4 Killer Ideas on What to get the Person that Has Everything

It's true, finding gifts online for people that have everything is a real head scratcher. I know this people often ask me the same thing, 'Carl you've got everything what on earth can I get you for Christmas?' To which I always reply,  a £50 gift voucher for Dunelms makes a perfect stocking filler. I'll then usually send them an affiliate link so I can wet my beak further.

But there are other wonderful gifts out there. Unusual gifts. Gift that show off both your thoughtful side, and the fact that you're annual take home is somewhere between £500,00 and £750,00 after tax.

Claridge's Wine Tasting 

Dedicated to the art of viniculture, Claridge’s Wine Cellar is an exquisite expression of craft. Step inside to sample an eclectic collection of rare vintages, select a bottle to enjoy in your suite, or take home the perfect dinner party pairing.

The experience I had with Retail Manager Radharani was so memorable. Afterwards they give you some glasses to go upstairs with and experience the bar area. Later I met Matt Smith in the gents toilets. But it wasn't the place to ask for a selfie. Someone else did though to which Matt said 'no problem just let me do up my flies first.'

This beautifully created space is designed to stoke curiosity, and showcase an extraordinary variety of more than 1000 wines and champagnes. Each has been selected by our experts sommeliers, with a one of-a-kind spirit collection courtesy of Head of Claridge’s Bars, Denis Broci. Roughly £170 a ticket, book online.

Dukes Afternoon Marteani & Tea 

DUKES LONDON has put together an exceptional combination of two British traditions for a truly inspired homage to British culture. This experience includes a three beautifully-paired mini gin martinis served alongside each of our Afternoon Tea courses.

We had a great time here. And then afterwards we went into the main bar for some more cocktails. Although famously you're only allowed a maximum of two Martini's due to the drinks potency. And rightly so. Ticket for two people £104, book here.

Ritz Traditional Afternoon Tea

Now admittedly I've not been on this one yet, but it looks terrific. There is quite the waiting list so you might want to get in early if you're looking to book before Christmas.

Enjoy finely cut sandwiches together with freshly baked scones served with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry preserve, followed by a delectable selection of afternoon teacakes and pastries, which will be replenished on request whilst dining. There are also 18 different types of loose-leaf tea to choose from. Ticket £72 for adults (does not specify if this is for one or two).
