spend the day either with you or some friends. Or if the pandemic doesn’t allow for it, set up a nice cosy TV area where he can put his feet up and watch it from home, with loads of snacks.
- Take him to a nice offbeat restaurant: Is there somewhere he has always wanted to eat but never been? A night out is the perfect gift to celebrate a special event.
- A massage: Help him relieve some stress from work with a relaxing massage, either from you or a professional.
- Go to the zoo: Going to a zoo or an aquarium can be a fun and stress-free outing to make some memories for the day.
- Let him hang with the boys: It might sound simple, but sometimes time to chill with friends can be a special and thoughtful gift, especially if he has kids or a busy work schedule.
- Plan a romantic evening: If this guy with everything is a romantic partner for you, then a romantic evening complete with candlelight and roses is the perfect gift to see where the night leads.
- Golf outing: A day out golfing with friends or family can be a great way to destress and unwind for a day.
- Take him to an amusement park: Amusement parks are a fun way to spend the day together riding roller coasters and eating junk food. Simple joys of life.
- Gift Card: Giving him a gift card to his favorite store or restaurant gives him the flexibility to enjoy what he wants for his birthday.
- Go to a casino: Taking him to a casino can be a great gift for a guy, with a chance to win big.
- Get tickets to his favorite musician: He will enjoy going to see his favorite band or artist.
- Let him plan the day: Give him the freedom to do what he wants for the day, either with you or alone, with no budget or time restraints.
- Clean and wash his car: He’ll appreciate climbing into a nice clean car the next day.
- A tattoo: Take him to get a tattoo that he’ll remember forever.
- Have a celebrity do a cameo: watch his face light up when you hire his favorite celebrity or athlete to send a quick congratulations or happy birthday.
Unique gifts for someone who has everything
- Gift a hobby – A man who has everything might appreciate something that helps him kick start a new hobby or rekindle an old one. For example, if he has a flair for drawing but hasn’t painted since a long time, get him a bunch of paints, brushes and a canvas. Or a musical instrument.
- Name a star: It might seem a little cheesy, but if he already has everything then a star named after him can be a fun gesture. Then you can find it find it in the night sky together.
- Bumper sticker: There’s always room on his car for a funny bumper sticker that makes him laugh.
- A pet: Whether it’s a dog, a cat, or even just a fish, get him a small pet that will bring him companionship and he will be able to have around for a while.
- T-shirt for his favorite sports team: A man can never have too many t-shirts. He can wear it to watch a game or just around the house.
- Stock his cupboards up with his favorite beer: If he’s a beer lover, then he’ll be able to kick back and relax with a cold one.
- Lottery Tickets: Lottery tickets can be a fun and exciting gift to celebrate an event, and can be a gift that keeps on giving!

Pack your real gift in a prank box
Get a box that looks as if it contains a prank gift, but put your ‘real’ gift inside it. Warning – gauge the amount of humor your man can take before going in for this. The description on these prank boxes is not easy to take, or for everyone!
“I’m kind of a big deal”
“I’m in a glass case of emotion!”
“You stay classy San Diego”
Of course, he can write with it too…
A fake ‘winning’ lottery ticket
Gift a lottery ticket that looks real and watch them scratch off the numbers to discover the ‘winning’ ones. Warning – make sure you don’t give it to someone who desperately needs to make money off a lottery ticket!
