    Hi All,

    Its officially Christmas, have been trying to keep a lid on my Christmasness since August but now I am finally free!!! :D

    Anyway, my brother and his wife are in their mid to late 30's, no kids, do whatever they want, whenever they want, have their own home etc. So what do I get this couple who have everything?

    Every year they are the people who I havent a clue what to get. I want to finish my shopping this weekend and they are holding me up!!!

    Please help!

    thats a hard one. Why not get them maybe a very stylish upmarket candle like a joe malone or a l'occitane. You could get them a bottle of the upmarket spirits also, maybe cointreau, or a flavored brandy or something.

    Its hard to get for people who have everything.

    I would avoid vouchers though - you never know if the establishment will still be in existence when they want to use the voucher.

    sorry I can't be of more help.

    What are their interests and what is your budget?

    They both like football, he suports liverpool cant remember about her. They socialise a lot.

    I got them vouchers before and I hated it. Just once mind and i swore never again.

    Budget would be no more than 100 euro for the two of them

    Joe Malone is a great idea actually - might consider that, thanks!

    Probably a matter of personal tase, but if you are looking for nice candles I think it's hard to beat Moth to a Flame - Handmade gorgeous Irish candles [imo]

    Really good idea, you could get both family crests on it.

    you could go with personalised anything......I bought a personalised bathrobe for someone as a bit of a joke one year...went down surprisingly well

    You've got a decent budget there, so why not buy HIM a decent bottle of Whiskey (up to €50) and then maybe a small hamper for HER.

    OR if they like modern art, buy them a modern cuckoo clock! Sounds funny but I had the exact same problem with a couple who has everything and the modern clock was a big hit last christmas!

    A cuckoo clock sounds cool:)
    a cooking lesson or similar thing that they could do together?
    nice wine?
    I would make up a little hamper with a nice christmas decoration,a really nice candle.bottle of wine and their favourite sweets.

    Maybe a personalized bobblehead which would be a unique gift and also something that would be kept lifelong. A couple booblehead is what I would suggest for someone who has everything. Personalized boobleheads cost between $50 to $150.

    You can find such bobbleheads at http://www.custombobble.com or bobblehead.com, headbobble.com, custombobblehead.com.... there are plenty of them online.
