Looking for the perfect gift to give this holiday season? Want to give something better than the usual holiday fruitcake or something more interesting than a necktie?

Perhaps this year you could go a little out of the box. Here are seven unique, interesting gift ideas perfect for friends, family members, and lovers.

1. Inscribed or signed novel

Any bookworm will jump for joy if you give them a novel. Buy their favorite classsics to give as a gift. They’ll love the book as well as the fact that you know their favorites. If you want to make the gift even more special, get an inscribed copy. If you really care, the extra time and effort will be worthwhile.

2. Vintage antiques

Antiques are great gifts because they are quite rare. You won’t find them anywhere else in the world. If your loved one is fond of antiques, look around in shops in and around your city, or browse the Internet. Purchase something that reminds you of him or her.

3. Personalized presents

It would be very thoughtful of you if you give gifts to friends you’re not particularly close with. One very safe gift would be a personalized Christmas ornament. They give just the right amount of personal touch for such friends. Engrave or paint names, dates and other personal sentiments onto the ornaments.

For your real buddies, go for shirts, hats or other articles of clothing with a photograph or name printed on it. The piece of clothing immediately turns into a memorable gift.

A poem can delight anyone, from a family member to a significant other. They’re sweet yet not cheesy.

4. Practical presents

Some people prefer receiving practical items – something they can actually use everyday. On the other hand, it’s hard to figure out what to give if you want something more exciting than a bottle of cologne or a tie. If this is your dilemma, go for something fancier, such as grooming equipment, grilling materials, a handy vacuum, or a portable coffee machine.

5. A picnic indoors

If you’re planning to surprise your lover or spouse, you may not have to spend anything. One unique, romantic present you can give would be a nice, warm picnic in your very home. To add some spice to the dinner table, cook some of their favorite dishes and make plenty of fancy sandwiches, and then place them neatly into a picnic basket. Place a blanket neatly on the floor (near the fireplace if there’s one in your house) and enjoy a dinner together.

6. Weekend getaway

A weekend getaway is a great Christmas gift idea, especially if your loved ones live in a place with lots and lots of snow. It’s also nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life once in while. Holiday trips can soothe even the soul.

7. Bulk flip flops

Buy bulk flip flops rubber along with the tickets to your loved ones’ favorite beach destination. They’ll love the thoughtful gesture, and who doesn’t love brand new stuff? The whole family can benefit from bulk flip flops, and you might even have extra flip flops left for other occasions.
