Don’t stress about finding the perfect gift for those who have everything – Stylist has you covered with this list of gifts designed specifically for the people it is impossible to buy for. 


We all have that one friend or family member who is impossible to buy for. No matter how thoroughly you scour the internet or prompt them for ideas, the search always comes up empty, as they seem to already have everything they could want. 

After years of buying them thoughtful gifts, it’s natural for inspiration to dry up – it happens to us all. But, never fear, Stylist is on hand to provide some maverick suggestions to surprise, spoil or simply bring a massive smile to the faces of your loved ones this Christmas.

From fragrant home accessories to a limited edition version of the viral Stanley cup, there’s something for everyone in this carefully curated list.
