Who else has gotten fuzzy socks every Christmas for the last seven years? Don’t get me wrong, having a rainbow of fuzzy socks is a dream for this self-care enthusiast, but I would love to expand my horizons a bit. Whenever I receive a unique gift—whether it be personalized, specific to me and my interests, or an inside joke between me and the giver—I always feel incredibly special. That family member, friend, partner, or co-worker took time out of their day to think about what I would truly like to receive. Cue the waterworks. Honestly, the thought means so much more to me than the actual gift itself.
Gift-giving is one of my primary love languages, so this year, instead of resorting to my go-to presents like a new water bottle, a gift card, or a fuzzy blanket (all superior gifts btw), I’m going to dig deep and give my loved ones a quirky gift that they’ll never forget. I’m definitely winning Christmas this year. Not that it’s a competition, but if it were, Santa would be in second place. As exciting as one-of-a-kind gifts are, with all the chaos of the holiday season, not everyone has countless hours to brainstorm potential gifts. If you’ve already referenced The Everygirl’s perfectly curated gift guide and are still stuck on what to get your loved one, read on for 20 unique gift ideas that are sure to show up the big guy.
