They are my Aunt and Uncle. I find it so hard to think of good gifts for them because they can buy anything they want. Plus, they are a bit picky and hard to please. PLEASE HELP ME! Any gift ideas will do.

Hi there, well if they are your aunt and uncle, I wouldn't worry too much. I have this problem with my parents lol. With my aunt and uncle I would get them a nice card from Hallmark then a gift card from one of their favorite stores. This way they can use whatever amount you can afford towards a purchase they would like to get later on. Gift cards are always welcome! =)

Bake a plate full of cookies wrapped up nice with a huge bow.
Find out their favorite charity and make a donation.
Do they collect anything- like Fenton glass for instance- maybe give them a catalog with a gift card to that company so they can pick and choose.
People that are hard to please will probably not like what you buy for them even if you know them well. It is so hard to get the right thing for some people and once you accept that then ginving a gift card or just a " Merry Christmas " is an acceptable gift in itself.

I like the idea of a charitable organization, but I'm going to go ahead and recommend a specific one that is a fun gift, in case you want to take a look. The African Wildlife Foundation offers to let you adopt an animal in someone's name. The recipent gets a certificate of adoption, a story about the specific animal, and a toy version of the animal. It's worth a look. Hope this helps!

If they have EVERYTHING, they need NOTHING, right? If they're picky and hard to please, you can't win, can you? Give them a gift on your OWN terms that does not indulge their need to get more stuff they don't want or need - Donate to a charity they can't object to (although they are obviously their own favorite charity!). All philanthropical organizations will give you a very nice donation certificate. "This is to certify that $50 has been donated on behalf of Mr and Mrs Have-Too-Much-Already" - they'll HATE it, of course, because it isn't about THEM, but you will look good, you will have done a good deed, and they WON'T be able to say anything bad to you about it or they'll look greedy and mean. If they are already greedy and mean (sounds Like) then consider cutting them off your Christmas list - Who needs 'em?

Could i suggest (for the person who has everything), something personal from you? The fact that you want to buy them something that they will appreciate is great! I am sure they feel the same about you so..... whay about a large photo of you? Framed? Front page in a photo album? Maybe good old flowers? Or how about you invite them out for a meal... sounds like they would appreciate spending time with you.
Merry Christmas to you!

My in laws are the same way, i bought her a subscription to national geographic...find a magazine your uncle that he likes, for my mother in law I bought her a coffee decanter because we have christmas morning at her house. Try making your uncle some fudge and putting it in a nice tin. Or maybe your aunt might like a nice large coffee table book. Good luck

You could give them my christmas list...
Toyota 4x4 with extended cab, dark blue would be nice, but any color would do...
lol
J/K maybe...
Sounds like my Aunt and Uncle, but they hate me or think I am different, than I actually am...
I just have no worries, havn't called either one of em in over ten years.
Just get them a card, and give Auntie a gift card to the SPA, maybe...
and Uncle a break from Auntie...
DJ
you could still give em my christmas list...
:)

What about something they couldn't possibly buy? A home-made cake? A framed photograph of a favourite pet/relative/location? Just a thought.

You can give them a gift Certificate to a restaurant that they like to go to to eat.
