Valentine's Day Gift Baskets - What Gift to Get Someone Who Has Everything?

Valentine's Day, like many other holidays poses the perpetual problem of what gift to get someone who has everything. Where do you begin? You may be frustrated, asking yourself: Why should I get them anything? (They already have it all.) But remember, it's not just the gift, it's the thought-fulness behind the gift that is truly the most important in a gift recipient's eyes.

Brainstorming What Gift to Get Someone Who Has Everything:

This is one of the best ways to get ideas flowing. Sit down in a quiet space, take a few deep breaths and relax your mind and body. Focus your attitude on thoughtfulness and kindness. When you're ready, grab a pen and a piece of paper, and picture that person in your mind. Write down ANY word or feeling that describes the person. Don't stop to analyze, just write quickly, as soon as the thought enters your mind. Continue this for 2-3 minutes, then stop.

Now look over the words for a theme. What kinds of things is the person really into? Are there any accessories for this hobby, sport or interest that the person has mentioned recently? If this gift is for your significant other, what would create a significant impression, what might be a significant expression of your love, devotion, or friendship?

What kinds of items or sentiments could you gather in a Valentine's Day Gift Basket that would represent the feeling this person gives you? How would you like the person to react upon receipt of your gift?

What gift to get someone who has everything? Your thoughtfulness.
