5 Unusual Gifts - Ideas That Are Appropriate For Any Adult (unusual holiday gifts)

Unusual Holiday Gifts

If you have a birthday party, anniversary party, graduation party on the way or if there is a holiday coming up where you need to give a gift but you don't want to give the same kind of gifts that everyone else gives, here are 5 unusual but fun gift ideas that are appropriate for and will be appreciated by any adult.

Give these to your kid's teacher, your co-workers, or your best friend of twenty years and they will enjoy these gifts and use them.

1. A pet related gift - Does the person getting the gift have a pet? Take a photo of the pet and have something useful made with the pet's image on it. You can have your friend's pet made into a soft plush toy that goes on a keychain or get your friend's pet's face emblazoned on a door mat. Pet people love their pets and your friend will love the fact that you took the time to have something custom made.

2. Make a "Sweet Dreams" gift basket - This is appropriate for any adult that has a stressful job and will be very much appreciated since most people don't take the time that they should take to relax every day. Put in items like a handmade mug and a selection of herbal teas or hot chocolate, comfortable slippers, a new robe, a special pillow, a book of inspirational poems and sayings about sleep, and some bath salts or bath oils.

3. Children's books - There are some classic children's books that almost everyone has read and loved. If the gift is for a friend and you know the childhood books they treasured buy copies of their favorite titles and give them the children's books and a new journal to encourage them to remember what they dreamed about as a child and to use the journal to make plans to follow those dreams. If you don't know the specific books they liked just get classic books like the Dr. Seuss books.

4. Gift certificates for some alternative therapies - Lots of people give gift certificates and gift cards for things like massages or spa days, surprise your friend or loved one with a gift certificate for some Reiki energy bodywork or an acupuncture session. Many people have thought about trying alternative therapies but don't want to spend the money so a gift certificate for an alternative therapy session will let them try it out without spending any money.

5. A gift certificate for a house cleaner - Almost every business professional or working mom has thought about hiring a house cleaner at some point but because of pride or because of the expense doesn't get around to it. Give a friend or a loved one a chance to find out how nice it can be to have someone else clean their home for a change. This is an especially great gift around holiday time when everyone is trying to get their homes ready for the holidays.
