The Best Christmas Gifts for People Who ‘Don’t Want Anything’

The Best Christmas Gifts for People Who ‘Don’t Want Anything’

Every family has one — the person who says they don’t want anything for Christmas. They’re tricky to shop for because they genuinely don’t want clutter or another random present that won’t get used. But that doesn’t mean you should skip them on your gift list. The secret is finding something practical, thoughtful, and stylish that they’ll actually use without feeling like you’ve overdone it.

That’s exactly why a sand free beach towel makes the perfect present. It’s useful, compact, and designed to make summer better. And unlike novelty mugs, generic gift sets, or trinkets, it won’t sit in the cupboard gathering dust.

Here’s why our travel towel – and a few other practical picks – are the best Christmas gifts for people who say they don’t want anything.

Why Practical Gifts Always Win

When someone insists they don’t want anything, what they usually mean is they don’t want clutter or unnecessary stuff. That’s why practical, everyday-use items are the best choice. The gift should feel thoughtful but not over the top, useful but not boring.

A high-quality microfibre towel fits that description perfectly. It’s something they’ll reach for again and again without it feeling like an indulgence they didn’t need.

Other Great Gift Ideas for People Who ‘Don’t Want Anything’

If you want to round out your options, here are a few other simple but thoughtful ideas:

1. Reusable Drink Bottle

Everyone needs hydration, and a stainless steel insulated bottle feels premium while being useful every day.

2. Quality Skincare

Think simple, practical products like natural sunscreen or moisturiser. Something they’ll use but wouldn’t necessarily splurge on themselves.

3. A Great Book

A good novel or non-fiction pick tailored to their interests makes a thoughtful but low-clutter gift.

4. Subscription Services

Instead of a physical gift, a streaming, audiobook, or meditation app subscription adds value without taking up space.

5. Travel Essentials

Compact items like a travel organiser, packing cubes, or – the best of all – a travel towel are perfect for those who love to explore but don’t want more “stuff.”

Why a Towel Stands Out as the Best Choice

Of all the practical options, a beach towel stands out because it’s universally useful. Everyone needs one, especially during an Australian summer. Whether they’re spending Christmas at the beach, lounging by the pool, or heading off on holiday, they’ll use it straight away.

Unlike socks, candles, or food hampers, a sand free beach towel feels personal and premium, yet it’s still something they’ll actually need.
