A gift for someone who has everything – 7 ideas for 2026

Every year the same problem. Mum already has cosmetics and books she will not read. Dad has all the tools he needed. Your partner once said they "do not need anything in particular". And you are left with the question: what do you buy for someone who has everything?

The answer is simple and boring at the same time: buy them an experience, not an object. But "experience" is a very broad world – from a SPA weekend to a fighter-jet ride. We collected 7 ideas that actually work, plus tips on how to avoid the "I bought a voucher that was never used" trap.

1. A rage-room voucher

We start with our own offer, but honestly – it works. A Smash&Fun voucher is something people rarely buy themselves, but when they receive it as a gift they almost always happily use it. It is unusual enough to be remembered, and light enough not to require a "special occasion".

Pros:

• 12-month validity,
• choose a specific package or amount,
• delivered to email within minutes,
• works for both men and women – a group of friends or a couple.

Ideal for people in stressful jobs, couples looking for an unusual date, hen and stag parties.

2. A scenic flight or hot-air balloon voucher

A scenic flight in a small plane over Warsaw or a sunrise/sunset balloon ride. An extreme memento. Higher price tier, but the effect is usually worth it.

Tip: balloons depend on weather, so a voucher with several possible dates gives the recipient more flexibility.

3. A SPA session with a specific treatment

Most SPA salons sell vouchers. It is important to pick a specific treatment (90-minute massage, full SPA day) rather than "any amount" – otherwise the recipient feels they got just a fragment of something.

Pros: almost always happily used. Cons: less surprising for people who go to SPAs already.

4. Dinner at a renowned chef's restaurant

Vouchers to flagship Warsaw restaurants – Atelier Amaro, Nolita, Senses. Higher budget, but leaves great memories. Best for couples who enjoy fine dining.

Tip: check whether the restaurant requires advance reservations – if so, warn the recipient.

5. A workshop or course matching their hobby

If you know someone is into photography, cooking, ceramics, painting, climbing – buy them a course or workshop. This is one of the most successful gifts for "someone who has everything", because it shows you remember what they enjoy.

Pros: it is personal. Cons: if you misjudge the topic, the gift goes in the bin.

6. Jeep / off-road / shooting experience

Vouchers like "a day in a jeep", "shooting course at a range", "driving a sports car on a track" – work great for men (and some women) who like adrenaline. The exact pick depends on the person: jeep freedom is different from precision shooting.

7. A well-chosen subscription

A yearly subscription to coffee from selected roasters, audiobooks, an industry magazine, a wine club. Low cost but it is a regular reminder – every month the recipient gets something with you in mind.

How to pick a good gift voucher

Three most common mistakes:

1. An amount voucher instead of a specific offer. "PLN 200 to spend at X" feels lazy. A specific offer ("voucher for a 90-minute rage-room session for 4 people") shows you thought about it.
2. Short validity. Check the voucher is valid for at least 6 months. Shorter equals pressure.
3. No online booking. If using the voucher requires phoning during business hours, most people will not do it. A voucher with online booking (like ours) has a much higher chance of being used.

Practical seasonal tips

• Valentine's Day – vouchers for two (rage room, dinner, SPA).
• St Nicholas Day – smaller gestures: coffee voucher, short massage, an hour of PIECE OF CAKE rage room.
• Birthdays – more substantial gifts: longer sessions, tasting evenings, SPA weekends.
• Christmas – universal, longer validity, ideally with personalisation (a photo, a short note).

How much to spend?

Always a tricky question, but a good rule of thumb: the amount should be proportional to how close the person is. PLN 50 for an uncle at Christmas is fine; the same voucher for a daughter's 18th birthday is not. Reasonable amounts in 2026:

• A coworker: PLN 50–100.
• Close friend: PLN 150–300.
• Parent or child: PLN 300–600.
• Partner on an anniversary: PLN 400–1000.

Summary

A gift for "someone who has everything" is by definition not an object – it is an experience they would not plan for themselves. Smash&Fun vouchers work great in this category: they are unusual, easy to use, valid for 12 months and suit very different recipients.

Vouchers can be bought online – we deliver them to your email immediately after payment, with a personalised card and dedication.
