The Gift Guide For Women Who Have Everything

We all have that one friend or family member who is almost impossible to buy for.

She already has a perfectly good phone case, enough candles to heat a small village, and three bath sets from last Christmas that she hasn't opened. 

Her house is full of trinkets, her cupboards are the ghosts of stocking fillers past, present and probably future (we love a regifting queen) so when you ask her if there’s anything she wants, and she says ‘nothing’, you know it’s probably the truth.

So, what do you give a loved one whose house already looks like the inside of John Lewis?

Here’s our Spark guide for badass women who deserve more than token bath salts; these really scream ‘I LOVE YOU’ (amongst other things) and we’re as confident as a mediocre white man that your bestie is going to love them.

The rules for buying for women who have everything

Let’s start from the beginning (a very good place to start). Here are the principles that separate a gift she keeps from a gift that lives in the regifting drawer:

It has to say something

A point of view, a joke, a statement she agrees with, an opinion she's been thinking but hasn't worn on her chest yet. The gift should feel like it was chosen for her, not for a generic concept of "woman aged 30-50."

It can't be available everywhere 

If she could have picked it up herself in Boots, it's not a gift. The whole point of buying for someone who has everything is finding the thing she didn't know existed.

It should be usable, not displayable

No more ornamental things that sit on shelves. The best gifts for women who have everything are the ones that become part of their daily life; what they drink from, what they wear, what they carry.

Under £15: the gift that punches above its price

This is the "I saw this and immediately thought of you" bracket.

Small, affordable, and surprisingly impactful.

The socks 

The May You Have The Confidence Of A Mediocre White Man socks are our most gifted product in this price range. That slogan lands differently depending on who's reading it, and that's exactly the point. For the woman who has everything, the gift that makes her cackle is the one she remembers.

Other options in this bracket: the I Am F*cking Radiant socks for the friend who needs reminding, and the Ray Of Sunshine socks for the friend who already knows.

All under £15. All cushioned soles. All guaranteed to get a reaction.

The sticker pack

For the woman who lives on her laptop (which, let's be honest, is most of us) a feminist sticker pack at £12 is the kind of gift she'd never buy herself but immediately puts on everything she owns.

The bookmarks

A 3-pack of illustrated bookmarks for the reader in your life. 

Under £11, made in the UK and edgier than anything from Waterstones (if we do say so ourselves) plus, every time they pop it into their favourite book, they’ll think of you!

Under £20: the one that looks like you tried

The mug

The May You Have The Confidence Of A Mediocre White Man mug is the gift that starts conversations, whether it’s sitting on a desk at work or making an appearance at a coffee morning. It's a gift that keeps performing long after the wrapping paper's been recycled.

For something less sweary: the Cup Of Ambition mug; a Dolly reference that only the right people will get, which is exactly what makes it a good gift.

The notebooks 

A 3-pack of illustrated notebooks at under £20 is the sweet spot between thoughtful and affordable.

And yeah, okay, maybe she doesn't need another notebook…But she doesn't have one that looks like this, so it doesn’t count.

Under £30: the "proper present" bracket

This is the price point where a gift stops feeling like an add-on and starts feeling like the gift.

The tote bag. 

A printed tote bag made from recycled cotton, with a slogan she actually agrees with, that she'll carry to work and the shops and the gym. It replaces the bag she already has; it’s not an addition, it’s an upgrade!

The beanie hat. 

An embroidered beanie with a subtle slogan, useful for approximately nine months of the year in the UK (let’s be honest, probably more). The woman who has everything probably has a beanie, but she probably doesn't have one that contributes to the downfall of the patriarchy at the same time. 

The jigsaw puzzle. 

The Boobs Jigsaw Puzzle at £25 is the gift for the friend with a sense of humour and a free Sunday afternoon. It's unexpected, it's fun, and it's the kind of thing that ends up as a talking point at every dinner party for the next six months.

Under £50: the one that says "I really like you"

The slogan tee. 

A t-shirt with a message she believes in is a wearable gift that really says ‘I get you’

Our bestseller, the Not Fragile Like A Flower, Fragile Like A Bomb tee, has over 400 reviews for a reason: it says something women have been thinking for years, and they want to keep saying it.

Organic cotton, ethically made, sizes XS to 4XL. Under £30. Which means you can pair it with a pair of matching socks and still come in under £50.

The sweatshirt.

For the friend who loves to layer up on a cold evening, or just around the house, a slogan sweatshirt in the £38-42 bracket is the cosier version of the same gift.

Fleecy inside, attitude outside.

The nuclear option: the gift card

Okay, we get it, a gift card feels like admitting defeat; like you've given up on the concept of personal gifting and decided to outsource the decision entirely.

But here's the counter-argument: the woman who has everything is the woman with the most specific taste. She knows what she likes.

A Spark Company gift card from £10 lets her pick exactly what speaks to her, without the guesswork, without the returns, and without the drawer of good intentions.

Sometimes the best gift is permission to treat yourself.

The short version

She doesn't want another candle. She doesn't want bath salts. She doesn't want anything she could buy herself in a department store on a Tuesday.

She wants something that made you think of her specifically. Something with personality. Something she didn't know existed until she unwrapped it and thought: yes, this is absolutely me.

That's what we do. Have a look around.
