Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or annual holiday, some people are just so difficult to find gifts for. Of course, you want to buy them something meaningful and memorable that will last longer than the day it is unwrapped but finding the perfect present can be such a struggle.
In a modern age where people can order what they want at the click of a button, it can be hard to find a worthwhile gift when that person has everything they could possibly want. So, it raises the question: what do you buy the person that has everything?
If you’re one of those people fretting, then don’t panic. Here’s just a few sparks of inspiration that’ll help save you from those gift shopping nightmares.

Something Different
Some people just can’t be pleased and require a gift so out of the ordinary they might not have ever thought they needed it. Why not try something different for this person?
Ancestry DNA Test
The mystery of our ancestors will forever beguile us, wanting to know where we truly come from. Is there a long lineage linking you back to an ancient king or queen? Or were you from a foreign far away land?
Just by sending a simple saliva sample, the Ancestry.com DNA test can tell you about your ethnicity and identify all potential relatives around the world, so why not surprise a friend or family member?
Lord & Ladyship Titles
Of course, everyone has heard of adopting a wild animal, or naming a star after someone, but crowning someone with the title of Lord or Lady is an honour only you can bestow.
The person in question will receive a certificate, 5 square feet of land, a title crest, and the entitlement to call themselves an official Lord or Lady by British law. It’s an odd gesture, but sure to put a smile one their face.
These are just a handful of gift ideas for you to buy the person that has everything, but if you have any of your own strange and wonderful concepts, or if you’ve received an especially different gift you want to share then comment below.
