5 Gift Ideas for the Hard-to-Buy Person

We all have that person on our list. The one who already buys themselves whatever they want, doesn’t like clutter, and somehow always finds the perfect gifts for everyone else. How?

If you’ve ever found yourself wandering Target with a latte and zero ideas, this one’s for you. Here are five gift ideas that go beyond another candle or coffee mug.

1. Something That Grows

A gift that lasts longer than a week feels thoughtful, but one that grows or blooms? That’s next-level.
Potted herbs, a small houseplant, or even a spring flower subscription (👋 hi!) add beauty to their space.

2. An Experience Instead of “Stuff”

Gift cards for a local winery (Chankaska my favorite), a massage, or even a floral workshop. These are perfect for people who value memories over more “stuff.”

3. A Cozy Upgrade

Think soft throws, a favorite local coffee blend, or heated mittens (it’s Minnesota)!

4. A Touch of Local Love

There’s something extra special about gifts that were made (or grown) nearby; local honey, handmade soaps, or seasonal flowers from a local farm (👋, hi). Avoid the Amazon Prime trap.

5. Something That Lasts Beyond the Holidays

While the wrapping paper and pine needles eventually hit the trash, a gift that brings joy into the new year? Winner, winner!! Think of something that keeps on giving like a book subscription, a CSA share, or (your favorite) a flower bouquet subscription.

If you’ve got those hard-to-buy-for people on your list, flowers are an easy choice.
