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!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
