Gift giving should be fun as you see the joy and excitement your gift brings to your recipient. Picking the perfect gift can be challenging, however, especially if you have run out of unique gift ideas. There are many unusual gift ideas for everyone if you know how to come up with them.

The best way to come up with an unusual gift idea is to think about the things that the recipient likes. If the person you are shopping for likes to read for example most people would think of getting them a book, gift certificate to a book store, or some type of reading accessory. To find a unique gift think of something related to books but not that common. An unusual gift for the book lover on your list would be the Kindle, an electronic reading device that allows the reader to download and read thousands of different books.

If someone on your list enjoys dining out you may think of getting them a gift certificate to their favorite restaurant, however everyone else may think of, and give the same gift certificate to the exact same restaurant. So a very unusual gift for someone who likes to dine out would be a "Dinner of the Month" membership where they receive gift certificates to a different restaurant of their own choosing every month. With this gift they can try different restaurants all year long. This type of gift is fairly new, having been introduced only recently on the Internet, and offers gift certificates to over 7000 restaurants throughout the United States.

Speaking of "throughout the United States," you could give land in each of the 50 states to everyone on your gift list. Sounds farfetched but it’d be one square inch in any or all of the states. They'll receive a deed to each piece of their property and be able to mount them on the wall confirming their ownership. This is one of the most unusual presents you can find and one of the most talked about gift ideas currently on the Internet.

If you have a sports fan on your list you will probably think of getting them some type of sports memorabilia or other sports related gift. For a truly unusual gift you might consider getting them something made from materials salvaged from their favorite sports stadium. You can buy pens, cufflinks, tools, and other items made form the wood, metal, seats, and other objects salvaged from old sports stadiums that have been torn down. This type of gift is very unique and sure to please a sports fan.

Personalized gifts are always unique and it is easy to find many personalized gifts online. Personalized stamps are very popular and most unique as well. You can have any photo made into a legal stamp that can be used to mail cards, invitations, announcements, or any type of mail and present them to someone special on your list. Personalized stamps make occasions such as birthdays, graduations, anniversaries, and Christmas special when they feature a meaningful picture on them.

Another great idea for unusual gift giving one of the many "Gifts of the Month" memberships offered online. You can select gifts like "Flowers of the Month," "Chocolates of the Month," "Beer of the Month" and such diverse things as wines, ice cream, and on and on. When you buy a "Gift of the Month" they'll email you a gift certificate which you can print out and present to the recipient. These make great gifts for everyone on most people’s gift lists.
