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.
