We all have that loved one who is hard to shop for. Whether it is your husband who buys himself whatever he wants when he wants it or your daughter-in-law whose tastes are impossible to please, finding a birthday gift for them becomes way more stressful than necessary. To help beat this conundrum, we’ve come up with ideas to help you find the perfect birthday gift for those people in your life you find it nearly impossible to shop for.
Make it Personal with a Zodiac-Themed Gift
For a gift that is personal without being too personal, a gift based on their zodiac sign is the perfect option. Since it’s their birthday, an astrological theme is right on the money. Figure out which sign aligns with their birthday here and find something that appeals to those traits and characteristics.
– Capricorn is extremely health conscious. They will love workout gear or a health food subscription box that keeps them trim.
– Aquarius is honest and affectionate— especially to their pets. Getting them something that taps into their love of their cat or dog will melt their heart.
– Pisces is a dreamer who loves to express themselves. A fun art or pottery craft is a great experience that helps them tap into their inner creative.
– Aries is an independent and natural leader, so something personalized like a monogrammed robe will appeal to their individualistic style.
– Taurus loves life’s indulgences, so a nice box of chocolates or a spa treatment will appeal to their tastes.
– Gemini is eccentric and has funky tastes. Find something one-of-a-kind like an antique serving platter or a statement ring to make them feel special.
– Cancer is a homebody and quite sentimental. A framed family photo or a super cozy cookbook will warm their soul.
– Leo is a natural showboat who loves to be pampered. A luxury gift set of grooming or pampering products will make them feel like a million bucks.
– Virgo is practical by nature and excels when able to express themselves verbally. A lovely notebook or planner is the best gift for this perfectionist.
– Libra is a romantic who loves the beautiful things in life. A leather-bound classic novel or handmade work of art will find room in their big heart.
– Scorpio is mysterious and secretive. A pair of large sunglasses that hide their eyes or a boutique candle they can enjoy at home are perfect gifts for their private nature.
– Sagittarius is an adventurer who lives out loud. An airline gift certificate taps into their love of spontaneity and travel.
Food and Drink: The Best Gifts for Those Who Have Everything
– If you look through your loved one’s zodiac traits and still don’t know what to get your loved one, remember this: food and drink are always great gifts. Food and drink are not just stuff, they are necessities. They don’t clutter up the house for years on end and you can personalize it to your friend or family member’s interests.
– If they are health conscious or trying to lose weight, a healthy subscription box delivers tasty and nutritious snacks that will keep them from grazing on junk food.
– If they love wine, a bottle of their favorite vintage is a great idea. Or try one of these unique gift ideas for wine lovers that think outside the bottle.
– For children and the young-at-heart, a box of chocolates is always welcome.
– The adventurous person in your life can explore the globe from the comfort of home with a selection of candies from around the world.
– If their meal is not complete without a little spice, a bottle of artisan hot sauce will find a happy home in their pantry.
Everyone has a person in their life that is difficult to shop for when their birthday rolls around. To make gift buying easier for you, narrow things down based on their interests. Finding something that appeals to their zodiac sign characteristics is a fun way to find something they will like. Or you can never go wrong with a food or drink gift. As long as you find a way to make it a little personal, they will love it.
