Christmas gift ideas for the person that’s hard to shop for
Find the right gift for that special someone that’s hard to buy for with these ideas.

Believe it or not, we are already in mid December which means that Christmas is right around the corner.
Arguably the hardest thing about Christmas is figuring out what to buy for all the important people in your life. And what makes this even harder, are the people who are impossible to shop for.
The good news is, we are here to do the hard work for you. With a curated gift guide full of ideas perfect for the people who have everything and want nothing!
Experience based gifts
Instead of buying something materialistic, why not give the gift of an experience? This is something that someone probably wouldn’t think to buy for themselves but could be a once in a lifetime opportunity.
Groupon
Choose from a wide range of gift options from Groupon, from dining experiences to Gold Glass movie tickets to spa days, there's something for everyone!
Or if you are having trouble choosing, why not buy a Groupon gift card to give them the freedom to choose their own gift?
Lots of Groupon’s experiences are also on sale at the moment so you may even be able to get a great deal.
Food subscriptions
The delicious gift that keeps on giving… a food subscription!
A subscription to a food service is the perfect gift for a busy person in your life who doesn’t have time to cook every night.
HelloFresh
Most of us have heard of the meal kit delivery service, but did you know that they sell gift cards?
A gift card from HelloFresh is quick and easy to organise and it allows the receiver to choose their own meal kits and have them delivered whenever they want!
A $75 gift card will feed 2 people for 3 nights and is the perfect intro to HelloFresh for someone who may already be tossing up whether they want to try it. You can also buy gift cards worth $90, $125 or $160 so you have options depending on your budget.
EveryPlate
Similar to Hello Fresh, a gift card from EveryPlate will allow your loved one to pick which delicious meal options they would like and have the meal kits delivered to their door.
You can choose between a $50, $70, $80 and $115 gift card. For context, a $70 gift card will feed 2 people with 5 meals.
Gift hampers
A gift hamper is an easy but thoughtful gift. There are so many different hamper options you can choose from depending on what your loved one likes.
Gourmet Basket
Gourmet Basket has a large range of gift hampers to choose from, from chocolate hampers for the sweet tooths, to gourmet food and wine hampers to pamper hampers featuring bath robes, sparkling wine and chocolate, there is something for everyone. The best bit is, the hamper will be delivered for you so you don’t even have to do any of the work!
The Hamper Emporium
Another great choice to find the perfect hamper for your loved one. From gourmet hampers featuring luxury wines and champagnes to cheese hampers, hampers made up of sweet treats and self care hampers, there is something here for everyone!
Streaming subscriptions
Most people have at least one subscription to a streaming service but the cost of this can add up. Why not give someone a subscription to one of the best streaming services so they can stream their favourite shows without having to worry about the monthly subscription cost.
Netflix
I can’t think of a better gift than free access to Netflix’s entire library. With its extensive range of content, including Netflix Originals like Stranger Things, The Crown and Squid Games as well as thousands of other movies and shows to choose from. Netflix gift cards can be bought online at Amazon where you can choose the amount you wish to spend and the gift card will be delivered to the recipient via email. Not only is it quick and easy, but I don’t know anyone who wouldn’t appreciate the gift of endless entertainment.
Binge
Binge is home to a lot of original content including Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead and Euphoria. For someone who only has a subscription to one of the more mainstream platforms, a Binge gift card is the perfect gift to allow them to broaden their horizons. Even better, a Binge gift card can also be used for Kayo, so if they are more into sports, this is still a great gift. Binge gift cards come in $20, $50 and $100 amounts and you can buy them online at Woolworths.
Amazon Prime Video
You can’t buy a gift card solely for Amazon Prime video but you can buy a gift card for Amazon. This makes an Amazon gift card a very versatile gift because it can be used on a wide range of things, including to purchase something from Amazon’s store, to pay for a subscription to Amazon Prime video or to access Amazon’s music or Kindle library! So, why not give the gift of choice this Christmas with an Amazon gift card!
Disney+
If you have a Disney lover in your life who doesn’t already have a subscription to Disney+, a gift card to the streaming service is the perfect gift! The downside is that someone who already has a Disney+ subscription can’t use a gift card and the only option is for a $119.99 gift card which gives a whole year of free streaming.
Ancestry.com DNA kit
Who doesn’t want to know more about their ancestry? An Ancestry.com DNA kit is unique and very personal as it allows the receiver to uncover more about their heritage and hopefully find new family connections. The best part is that these kits are now on sale so you could save up to $59 on your purchase!
