It’s Almost Christmas

This holiday season you could give out knitted socks again. Sure, everyone says they love them, but you can only tell yourself for so long that you don’t see the inward eye-rolling of the people who get your socks every year. This year, make those eyes snap open wide with surprise by using on of these unique Christmas gift ideas.

Give a Gift that Shows Up Every Month

What do you know about the person who you’re trying to find a unique Christmas gift idea for? Think about the hobbies they have. Do they like to read? A subscription to a magazine relating to a hobby they love, as this would make the perfect unique Christmas gift idea. Magazine subscriptions aren’t as lame as they seem, if they really match the interest of the recipient. An added advantage of giving any kind of subscription, the gift keeps coming every month.

There are many different kinds of subscriptions that might be appreciated:

• Beverages: beer, wine, coffee, tea
• Edibles: fruit, chocolate, cookies, lobster, hot sauce
• Other: teddy bears, cigars, candles, flowers

Amazon will even let you subscribe to grocery items — now that would be thinking outside the box.

It shouldn’t be too hard to find a something special of the month for you any adult on your list. Plus it’s a lot more fun to get than a gift card.

Buy Jewelry for Men on Your List

Women expect to receive jewelry from time to time, but for most men it is a real surprise. Cuff links and money clips are a traditional gifts, but earrings, bracelets, and chains are not. But lots of guys like to wear high quality jewelry like this. For older or more traditional fellows, you might want to look at some of new watches that are classy and very masculine. Important tips: buy the good stuff not the discount store bargain bin items.

Spa Visit or Massage Session

Anyone would appreciate this Christmas gift. At the end of the year folks are stressed out and would love to get a free massage or spa day. Many places will have a Christmas special or a package deal for someone who is looking for multiple sessions. In fact you could design your own subscription package.

Give Granny a Wii

If you want to buy a gift that the whole family can enjoy, consider buy a Wii. But for Granny get the Wii and Wii Fit. It’s vitally important for older folks to engage in exercise they enjoy. After seeming a group of senior play golf and tennis using a Wii, I know they would love to get one. Plus they would be able to join the grandkids in a fun workout.

The Wii is a bit expensive so maybe you want to get together with one or more of your siblings to buy the Wii. Remember you have to help set it up too.

Think about the individual and you won’t have any trouble coming up with a unique Christmas gift idea for everyone on your shopping list.
