Ever shopped for the person who has everything? We bet they don’t have these clever gifts — and we bet you’ll want them, too.
For your discerning girlfriends
1. Motivational pillow. This pillow speaks the truth. (All Modern, $32)
2. Male tears mug. We can drink to that! (Zazzle, $15)

4. Sriracha cookbook. The jury is in, and everyone loves sriracha — especially your hipster girlfriends. (Amazon, $11)
5. Illusion wine rack. Because girls deserve funky-awesome wine racks, too. (Bonanza, $42)
6. A wise hoodie. We love a hoodie that makes a good point, like this punchy version. (Redbubble, $49)
For the man who is impossible to shop for
7. F-bomb paperweight. Maybe this paperweight will send the message that he has the mouth of a dirty sailor. (ThisIsWhyImBroke, $45)
