5 Best Gift Ideas for Christmas for someone who has everything

With so many little knickknacks and gifts available at Sanity, I find myself shopping there more often than not and winding up with a lot of little bits and pieces that I probably don’t need, creating quite the dilemma for my friends and family when Christmas rolls around as they don’t know what to get me. I’m sure that there are others out there who are in the same boat, so on behalf of all the hoarders of the consumer world, I apologise, but to make it up to you I have put together a list of five gifts to buy someone this Christmas who has everything. These are five gifts that this particular individual won’t have, and I should know, as I don’t own any of these items, but I want to. So, without further ado, let’s get stuck into this list!

Australia’s most unbelievable true stories book –

I am always intrigued about absurd true stories. It’s a guilty pleasure of mine. From unsolved mysteries to the weird, I just have a fascination with them. Australian author Jim Haynes, has compiled a book of Australia’s most unbelievable true stories. It is the ultimate collection of unbelievable true Australian stories: the unknown, the forgotten, and the surprising. This makes for a great coffee table book but also just an enjoyable read in general. This will make a great stocking stuffer and the receiver of the gift very happy.

Smart Ass Game –

Board games have been making a comeback these last few years. There seems to be a new game every couple of months so it's hard to keep track of all the different types of games out there and with such variety it's hard to choose the perfect game. Well I am here to tell you that there is the perfect game, ‘Smart Ass’. With over 200 Who, What and Where question cards, there is no need to wait your turn, you just yell out the answer. This game is the perfect game to play with your friends and family. It will make for a great gift over Christmas and keep the recipient very busy over the holiday period.

Child's Play 4 – Chucky Blacklight Pop Vinyl –

Pop Vinyl’s have been a staple in the popular culture for the best part of two decades. The simple designs and the wide variety of characters from popular tv shows, film, comic books, novels, music and the world of sport. As a collector myself, I am constantly adding to my collection, but with the wide range of pop’s out there, I constantly find myself falling behind. Sanity has the best variety of Pop Vinyl available in Australia. So, finding the right pop vinyl has become 10 times easier. One of the best Pops in recent years is the Child's Play 4 – Chucky pop vinyl, blacklight edition. The detail of Chucky here is exquisite with the blacklight colours adding to the design and also brightening up your collection. This is the perfect gift this Christmas for any pop vinyl collector.

Vegemite 500-piece puzzle –

Puzzles are always a winner with my friends and family. With so many options out there, you are guaranteed to get something that will keep the recipient will adore. Sanity has the perfect puzzle for any Australian with their new ‘Vegemite 500-piece puzzle’. This puzzle is the perfect gift for friends, family or even as a secret-Santa gift for your work colleagues. Vegemite is an Australian icon, you either love it or you hate it but there is no denying its cultural stamp left on our great Country. Overseas we are known for it and the iconic red and yellow label can be spotted anywhere. So, to have a puzzle re-creating the iconic Australian product is the perfect gift. If you have friends and/or family living abroad as well, then it’s the perfect gift to send over to them, to remind them of home. Being only 500 pieces, you can easily finish this one in an afternoon as well. The perfect wind down activity on Christmas afternoon.

Harry Potter – 2022 Pocket Pop Vinyl – Advent Calendar –

If you had to ask what the biggest film franchise was in the 2000s, the answer is easy. It’s Harry Potter. Yes the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) kicked off, yes there were ‘The Lord of The Rings’ films, yes there was ‘Twilight’ and yes we had two of the three Star Wars prequels, but no other franchise captures the hearts of the world like Harry Potter did. J.K Rowling’s creation saw millions flock to their local department stores to pick up the books as they were released, waiting days to get their copy, and audience members wait out the front of movie theatres for hours to see a showing. Harry Potter took the world by storm. Whilst the core films and books have since finished with 2011’s ‘Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 2’, the world still wants more Harry Potter, and Harry Potter merchandise still sells like crazy. One of the best pieces of merch that will sell like crazy this year is the ‘Harry Potter, 2022 Pocket Pop Vinyl Advent Calendar’. This pocket pop advent calendar sees your favourite Harry potter characters in pocket pop vinyl form, hiding behind a hidden date for the month of December. It’s the perfect gift to give someone before Christmas, especially considering they are very unlikely to buy it for themselves. The pocket pop’s of your favourite characters are adorable and will make Harry Potter fans very, very happy.
