If you can accomplish these tasks, you can impress even the fussiest of friends. If you’re still struggling for inspiration, check out these sure-to-impress Christmas gift ideas:

1. Gourmet Christmas Hampers

A gourmet Christmas hamper is the perfect gift because it is filled with all the things that signify good food, good drink, and good people. Because many of the products in a hamper are perishable, this gift is usually delivered right in time for the holiday. If you’re looking to really impress someone, you can deliver it yourself, which allows you to also spend some time with the receiver. The picky people on your list will surely be impressed by this gesture of love and goodwill.

2. A Sound Machine

Perhaps that fussy friend is fussy because they don’t get enough sleep. No one should underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep, which is why a quality sound machine makes a great gift this holiday season. Look for a sound machine with high-end features like multiple sound settings and sleep pattern tracking to wake them up at just the right time.

3. Himalayan Salt Lamp

If your picky friend doesn’t immediately love the look and effectiveness of a Himalayan salt lamp, there’s really little you can do. These lamps give off a soft, warm glow that’s conducive to relaxation and good health. The nice thing about this gift idea is that it’s relatively inexpensive, completely functional, and absolutely exquisite.

4. A Magnetic Hourglass

For your uptight friend, a magnetic hourglass may just be the calming influence the doctor ordered. As each magnetic piece falls to join the others that have fallen before it, the stacking action invokes feelings of calm and relaxation in all who watch it. This gift is perfect for both the home and office. However, we must warn you – once you see it in action, you’ll want one for yourself too.

5. The GoPro

For the picky, yet deserving, on your list, the current model of the GoPro will turn that fussy friend into an appreciative one fast. Whether recording images on the go or in the backyard, your friend will be amazed at their quality and crispness, and you’ll be amazed at just how un-difficult this friend will be in the future.

6. Candy

Who doesn’t have at least one friend with a sweet tooth? When all else fails, candy never does. These days, you can get just about every kind of popular candy in super-size bags, so go for broke when trying to impress a picky friend by giving a huge bag of their favorite candy.

If you aren’t sure what kind of candy will do the trick, ask those close to your friend for a hint on their favorite brands. From the moment your friend puts that first piece in their mouth to the last piece many weeks later, they’ll think of you time and time again.

We all have that one picky friend that’s hard to buy gifts for, but there’s no need to struggle this holiday season. Any one of the gifts listed above would be a perfect gift for a fussy friend.
