Gifts for People Who Are Impossible to Buy For (Even the Grumpy Ones)
You must have landed here because you, too, have someone in your life who is literally impossible to buy for, right? Some don't have any hobbies, some are just plain old grumpy, some have ridiculously expensive tastes, and some are just NPCs, right?
Lucky for you, I've got some gift ideas! You might leave here realising that buying for the seemingly impossible isn't actually an impossible task after all. There are things out there for even the most difficult people. Or you might decide that sometimes you just have to adopt a fuck it and find out attitude and see whether your gift lands you in deep waters or earns you the title of gift-giver of the day!
For The Alternative Soul
We stock several different designs and products from the amazing artists Lisa Parker and Anne Stokes. If I had to pick a favourite right now, it would be this beautiful Solace purse by Anne Stokes, or the Goonies T-shirt. What an absolute cult classic! Right up there with Back to the Future. Unfortunately, we don't stock those just yet!
So, why do I like them? Well, I'm a bugger for anything that's not "normal" or "mainstream". Having always lived within a subculture or in my own little world, it makes sense that I'm drawn to the fantasy world, too. A world where beautiful unicorns exist, witches fly around on broomsticks, and good old Merlin is shouting "Higitus Figitus" (IYKYK 😂) as he shrinks his belongings into a carpet bag.
Because let's face it, with the world being the current shitshow it is, living in a fantasy world beats this reality!
And then there's The Goonies. An absolute movie classic, loved by several generations. Even the kids born post-Brexit can't get enough of it, adopting the phrase "Hey, you guys!" and doing the Truffle Shuffle at random intervals when Mother is shouting them for their tea.
And at the end of the day, who wants fucking generic? The alternative soul will love these gifts because they are most definitely NOT GENERIC!
For The Self-Care Lover
Even the weirdest of us practise some form of self-love. Whether that's lighting your favourite candle or incense and enjoying the aroma, or running yourself a hot, dreamy bath and adding a few drops of lavender essential oil, we all have our own ways of unwinding.
The self-care lover doesn't necessarily have to be a high-maintenance princess. Not everything has to be on a grand scale! Sometimes, it's those thoughtful little gifts that help you find a win-win situation, where they don't turn their nose up at what you've gifted them.
For this little section, I've chosen to show you this stunning Dark Forest Series Oil Burner, available in three different designs: Forest Blue, Luna Moth and Dark Forest. It's suitable for use with simmering incense beads, oils and wax melts, according to the relevant product instructions.
You'll also find that we stock amazing aromatherapy oils from Amour Naturals, as well as wax melts.
Why do I like this one? It's simple. I love anything black to go with my little black heart, and I'm a sucker for mushrooms because they're such fun guys!
I also want to show you this proper gorgeous-smelling Aromatherapy Hand & Body Wash from Ancient Wisdom, with the heady scents of tangerine, ylang-ylang and patchouli.
And just to squeeze in a little plug, hand & body lotion and other fragrances are available!
The Witchy One
my days! What you may not know about me (well, you will in a sec) is that I'm a proper crystal addict.
It's one of my two hyperfocuses. Wait, three! But the only one that's a product is crystals.
I'm obsessed, and I want to make you obsessed, too, as you choose what to buy for your witchy or wannabe-witchy friend or family member.
Yooo, tell me what crystal ya want, what ya really, really want!!!!
This is where I start to hyperventilate because I can only show you one, and I struggle with favourites! So, I'm going to show you the Black Fluorite Tower. Excuse me while I drool.
Black fluorite is slightly translucent, and if you place it on a light box, you can see it light up. Not all of it lets the light through, but you can see a mix of jade green and purples, making it look almost like rainbow fluorite.
It's also UV-reactive, so shine a UV light on it and watch the magic happen! The crystal turns blue, while the UV-reactive parts glow red. It's like the tower has a secret side that only comes out under UV light. It really is the epitome of hidden depths that are truly stunning.
My second choice for this section is a witchy notebook. But not just any old witchy notebook. This one has to have some attitude!
As you can see, it's a witch flying on a broomstick with the caption "I don't give a flying fuck."
I mean, do I EVEN need to explain why at this point?
And Finally, for The Sweary One
Two easy picks from me, mainly because I have a heart like an angel, a mouth like a sailor, and I'm sick of other people's shit!
First up is the Don't Fuck With My Energy T-shirt. And as a little plug, I have mugs available, too!
Available in sizes S–XXL, it's a black tee made from good-quality material, and the message is pretty fucking simple.
It's for those who just want the toxic, moany bastards to fuck off.
There are a fair few sweary mugs available, too, but I'm choosing to showcase the Do I Look Like A Fucking People Person? Pink Mirror Mug.
It should act as a warning to those trying to approach people who've had quite enough of everyone else's shit. Read the message, mate, and jog on!
The audacity of those types, eh?
Still Can't Find the Perfect Gift?
If none of these sound like your person, congratulations! You've found a whole new level of difficult!
Have a browse through our shop and see what catches your eye. Whether you're shopping for the alternative soul, the self-care lover, the witchy one or the sweary one, there's no need to settle for boring, generic gifts.
And if you've got a friend who's currently losing their mind trying to find a present for someone impossible to buy for, send them this guide. You might just save their sanity.
You're welcome. 😂
