It is difficult to know what to give someone who has it all. Living in the United States I've come to learn that most of us "have it all" and just don't realize it. Often times we think someone has it "all" and they don't really. Sometimes it is just a matter of tuning into what people want or need.

If you like to bake then the perfect give for you to give is a batch of brownies or some other food gift. Everyone loves brownies and if they don't well then there's just something wrong with them. Everyone has to eat and if you are close enough to this person to give them a gift you should know what their favorite treats are.

You can give them a gift of food on any occasion as long as you wrap them for the occasion. The way you wrap something can make it just as memorable or as important as the gift itself.

To make your gift more memorable try these wrapping ideas. You could wrap the food gift in some kind of functional packaging. For example if the person receiving the gift drinks tea then give them a tea kettle with their favorite tea inside.

If you are shipping the gift then try using real popcorn as packing materials instead of the Styrofoam popcorn that is normally used. Take care to line the box with plastic to protect the contents and wrap the gift in protective plastic so they don't get a messy gift.

Instead of using wrapping paper and bows that would get thrown away use a tin with refrigerator magnets. You can have magnets made with pictures of loved ones. You can also have coffee mugs printed with photos on them and put their favorite blend of coffee inside the mug.

Using more expensive wrapping paper can make your food gift more memorable. You don't have to spend much more to get some really fancy wrap and do it up right.

Regardless, whatever gift you decide to give as long as it comes from the heart the recipient should be very pleased. You shouldn't worry over whether or not they will like the gift. The fact that you gave them a gift in the first place should mean a lot to them. If you decided to be creative with your gift it should mean even more to them.
