Unique and Unusual Gift Ideas for Those You Love

May 28th, 2009

Tired of giving the same old thing for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions? If you are wracking your brain trying to come up with unique and unusual gift ideas for those who are special to you, here are some ideas that are sure to please.

Gift scrolls are a great way to give something personalized and meaningful. Made to look like a painting, these contain the recipients first name and it’s meaning, history and list of famous people sharing that name. These are usually elegant looking and are surrounded by seals, borders and crests.

Is someone close to you more of an adventurer who loves to try daring and dramatic things? Buy them a balloon ride! This is perfect for children as well as adults, and is sure to thrill. This is certainly a unique and unusual gift idea.

Does someone in your family love to cook? You may want to consider putting together a homemade recipe book, filled with recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation, and include a few new ones. Use brightly colored index cards and place in a rolodex, or make a recipe “scrapbook” and decorate the outside with unique fabrics and trim.

Here is a unique and unusual gift idea that may be the most original of all. Name a star after someone! You can actually name a star in the sky after someone you love. The recipient will receive a special certificate, a sky map showing the exact location of their star and its coordinates, and a beautiful pendant in their choice of necklace or key ring. This is definitely a gift they have never gotten before!

Well, now you have plenty of ideas. You don’t have to give the same old thing year in and year out. This time, make your loved one feel extra special by giving something totally different. These unique and unusual gift ideas are sure to get you thinking of other ways to give a present that is out of the ordinary.
