Unusual Christmas Gifts that will Surprise and Delight

Are you looking for the perfect gift for the relative that seems to have everything already? Would you like to wow your recipient with a Christmas gift that is tailored just for her? Perhaps it is time to look beyond the traditional and conventional gifts to the unusual offerings that are guaranteed to surprise and delight your family and friends. With a bit of creative ingenuity and a few helpful tips, you will be able to find a smorgasbord of tidbits to tickle anyone's fancy.

What is in a Name?

A name can say it all, and there are many ways that you can show a person just how important his name really is with a unique Christmas gift. For example, did you know that you can actually name a star after a person? Your recipient will receive his own personalized star with a certificate showing exactly which star in the sky is named for him. The gift will also include a beginning astronomy kit, so your special person will be able to spend countless nights staring at the sky in search of his very own nighttime light.

Another fun, personalized Christmas gift for the diva in your family is a replica Hollywood star with your recipient's name printed right on it. Not only will your family member get a star to display for his own personal enjoyment; his name will also be entered into a "star of fame" database so that his name can live on. If a Hollywood Christmas gift is not particularly appropriate for that special someone, you can have a rose named after her instead. Your recipient will receive a packet of seeds to grow a beautiful flower in her own name. The name will also be registered in the "Amore" rose registry.

Personalize It

Perhaps you want to go a different route with your personalized Christmas gift, and customize a favorite item for your recipient. You can purchase bottles of champagne or wine with labels that are personalized to your special person. Or you can order a book for a certain child on your list that will personalize the story with his name and the name of his friends and family members. It is a great idea that will encourage the younger set to read for sure! There are also companies that will create a customized fragrance for that special person on your gift-giving list. People love to receive Christmas gifts that are tailored specifically to them.

So the next time you are in a quandary over what to buy the person who seems to be lacking for naught, try one of these unusual Christmas gift giving ideas. It is almost guaranteed that your recipient will not be at the mall the day after Christmas, waiting in line to exchange your personalized offering!
