12 Unusual Christmas Gift Ideas

Here's a confession for you: I don't enjoy shopping for Christmas gifts. It's not that I don't like to give gifts, because I do, I love seeing my friends and family happy because of something that I got for them, and I know the way that I treasure gifts and hope others do the same. It always makes me happy to use something someone gave me, because not only do I enjoy the item itself, but I get to think "Oh, so-and-so gave me this, that was so nice" and I get a bonus smile.

But finding the perfect gift is HARD. You don't want to get something that they already have, but you want it to be something they will like, too. So unless you know them REALLY well, it's hard to find the balance.

Well, don't worry, Santa's little helper is here for you. Here are a few unusual Christmas presents that your friends and family might enjoy-- and where to find them!

1. Owl Mug

These hand painted stoneware mugs are sure to bring a smile to lovers of owls and coffee. So cute!

2. Don't drop the f bomb!

I don't even have to say anything here. I know you have already thought of the perfect person for this fine, classy paperweight.

3. Peacock Glasses Holder

Just look at this guy! Who wouldn't smile as they bespectacle a peacock every night before bed?

4. Balloon Dog Night Light


Balloon animals + night light= perfect present for a child in your life.

5. FREAKING UNICORN TERRARIUM!

Did you hear me, people? You can make an adorable little home for your unicorn.

6. Funny Wall Art

All of the 90s kids who grew up playing Oregon Trail will appreciate this.

7. Seven Deadly Sins Glasses


Which of the seven deadly sins does alcohol bring out in you? Now you can show it off while you drink.

8. Middle Earth Coasters

Delightfully geeky, yet practical.

9. Viking Hair coils

For a totally unique gift idea, something to style up your hair.

10. Green Lantern Ring

Or maybe a Green Lantern ring that actually lights up?


11. Sally's Jars

Just set these guys on the mantle for smiles... or stares, depending on the company you have.

12. Foodie Dice

If you want to be on Hell's Kitchen without all the yelling (or prizes, to be fair), these foodie dice as just for you!

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
