Are you looking for a Christmas gift (or any gift for that matter) that is going to stand out from the rest? Something that you likely have not gifted in the past and your receiver may not even know is out there? I have put together five unique gift ideas that I feel are different from you average candle or coffee mug (don’t get me wrong I still love those as gifts too!)

Let’s admit it some people are just h.a.r.d. to shop for. There are the super picky people you feel are always stone faced when opening gifts so you never really know if they liked it or you get the people that literally just buy themselves what they want when they want it. These gifts are for those people (and everyone else) because we all know a few and we all need a little help in those cases. These unique gift ideas are family focused and are a mix of something that would be good for Moms, Dads and the kids.

5 Unique Gift Ideas for the Picky Receiver

1. The Gift with Sentiment // About Dad book by Uncommon Goods:

This “What I Love About Dad” book is perfect as an under the tree or stocking stuffer gift from the kids. You get to sit down with them prier to gifting and fill in all the blanks that allows your kids to describe their dad. What a fun keepsake that isn’t too big to save for a lifetime.

2. The Gift of Quality Time // Plan a date night or vacation:

Gifts that include getting to spend quality time with your friend, family member or significant other are always my favorite. It could be as simple as a date night in with this microwave popcorn popper and a movie or you could book a night (or five) away for a much needed getaway.

3. The Gift that Keeps Giving // LillyPost Subscription Box: 

Over the last three months we have been getting Lillypost boxes shipped to our house for both of our kids. I have seen first hand the joy that it brings them to open up these personally wrapped boxes of books each month. This gift is really one that keeps on giving as you will receive the boxes just before Christmas and can subscribe for them to arrive for the next 3 months, 6 months or year. The price is so affordable for the quality of gifts that you receive.

4. The Gift of Learning // Hand Lettering E-Course:

I love gifts that involve learning a knew skill. If you have a creative friend or partner that you think is interested in learning hand lettering this is the perfect idea for them. They will get to spend so much time diving into the online course and getting so much more then just a one time gift at Christmas. Colleen is a super talented designer and has recently launched her e-course that is already getting such incredible feedback.

5. The Gift that Never Expires // Perpetual Wall Calendar:

Calendars have always been a super popular gift idea, but they always expire. Let me introduce you to the perpetual wall calendar that is made to last forever. This is perfect for your design savvy friends who love modern and on trend gifts. It is under $50 and what’s not to love really?!

Enjoy your holiday shopping and remember not to go overboard (mostly writing that out for myself as a reminder). Give gifts that will be remembered and valued, I believe all of these unique gift ideas will add value to the receivers day. Hey, if you go for something on the list and the off chance they don’t like it you can blame me, I will take full credit, because let’s be honest, that’s not going to happen!
