Unique/Unusual Gifts

While we’re on the topic of creativity, we’re also going to talk about unique/unusual gifts.  This is a hard category to define.  This is the category of gift that is unexpected in some way.  It may be that the gift itself is “different” – perhaps designed to appeal to some specific niche or solve a problem that no other product addresses.  Or it may just be that the design of the product makes it a fit for a particular demographic.  (Like the U.S.S. Enterprise baby spoon!)  Another option is a subscription to something, which will be like having a new gift all year long, rather than just a one-time thing. (These “novelty” sorts of things can be great for those people who already have everything they need – because they’re fun!)

A few out-of-the-ordinary gift ideas:

• sample boxes
• make-your-own music box
• puzzle sandwich cutter
• Happy Toy plushies
• unusual ice trays
• DNA artwork
• cell phone buddies

For more ideas, see the unique/unusual gift category of the Gift Guide.
