Unique Personalized Christmas Gifts
People, are happy to own something that no one else has got such as a unique personalized Christmas gift. So, if you really want to impress a person, you might want to give him or her a unique Christmas gift. Such a gift will be highly appreciated and you will get a permanent place in the memory of the person who receives it.
If you have some special skills for drawing, painting, handcrafting, stitching, or writing poetry, it would be ideal to give a gift that you have made yourself. But everyone would not have such talents. Further, even those who have the skills, may not always have the time to work on one. So, for your help, a few unique gift ideas are provided below.
Personalized Gifts
Even if you are buying ordinary gifts like jewelry or clothes, you can engrave a name on it, or sew a message on it so that every time the recipient uses that gift, he or she will appreciate the uniqueness of it. Try Personalization Gift Mall for a large selection of unique gifts.
Monthly Gift Clubs
Monthly gift clubs have an arrangement whereby they will send a gift every month to the name and address you provide. If you want all the gifts to be food items, they will send chocolate, wine, beer, pie, cake, or similar things every month. If you want the gift to be books or DVDs, or any conglomeration of items like cosmetics, shoes, clothes, flowers, or whatever, they would send those accordingly.
Celebrity Memorabilia
If the gift recipient is a fan of a film star or sports celebrity or an ideology, get him or her a photograph or jersey with the name or symbol stamped on it.
Romantic Gifts
A beautiful bedroom lamp, lacy pillow covers, and monogrammed quilt will make good romantic gifts. Besides, there are many sites that give romantic gift suggestions.
Handcrafted Gifts
Handicraft items made of bamboo, wood, straw, coconut shell, etc. make good Christmas gifts. Then there are stuffed (taxidermied) animals, bonsai, ceramics, sculptures, brass lamps, candle stands, and similar things to choose from.
Stock Certificates
If you have a good eye for selecting stocks whose value is likely to rise over the years, it is one of the best gifts you can give. If you are buying one for a biker, a good choice will be a stock certificate of Harley Davidson.
Gift Jokes
You can have your unique idea of a prank as a substitute for a Christmas gift. There are also many sites that provide Christmas prank ideas. Another suggestion is arranging a treasure hunt as a Christmas present by keeping a note under a pillow and keeping another note at the point to which the first notes leads and so on.
What is a Unique Gift?
Whether an idea or an object is unique or not, will have to be decided in the context in which it is used. An expensive art masterpiece would definitely be unique but its price tag would be beyond the reach of most. But if you are creative, you can turn inexpensive things also into unique objects that the user would forever cherish.
Personalizing an object is one way of making a gift unique. Try to find out what exactly the gift recipient needs and make a gift of it by adding something special. If it is jewelry, get a name engraved on it. Or if it is a locket, get a photograph enclosed inside it. Or gift a nose-ring or anklet, which are ornaments that are not commonly worn.
For those who wear glasses, gift eyeglass chains or necklace or holders made of colored beads or silver or even gold. It will beautify the wearer and will also help her to track her glasses. Objects made of raw stones, fossils, and crystals will also work well as gifts.
An antique object is a fairly old object – at least 70-80 years old – which is a collector’s delight. Most antique objects will have something special that demarcates them from the objects that are seen nowadays. If it is a piece of jewelry, its pattern could be special. Then there may be war memorabilia, a photograph taken a century ago, or a coat or a cap that a great grandparent had worn. All these can be touched up and gifted without spoiling its uniqueness.
Be Creative This Christmas
There are many companies that advertize antique objects or give suggestions for creating unique gifts. However, you have to be the final arbiter of things. For a gift to be effective, however unique it is, you should correctly know the requirement and habit of the person receiving the gift.
Do not get rid of every old object by throwing it into the dust bin or disposing it in a yard sale. You can turn an old pocket watch of your grandfather into an attractive pendant, or polish the brass casing of an empty artillery shell to create an attractive item for home décor. You can take suggestions from family members on how old things can be utilized beautifully.
Finally, do not forget to wrap the gift in an attractive way. Wrap it in such a way that the recipient will not be easily able to guess what the object is. Even if the gift is not as unique as you had wanted it to be, you can make it unique by putting a small note inside the gift. Note down an incident that you had probably shared with that person, or use a good quote or a passage from a famous work. And if you have the ability to write a little poetry, enclosing it with the gift is probably the best way to make it unique.
