What to Give Someone Who Has Everything

What brings joy when all material goals have been achieved? Millionaires sometimes say that if you find joy in simple and inexpensive things, you’re lucky. The more one is saturated, the harder it is to find pleasure, including from gifts.

This is the challenge of choosing a gift for someone who has everything: to surprise and delight, it requires more than the material—sincerity, experiences, things that touch the soul.

At the Presentica exhibition, taking place from September 19 to 21 at Gostiny Dvor, you can find just that (and more!).

For example, did you know how many people are fascinated not just by antiques but by antiquities: stones, fossils, meteorites?

Ammonites, saber-toothed cat skulls—such specimens will be presented by Paleo Hunters at Presentica.

Antiques, too, are more about emotion than utility. Porcelain figurines like the ones in grandma’s cupboard, the Madonna service brought back by a great-grandfather from Berlin, or a pennant from a regional youth club—the antique shop “Once Upon a Time” will showcase these and much more that tugs at the heart. It’s frankly impossible to predict exactly what they’ll bring to Presentica, as all their items are unique, and the assortment changes almost daily.

Or an edition that would surprise even Vladimir Putin. A truly wonderful gift—a book like the President’s.

The Great Heritage project will present items related to the culture and history of our country.

It’s nice when there’s something to choose from, and at Presentica, that will be true in almost every category. Another option in luxurious editions will be presented by Elite Book: family chronicles, photo albums, historical books—also very fitting gifts.

A gift doesn’t have to be expensive. The main thing is that it’s liked and visible—something like an anti-stress spinner, perhaps in titanium or bronze.

A pen is a cliché business gift, but it’s something always needed, and its quality is important. Or, you could surprise with a hand-painted computer mouse. The Russian Trading House “Golden Bear” will bring many amazing VIP gifts, from commemorative books to lighters and gifts with Russian symbols.

If you guess their hobby, you won’t go unnoticed: coins commemorating important national events, replica postage stamps, medals, and orders will be presented by the Volga-Vyatka Mint, the first private mint in Russia.

Jewelry firm Dalius can create a personalized badge or VIP-quality order according to your design.

Another participant in PRESENTICA 2024 is Studio 3D-Art Steklov, which claims: “For those who have everything—we create what no one else has.” They craft awards and statuettes from wood, acrylic, polymer resin, and metal, resulting in stunning mementos.

Sometimes, important individuals, those who have everything, need to mark not just success and achievements but also the journey itself. Wooden maps—of Russia, the world, or the Moscow region—help achieve this. Mark where the company’s branches are located, which countries have established supplies, or simply where the recipient has traveled.

Another category of gifts that even those who have everything would not possess—art pieces. Some might already have items in their collection, and a new addition will fit right in. But author paintings and sculptures are truly unique.

One of our favorite exhibitors, Alla Chud, paints beautiful cosmic paintings. Have you ever recorded music at a live concert on your phone?

Here, it’s similar: photos flatten these works of art. Come and experience the energy of the paintings in person.

The last Presentica saw Alla sell all her paintings, so don’t delay. Choose the early days of the exhibition for a visit. 

Bogdan Savchenko, head of the monumental and easel sculpture section of the Eurasian Art Union and a member of the DPI Artists’ Creative Union, will also present his sculptures. Intriguing titles like “Eager Desire” and “Never Give Up” add charm to his works.

Artist Ksenia Eliseeva will bring her paintings. She says about her work: “There’s only a moment to feel the depth of inspiration and the moment when you can touch the texture of this energy.”

Carved coats of arms, paintings, hunting scenes, icons, backgammon, and chess will be brought by Rezyba 36.

A classic gift that’s well-received everywhere—alcohol. Aged whiskey, Japanese gin, and Crimean aged wines will be available at the Kaluga Liquor and Vodka Factory CRYSTAL booth.

Of course, when choosing a gift for the dearest people, the most important thing is not the price. It’s important to know their interests, be aware of hobbies, and observe particularities. If you’ve scanned all this and have an idea of where to look—come to Presentica from September 19 to 21 at Gostiny Dvor. You won’t find a greater selection of VIP gifts at any other venue. And if you’re still undecided—come anyway, the best idea will strike you here and find its expression with us.
