Gift ideas for someone who already has everything

Sponsored collaboration with SLURP

I love giving and receiving gifts. But I’ll admit it gets difficult once you’ve already gone through the basic things: chocolate, pajamas, candles, socks or nail polish. I want to give gifts that are thoughtful and useful. I want the gift to put a smile on the person’s face. Perhaps even get the person to know to some awesome thing or product that I think she or he would love.

Since it’s already Fall and the season of giving (did I hear some jingle bells?), I wanted to give you some ideas to gifts. Especially when you feel like the person already has everything.

Gift ideas for someone who already has everything

  •  Time

Non-material gifts are awesome. My idea: make a gift card to go to a walk, a movie or something else together. The most important thing everyone needs is time spent together. Simple as that.

  • Something hand-made such as a painting, a candle etc.

I’ve surprised myself lately by actually enjoying crafting. I love making candles and just recently I started to paint. I think giving something hand-made always has that little special effect in it, since you’ve put your time and effort (and love) into the gift.

  •  Food

Okay, I know I said chocolate is a ‘basic thing’, but I’ll never get angry at a box of chocolates. Or, you know, something healthier. Everyone needs food and I think food is a great gift. Maybe make a basket of some delicious thing and put a bow on it? Okay, maybe that’s a pretty basic idea. But perhaps you stumbled here in a full gift-giving panic and hadn’t thought of that. In that case: you’re welcome! Ha.

  •  Coffee

Ah, coffee. Now there’s an awesome gift. And giving delicious sustainable coffee as a gift has never been easier. You know I’m a huge fan of Slurp coffee subscription, but did you know you can also give Slurp as a gift? Here is the ultimate gift for someone who has everything.

Slurp coffee as a gift

Slurp coffee subscription is a great gift idea, because you’re not only giving coffee as a gift, but you’ll be gifting an experience. Coffee experience. The person gets the coffee fresh, delivered to his or her doorstep. Gets to try some new artisan coffees.

And: the gift doesn’t go to waste. It can literally be enjoyed, one cup at a time. The prices for gift cards start from 25,76€.

And yes – I do have a discount for you. Code ‘CharlottaLahja’ gives you -10% off on the ongoing coffee subscription and gift cards. So now is a great time to shop for a gift – or pamper yourself with a coffee subscription. Order your SLURP subscription or shop gift cards here. The code is valid until 10.11.19.

And in case this is the first time you hear about Slurp, I recommend reading my first post with them.

Letter to my 25-year-old self

Letter to my 25 year-old self

I turned 25 and I feel like I should write something wise here. Keep a big speech. I mean, write a blog post. God knows I give no speeches, unfortunately. It’s better for both the crowd and my mental health (and my pride).

But I’m just not sure what to say.

To be honest, I feel like big things are happening around me. To other people. My sisters are moving to different cities, starting new jobs and studies. My friend starts new studies. My other friend is making big changes with her work. I feel like everyone else is ‘making it’.

And I’m just here. At the same spot.

I wish I had something big to tell you, or have some big revelation. I guess I also wish that, because 25 feels like an age, where you are supposed to, well, I’m not sure what. But no, I’m still a work in progress. I’m still changing and finding my way. I do know myself and I’m getting more confident as time goes by. But I just can’t stand here and declare to the world that I feel absolutely fantastic, 100% confident in everything I do at the fantastic age of 25.

I’m scared, to be honest. I know now how quickly years pass and I want to make the most out of them. At the very least, I should have a clear path in front of me, right?

And it’s stupid. These thoughts are stupid. It’s just a number. It’s just another day and another month. I’m here and I’m breathing, aren’t I?

I get up in the morning. I have good and bad days. Some days everything I touch turns to gold and I see everything clearly. But sometimes I feel so lost even a run in the dark doesn’t cure it. I try and push myself out of my comfort zone, even though it feels so very difficult at times.

I have people around me and I laugh, cry, eat, exercise, walk and talk with them. I watch movies and cry at both sad and happy endings. I dream about Maldives. I dream about a new office. I love sitting in the car and watching buildings pass by. I make new personal records with my muscles – and sometimes with my brain. And I do, still, feel like a princess on my birthday.

Nothing big is happening right now, but I guess it’s good. The details are still there. The little things, that are actually big things.

I’m healthy and my family is healthy. My friends are doing good. My life feels meaningful in all its simplicity.

At the core of my being, I’m very happy. And at the moments of stress, anxiety and sadness, I’m reminded that I’m very much alive.

But since I know I wanted to hear it:

Keep on going. You’re fulfilling your dream and you’re working hard, I know. Go on, don’t stop. It might feel like a dream now, but soon it’s so real you’re gonna regret not enjoying the journey. Believe in yourself. And always say yes to a good cup of coffee.

Oh, and finally: you’re not in a hurry.  Happy, happy birthday.
