5 Unique Christmas Gift Ideas for Your Loved Ones

amomentwithfranca · 26 November 2021 · 3 Comments

It’s almost time for our favourite festive season and we couldn’t be any more excited! Christmas is almost here and we’ll need to get a headstart with our shopping for Christmas gifts for our nearest and dearest. Since many of us exchange gifts for various occasions, going for something mainstream is probably not the best idea.

While there may be people from your list who would prefer something more traditional, for those that don’t, you could get adventurous and gift them something unique and different. A monthly gourmet chocolate subscription, a unique gaming experience or perhaps something handmade – the options are endless!

With this in mind, if you’re looking for some unique Christmas gift ideas for your loved ones, we’ve got you covered.

Here are some of our top picks!

1. A Subscription To A Luxurious Box Of Chocolates

A box of chocolate is something everyone gives or receives during Christmas. While it may seem like a cliched gift for Christmas, there’s a way you can change that. For your unique Christmas gift ideas, consider giving your loved ones a luxury chocolate subscription to delectable gourmet chocolates over the usual mainstream chocolate boxes.

There’s nothing quite like a box of fresh handmade chocolates and when it’s a monthly subscription, it’s even better! Your loved one gets to indulge themselves with these delicious treats, delivered straight to their doorstep; it does not get any better!

2. Thrilling VR Gaming Experience

For the kids or adults in your family who love gaming or enjoy an adrenaline-filled experience, VR gaming is another unique Christmas gift idea that you could definitely consider. VR gaming elevates traditional gaming and provides a more immersive and engaging experience. With this, you feel as if you’re in an entirely different world or dimension.

Places like MeetspaceVR provide various types of engaging VR experiences that people of all ages can enjoy! You could book slots or even get a gift voucher as your Christmas gift to your loved one to any of the incredible VR experiences, they’re definitely going to have a memorable day with this!

3. Custom Artistic Decor Pieces

Another great gift for your unique Christmas gift ideas is a custom art decor piece. Personalised gifts are always the best as they’re made especially for a particular person.

With so many incredible businesses selling these on Etsy and other online platforms, you could get custom-made artistic decor pieces for your loved one. From bold neon name signs to art pieces, there’s a whole bunch of options available that you can select from.

Based on what the recipient would prefer, you could give an order for the decor piece accordingly. This idea is definitely going to bring a big smile to the recipient’s face.

4. Fun And Unique DIY Kits

Particle maker kit, electronics project maker kit, circuits kits on black table.

For those who prefer to make art themselves, a fun DIY kit is the way to go! DIY kits are popular amongst people of all ages – and for good reason!

They let you try out a variety of different creative activities by yourself. Fluid art, jewellery making, interior design, cooking, etc. there are many different categories that you can choose from to gift your loved one this Christmas.

Additionally, you could also consider getting one for yourself so that the both of you can try it together for a memorable day!

5. A Set Of Potted Plants

For those with a green thumb or are wishing to develop one, potted plants are another great and unique Christmas gift idea that is worth considering.

From bonsai and cactus to ferns and other flowering plants, there are many incredible plants that serve as excellent gifts. Based on the recipient’s experience with plants, you could accordingly gift them something that they will be able to take care of easily.

Additionally, you could also get them customised ceramic pots and consider engraving them with the recipient’s name for that extra special touch to the gift. They’ll definitely feel warm and special with this unique gift idea for Christmas.

To Sum Up…

Christmas is a special time with many of us looking for the perfect Christmas gifts to give those we love. While many of us always have some ideas in mind, exploring all your options can lead you to find something unique and different.

While we’ve put together only some of our favourite unique Christmas gift ideas, there are many more options you could explore and choose from. Whatever gift you choose, since it’s for your loved ones, make sure to add a personal touch to make it a memorable gift that they’ll surely love.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
