Garden Gnome. Yes you can get one in SL. Garden not necessary to enjoy it.

Unique. Funny. Conversation Starter. Multiple Uses. And, 99.99% Guaranteed they don't already have one.

I need some creative inspiration here... What do you get for the avatar who has everything (and if he doesn't, will buy it)? This avatar is currently SL homeless, so stuff for the household is out, which makes it more difficult.

I'm thinking maybe some brilliant but lesser-known gadget, but I don't know any brilliant but lesser known gadgets. I just know the Mysti Tool, and he's got one of those.

What would (or did) you do for your hard-to-buy-for SL friends?

How can he have everything but yet be homeless? Then he doesn't have everything. Doesn't make sense.

Get him a home.

If you're going the clothes route, how about some PrimOptic glasses? You can move them from your eyes to up on your head with a click, and they're controlled by menu for frame/lens tint. So cool ...

Or how about an exotic avatar? I'm not a furry, but I have a furry avatar that sort of feels like my totem animal. And who doesn't want to be a rideable dragon every once in a while? You could go shopping for it together --- wyrms, grendels, furnation ---

Oh yes, Nika has a good point about the glasses - there are also totally neat biker goggles from the wonderfully named Skanks-R-Us, which flip up and down off the forehead with a nice swipe of the hand. Adjustably shiny, colors, tint, cool fit, very neat.

Have you looked at the pets from Zooby's lately? Besides the wearable hummingbird who hovers round your head, they have pretty yellow and chocolate labs who follow you about, lie down, and do other pleasant doggy things... other breeds too.

Thanks for the referral, I been looking for a dog!

In my opinion the Apartment is the coolest idea so far...of course given that it's a feasible and sustainable gift for you, at least for a while. A "starter home" should be more than welcome, even if it's only paid up for 2 weeks or so! ESPECIALLY furnished. (Then again, furnishing is 1/2 the fun)

I too say avoid the TOS violation. Even if you don't mind what if they befome your "enemy" and decided to leave SL, but turn you in? Aggravation waiting to happen, and possible banning.

Arrange for me to take some nice photos of their avatar, of course

I like this idea the best... avatars are fun, portable, and unique.

Sometimes as a gift I make personalized t-shirts with my friend's photo or something that would be funny or meaningful to them. That way it's sure to be a one-of-a-kind gift.

Not helpful however for those guys who never wear shirts (you know who you are).

(Personilized T shirt) hm, I did this myself, gave it to him to early I should have waited..
Also, a homeless person on SL doesn't always mean they don't own land...
And I find gift cards the best for the person who has everything..

Or that they even want to. But cash is always a welcome gift.

The title to this thread is sort of misleading. The avatar doesn't have everything. And just one person points it out and says what should of been said anyway?

How can one have everything when they don't have what the majority here have? Homes and residency are the one thing most look forward to getting once they join sl.

So in other words the avatar in question is rich but homeless? Does this sound logical?

If he/she "has everything or will get it" as stated in the title then why not a home? For one to have everything or able to get anything means they're well off financially or rich, but to remain homeless just doesn't sound right. It's true this doesn't make sense.

Not for this person. If he has everything or can afford to get it as stated then cash the avie doesn't need.

How about a place to live?
