All opinions are mine and mine alone.
We all have at least one friend that is a little unique. The one who goes against the grain on pretty much anything. We love them dearly, of course, but these are the friends that can make birthdays and Christmas difficult. What do you get them? Well, rest assured these suggestions should give you some food for thought. Here are some of the gift ideas I recommend for your unique friends.
Home in on the things they like
The chances are your friend is interested in something that no one else is. They may like collecting things of a particular animal, or just love things that are a little different. Even though you think it would be hard to buy for these friends, they will actually give you clues as to what they may like. You just need to think outside of the box. If they like all things to do with pigs, then indulge that. If they like collecting a specific range of ornaments or trinkets then buy one to add to the collection. Maybe they are into different types of furniture or really unusual pieces of art. The thing is, when we look close enough, we actually have plenty of ideas staring us in the face.
A piece of jewellery
There is no denying that a piece of jewellery can be a really indulgent gift for anyone, and going for something that is a little unique or considered to be a statement piece could be the ideal option. Looking for Keepsake Jewellery Gifts can be easier than you think, and if you take into account personality, gemstones and the style they have you will easily find something that they will love and treasure.
Get something personalised
Unique people are often one of a kind. So why not consider that factor when purchasing a gift. Getting something personalised will make that item unique and different. There won’t be anything else like it. It could be as simple as a photograph, or even an engraved wine glass. Maybe a planner with their initials, or perhaps even something like a personalised teddy or t-shirt. These days there are so many options for personalised gifts. Choosing to add a personal message to a gift will give it the extra wow factor.
Pampering essentials
Many people love a bit of pampering. Men included. So buying some pampering essentials could make a great gift idea for your unique friends and family. You could choose to buy a set in their favorite brand. Or create your own hamper. Try and include every element to the ultimate pampering session. So consider things like essential oils and candles, bath soaks, and face masks. You may even want to include a miniature bottle of wine or a box of chocolates. These can often be the most thoughtful gifts to get someone, especially if you decide to make a hamper up yourself.
Pyjamas or loungewear
While on the subject of clothing, you can’t go wrong with a set of pyjamas or loungewear. Maybe even throwing in a pair of slippers or bed socks to match. There are so many gorgeous options available that you’d struggle to pick out just one set. For many, it’s best to stick with a theme or something they are interested in. These days you can get your hands on cartoon character sets, Disney sets and even ones with quirky quotes on. In most cases, pyjamas are not inexpensive, so that could be a great gift alternative.
Planners and Diaries
Most people, especially women, love stationery. So a planner or a diary could be a perfect choice. Thankfully you can buy these at any time of the year, and people can use them straight away. However, they tend to be a solid choice for a Christmas gift with the impending new year. Planners and Diaries are so much more than having a place to write appointments these days. Some have advanced note sections that allow you to plan your meals, keep a list of contacts and even keep track of how many glasses of water you drink. A planner isn’t just specific to dates and a diary format. These days you can buy planners that will work for anything. If the person you are buying for loves to cook, then you can buy them a planner where they can record their recipes. Perhaps they have just got engaged so a wedding planner could be a great option. Enabling them to note down all their wedding plans in one place. The options are endless, and you are sure to find something that fits for the person you want to buy a gift for.
Consider their hobbies
Sometimes the best gifts are ones that they will use a lot of. Which is why it is always worth considering their hobbies when it comes to choosing a gift. They may need some new equipment, or perhaps would welcome something to do with it like tickets for a show or books. People spend a lot of time perfecting their hobbies. So any friend would really appreciate the thought because you considered their interests.
Make something individual
Everyone loves a handmade gift. They show thought and initiative. So it’s no surprise that your unique friend would welcome a gift that is individual to them. It’s a great opportunity to flex your creative skills. You don’t need to do anything major. Perhaps even just making a card and choosing some words appropriate for the occasion would suffice. Everyone loves the gesture something handmade brings.
Give the gift of time
Finally, there is no better gift you can give anyone but your time. It’s time you can spend together doing something you both enjoy. It’s about being there for them when they need your help or support. Time is precious, and not everyone realises that they have the greatest gift of all at their fingertips. Showing interest and spending time with someone can also strengthen your friendship.
Let’s hope this has inspired you to think outside of the box when it comes to gifts for your unique friends.
