Unique Gift Ideas Stand Out From the Crowd
Looking for unique gift ideas? No one will be able to accuse these gifts of being ordinary
If you're anything like me, you're always on the prowl for unique gift ideas. I love shopping for gifts, I love giving gifts, and yes, I also love receiving gifts. What I don't love is resorting to the same old 'tried and true' gifts over and over again.
Fortunately, there are plenty of creative and unique items out there, ranging from unique birthday gift ideas to unusual gifts for grandparents. Don't believe me? Here's a sneak peek to get your creative juices flowing!
1. Ooma Bowl
The ooma bowl is a perfectly unique gift for the new generation of singles and childless couples who -- let's just admit it -- spend most of their time eating meals on the couch. Who wants to balance a plate on their laps? The ooma bowl keeps food separate but together, and it's perfect for a quick meal, a bowl of salsa and chips, or even separate popcorn bowls if someone's a little too heavy handed with the salt.
2. Stainless Steel Carabiner Mug
Looking for a really unique gift idea for coffee lovers? Why not a mug they can't possibly lose! This stainless steel mug has a carabiner for a handle (one of those clippy things) so that you can carry it around on your belt loop. If you know someone who can't stand to be without their coffee fix, this is the perfect solution.
3. The World's Largest Gummy Bear
Who wouldn't want a five-pound gummy bear? This gelatinous monstrosity provides the equivalent of well over 1,000 of its smaller cousins. Forget cute: this gummy will have you gaping in terror. And for some people, that's exactly the kind of creative gift idea calculated to warm their little hearts.
4. Cow Poo Paper
Need unique gifts ideas for the environmentalist in your circle of friends? Get back to nature with cow poo paper! This paper really is made from cow poo, but it's not gross looking, and don't worry: there's no smell. It's fun for the novelty if nothing else, and it actually is an eco-friendly way of producing paper.
These are just a few ideas! So get your creativity pumping, and come up with some unique gift ideas of your own -- or you can just use mine (I promise not to tell).
