Gifts for someone who already has everything – original ideas that surprise

Honestly? There’s hardly anything more frustrating than giving a gift to someone who just smiles tiredly when unwrapping the third set of grill spices that ends up in the cupboard. Whether it’s a birthday, Christmas, or another occasion, and when asked what they want, the person to be gifted says, "I don’t need anything, I already have everything." That sounds nice at first, but it doesn’t make it any easier for you. Sure, standard gifts like vouchers, chocolate, or a bottle of wine always work, but they often seem uninspired and not very creative.

Don’t worry, that’s exactly why you’ll find gifts at "Die Stadtgärtner" for your family, friends, or neighbors that are not only extraordinary but guaranteed to make them smile from ear to ear. Our customers are always super happy with our products and love giving them as gifts:

Felix:

I bought it as a surprise for my grandpa for the Advent season. The calendar arrived quickly and looks very nice 🥰

Marie:

I gave it to my grandma, who likes plants. She was very happy and regularly reports on the progress.

Julia:

Very cute packaging, fast shipping, the flower marbles look great, and I’m really looking forward to giving them as Easter gifts :-) My daughter and grandma will each get some and will definitely look for the best spots for them in the garden. A great idea, thank you!

 

Lotte:

Beautiful gift idea and lovely design. My grandma was very happy!

 

What do you give friends who are already perfectly happy with what they have?

My girlfriend is exactly that kind of person; when I ask her, she always says, "I don't need anything." She is most happy about things she didn't expect, like our Wish Fulfiller or a sweet greeting card with many kind words. What counts is the gesture and showing that you put thought into what the recipient might like.

Gifts for men who already have everything

Whether partner, husband, grandpa, father, or good friend, gifts for men who already have everything are often a real challenge. And let's be honest: classics like technology, a tie, or socks aren't exactly thrilling. When looking for a suitable gift for a man, originality is key. Because with a little creativity, you can surprise even dad, who isn't expecting a gift. Here are a few gift ideas that are sure to be well received, especially if your dad or grandpa enjoys spending time in the garden.

1. Rolling Raised Bed made from Onion Sieves
   This rolling raised bed made from vintage onion sieves is a special gift in vintage style. It is not only sturdy and practical but also full of history. In the past, onion sieves were used to store fruits and vegetables. We cleaned them and converted them into unique rolling raised beds. Each raised bed is one of a kind and therefore something very special.

2. Chili Seed Set
   A chili seed set is the ideal gift idea for men who almost have everything, except maybe the hottest harvest of their lives. Okay, that was a bad pun. :-) Six different varieties, from mild to extremely fiery, provide variety in the garden or on the balcony. A set that is guaranteed to bring spice to any home.

Gifts for Women Who Have Everything

Finding gifts for women who have no wishes is often not so easy. For mom, grandma, a partner, or a good friend, jewelry, perfume, or bouquets are the usual classic gifts—they are almost normal and somewhat boring. All the more beautiful are gift ideas that surprise, are personal, and truly bring joy. With a little creativity, the perfect present can be found even for seemingly wishless happy women.

1. Vegetable Garden Seed Set
   Our vegetable garden seed set in organic quality is a great gift for women who seemingly need nothing more. Ten colorful vegetable varieties like zucchini, bell peppers, or beetroot invite sowing, caring, and harvesting, bringing small moments of joy from the garden bed to the plate. Sustainably packaged, easy to use, and full of life, a gift the recipient will enjoy for a long time.

Claudia (21.12.2023)

Really a totally cute idea that was well received!!! Thanks. :)

Gabi (25.08.2021)

Great quality! Super packaging! I give it as a gift for many different occasions and everyone is always very happy, last time at a children’s birthday party, where both young and old were equally delighted!

Manu (17.08.2021)

In times like these, when the WORLD really urgently needs a bit more (green) INSPIRATION, and (not just because of Corona and the flood disaster) many of us could use a little bit of "magic" (hope), the idea to pack "Wish Fulfillers" in the form of dandelions in a jar—that’s something! THANK YOU for this little RAY OF LIGHT in these currently, for many of us, quite "dark times." And it’s really nice to see that there are still companies for whom more than just pure profit is important. Please stay that way. Wishing you and all your loved ones to get through the Corona time well. And above all: stay healthy.

Heike Müller (22.08.2018)

I ordered two sets at the end of July and gave one away, which was very well received. The packaging is very nice and so is the variety of *bombs*. This year, I haven’t dared to just throw seed bombs into the landscape because of the dryness. But something is already growing in the flower box; whether the plants will grow big, I don’t know, it’s already late in the year. And seed bombs have also sprouted in my friend’s garden. Next spring, we’ll really get started.

Aline (24.04.2021)

A very nice and personal gesture! Shipping was super fast, I’m happy :)

Sabine (18.11.2022)

The person I gifted it to was very happy about the heartfelt good luck charm.

Wolf (09.02.2021)

The Wish Fulfiller was very well received. Unfortunately, I see they have been sold out for a while. Is there hope for a new edition? It would be a shame if not.

Anja (21.12.2020)

I ordered the Wish Fulfillers and they are great for making someone happy... Super friendly team! I can only recommend them.

Ella (14.12.2020)

Dandelions simply feel magical. I have gifted your "Wish Fulfillers" for various occasions and it was always something special. Whether for birthdays, farewells, as a nice guest gift, or for Christmas. It always brought a sparkle to the recipient’s eyes. It’s just simply beautiful.

Rebecca (14.05.2018)

The card is very beautifully designed and also very high quality. From now on, I will only buy these cards; they are an absolute eye-catcher and the flower seeds perfectly complete them.
