Gifts for the person who has everything
"They have everything" almost never means literally everything — it means everything obvious. The move is to stop competing on objects entirely and go one of two directions: a genuine upgrade to something they already use, or an experience that doesn't compete with their stuff at all.
Upgrade something they already use daily, not something new
A better power bank than the one dying in their bag, real wireless earbuds instead of the tangled wired ones, a smartwatch if they've mentioned wanting to track fitness — these work because they're solving an annoyance the person already has, not introducing a new object they need to find a place for. Ask yourself what they complain is "fine, I guess" — that's the gift.
A class or experience sidesteps the "has everything" problem entirely
A photography masterclass, a proper gaming accessory for someone who already has the console, a voucher for something they've mentioned wanting to try — none of these compete with what they already own, because they're not objects being added to a shelf.
If you genuinely can't guess what tech or upgrade they'd want
This is exactly the category where guessing wrong is most likely — brand loyalty, specific specs, and personal preference all matter more in tech than almost anywhere else. A wishlist removes that risk completely: they list the specific model or item, you gift from the list, no returns.
Skip these unless you're certain
Generic tech accessories in the wrong ecosystem (a case for a phone they don't have, a charger for the wrong device), and anything decorative — the "has everything" person by definition already solved decor. Function and experience beat decoration here, consistently.
Skip the guesswork entirely
