    If they're anything like me, they'd prefer to pick their own homewares, so maybe a voucher?
    Or a bottle of champagne and voucher for local take away.

    A voucher. You can’t buy them something practical because chances are they have bought that stuff already and unpractical stuff is very personal. What you buy might never be used.

    Just give them the money and then they can choose whatever they want.

    Or a nice house plant! It can be quite expensive to build up your plant collection from scratch.
