Gifts for parents who already have everything

Each year it gets harder to choose a gift for parents. The flat is furnished, the kitchen is stocked, sweaters abound. "We don't need anything" is a signal — they want time and experiences, not things.

Give time instead of objects

A shared meal, a trip, a museum visit, theatre, a concert. For parents who have everything, your attention and time are more valuable than another item on a shelf.

If it must be an object, make it practical

  • A subscription to a paper or magazine they read
  • A voucher for their favourite restaurant
  • Service vouchers (cleaning, massage, hairdresser)
  • A quality consumable they wouldn't buy themselves (good olive oil, tea, wine)

Sentimental gifts win

A photo album, a printed memory book, a video greeting from the wider family, a holiday together. Parents remember these for years.
