Ever do a gift exchange with your family? How about Secret Santa with your co-workers? Or even watched in anticipation at a friend’s or child’s birthday party? The excitement builds and everyone can’t wait to see what unique holiday gift ideas the rest have gotten. You just know that this year is going to be different. Finally the time to open gifts has arrived, and you watch as all the gifts are opened and to everyone’s disappointment, the presents are the same old ones from last year, and the year before, and even before that one.

Do you really want that to happen again this year? Do you really want to be the person giving ties, watches even kitchen utensils? Oh, and don’t get me started on those who can’t make up their mind and a simply give you a gift card.

Here are some ideas to bring a sense of personality, panache and possibly peculiarity to your holiday gifts this year.

For the Garden Lover
A glass crystal flower in a delicate vase.
A Chia-plant herb garden.
A new pair of garden gloves stuffed with some seed packets.

For the Tech-Lover
A multiple electronic charging station.
An accessory or accessory set for their favorite gadget.
A digital picture frame.

For the Cook
A unique kitchen gadget that they wouldn’t buy for themselves, like a citrus zester or a corn-on-the cob holder set.
A baking mix that you prepared especially for them — there are plenty of places you find a recipe to put in a jar
For those who love to grill — a wood chip smoker box and some aromatic wood chips.

At the heart of all these unique gifts is the thought that went into them. Before getting the gift you thought about the receivers interests and made the gift fit that one of them. All of the gifts above would be boring to one person and the best gift ever for another. So, the key to unique gift giving is knowing the person you’re giving the gift to, even if just a little.
