We all know one. The person who has everything. The one whose idea of a surprise is unwrapping a slightly improved version of something they already own. Finding the perfect Christmas gift for the person who has everything isn’t about buying more stuff - it’s about giving something they’ve never done before. Something wonderfully odd, slightly unexpected, and unforgettable for all the right reasons.
That’s where quirky and unusual Christmas Gifts shine. Experiences that don’t fit in a box - but live in memory. Whether they’re adrenaline-fuelled, creatively charged, or just beautifully bonkers, these gifts are made to surprise, delight, and spark a story worth telling.
The Sip and Paint Experience: Art, Alcohol, and Accidental Masterpieces
The Sip and Paint Experience for Two is part art class, part cocktail hour, part comedy sketch in the making. It’s perfect for the person who’s done everything - except accidentally painting a Picasso while sipping Pinot. There’s no pressure, no prior talent required, just two hours of laughter, colour and creativity.

Afternoon Tea With a Twist: Japanese Tea at Sanctum Soho
Forget cucumber sandwiches and doilies. This is high tea reimagined. The Japanese Afternoon Tea at the Sanctum Soho Hotel throws tradition out the window and brings bold flavours and five-star flair to the fore. Set in a chic London hideaway adored by rock stars and romantics alike, it’s the ultimate alternative gift for those who think they’ve tasted it all.
Luxury With Latitude: A Super Yacht Stay in London
Still shopping for someone who thinks five stars are standard? Try floating five stars. The Executive Yacht Overnight Stay offers luxury so refined it practically winks at you. Think sleek interiors, a private balcony, exquisite three-course dining and a glass of bubbly - all aboard the UK’s only super yacht hotel. It’s indulgent, original, and frankly rather fabulous.
Adrenaline Overload: Helicopter Flight for Two
For the person who collects watches, not moments - give them altitude. The 55 Mile Helicopter Flight for Two offers a heart-racing tour from 1,000ft above sea level. Sweeping views, ear-to-ear grins, and the kind of thrill you just can’t gift-wrap. Even seasoned jet-setters won’t have seen the UK like this.
All Aboard the Nostalgia Express: Steam Train & Afternoon Tea
The Steam Train and Afternoon Tea is for the person who’s never met a gadget they didn’t own - but has forgotten what it means to slow down. Think classic locomotives, scenic routes, and a proper British tea served separately in charming locations. It’s old-fashioned joy with a side of jam and clotted cream.
The Oddball’s Paradise: Dog-Friendly Escapes
Some people won’t leave the house unless the dog can come too - and honestly, who can blame them? Our Dog Friendly Stays make it possible. With locations across the country, your giftee and their loyal companion can enjoy countryside strolls, seafront sniffs, and fireside naps in proper pet-welcoming style. If that’s not love, what is?
The Gift of Escape - Without a Passport
Still not convinced? The Two Night Getaway for Two is your fail-safe wildcard. Whether it’s rural peace or a buzzing city break, it’s an escape on their terms. This isn’t a voucher - it’s an open-ended invitation to disappear for 48 hours with someone they like and no expectations. Because even the most well-stocked individuals could use a break from themselves.
Still Stuck? Try the “Split Gifting” Trick
When all else fails, tailor it. Our hand-picked Gifts for Him and Gifts for Her offer solo surprises, while our full range of Gifts for Couples lets you match experiences to their relationship dynamic - whether they’re soulmates or just very well-organised flatmates.
The Bottom Line
The most meaningful Christmas gift for the person who has everything isn’t another possession. It’s a new memory. A thrill, a laugh, a moment they didn’t see coming. Quirky and unusual experiences speak louder than any luxury watch ever could - and they won’t need dusting.
