You are finally near the bottom of your Christmas shopping list and you have just discovered that there is one person who you simply do not have one single idea of what to buy for them. That one person is the woman who has everything. For you, this means you are going to have to be creative in providing her with a Christmas gift that is not run of the mill and something that she might not get for herself.

A. Consider something handmade - if you are a great cook, or a great crochet buff, or if you knit or do other types of needlepoint the woman who has everything might not have those skills.

1. Scarf - you can knit or crochet a scarf

2. Wall hanging - you can cross stitch a wall hanging

3. Hankies/Pillow slips - you can embroider hankies and/or pillow slips

4. You can make sachets for her dresser drawers

5. You can make extravagant meals and desserts

B. Gift Cards - even the woman who has everything probably loves to shop. Find out what her favorite store is and provide her with a gift card. If you are looking for some thing specific, you can consider gift cards such as:

1. Manicure - how luxurious it would be to be treated to a manicure;

2. Pedicure - even the woman who has everything often will not treat herself this way;

3. Day Spa - a day of pampering for the woman who has everything;

4. Yard Work - find a local contractor and pay for a season of yard work;

5. House Work - a local cleaning service for the woman who has everything;

6. Favorite Restaurant - find out her favorite restaurant and provide her a gift card

C. Donations - if the woman who has everything truly does have everything then another option is to make a donation in her name to charity. Some options include:

1. Her favorite cause - we all have them;

2. Local food pantry - help the local food pantry by making a donation in her name;

3. Local shelter - make a donation in her name to a local shelter

D. Other Unusual gifts - there are some other unusual gifts that you can give the woman who has everything. Some of them depend on her personal preferences:

1. Subscription to a movie service - if the woman who has everything loves movies get a subscription to a service like NetFlix

2. Engraved items - Consider buying the woman who has everything a personal gift and having it engraved

3. Book Club Membership - if the woman who has everything loves to read and you can help by providing a book club membership

4. Babysitting - does the woman who has everything have children? Offer a night (or more) of babysitting so she can go out

There are hundreds of small ways that you can provide that perfect gift for the woman who has everything. These are just a few of the options for Christmas gifts for the woman who has everything.
