There are some people that are – thankfully – seriously easy to buy for. But, what about the notoriously difficult-to-buy-for giftee on your list? We’ve all got one and, dads and brothers aside, it’s usually the friend that treats herself to whatever she wants, when she wants it, and really does have pretty much everything.
So how on earth are you meant to find a gift sure to cherish when there isn’t anything that she truly needs?
Luckily, I know one of these ‘I have everything I need gals’ and I’ve managed to to round up some of the things that she (and every other friend who has it all) will still appreciate...
