HAS IT ALL What do you get someone who already has everything? When they already own it all, give an upgrade, a consumable, an experience or a memory. LAST MINUTE What are good last-minute gifts that don't look last-minute? Gifts that arrive fast and still look planned: the trick is presentation and a personal note.
