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.

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

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

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