10 unique Christmas gift ideas

1. Vintage turntable

The Crosley Voyager turntable is the perfect gift for music lovers with a taste for vintage charm. 

While it comes in a variety of colours, we are partial to the stylish sage green finish.

Equipped with Bluetooth, it seamlessly connects to devices and external speakers, while the built-in speakers offer instant playability. 

Ideal for rediscovering vinyl classics or spinning modern hits, it delivers warm, nostalgic sound in a modern package. 
This turntable is thoughtful, practical, and is perhaps one of our favourite unique Christmas gift ideas.

2. Storm in a jar

The Storm Glass is more than just an ornament – it forecasts the weather!

Or so they say…

Using technology created over 250 years ago for ships to navigate safely and avoid poor weather, the contents of the jar transform to “predict stormy seas”.

A couple of shipwrecks later and we now know that the liquid mixture really just changes how it behaves depending on the temperature.

But that doesn’t mean that it isn’t cool. The ever-changing state of the jar makes for a very eye-catching tabletop gift. 

It’s an especially great time to give it out too – they’ll be seeing lots of activity in the jar now that the colder months are approaching.

3. Alcoholic ornaments

This is one of our more spirited and unique Christmas gift ideas.

Capture the Christmas spirit (or plain ol spirit of the alcoholic kind) in these festive baubles and toast with friends and family!

Made from durable food friendly plastic, these so-called “ornaments” have a screw off top to fill them with your favourite tipples.

They even come with an included hook  for your Christmas tree to join in on the fun. Fill em up and decorate – but don’t let that tree collapse before you do!

In fact, bring them out on Christmas day itself. After all, there’s nothing like a little liquid cheer to get the festivities going.

 

4. The Moon

Give your loved ones a gift that will light up their world.

3D printed to capture the details of the moon in all its luminous glory, this little lamp is sure to enchant its future owner.

Unlike normal boring lamps, this one can be disconnected from it’s cable to be carried around as a display or photography prop.

Aside from being an amazing gift for space lovers, it’s also suitable as a nightlight. The brightness and color of the lamp can be adjusted according to personal preference.

This makes it a wonderful gift for kids who will quickly fall under its spell. But make sure to tell them beforehand that you’ll be giving them the moon 😉


5. Suede slippers

Don’t you just dislike the feeling of your feet being exposed to the cold air in the winter?

With these fluffy slippers, you’re able to keep your feet warm and toasty all day long, indoors and outdoors. The anti-slip rubber roles will also reduce the chances of slipping when you’re outside of the house.

These women’s suede slippers are meant for people of all ages — be it your niece, sister, cousin, mother, grandmother…you name it. 

We’re sure whoever you’re gifting it to will be really happy to receive them.

6. Storybook DIY kit

Ideal for the crafty book lovers in your life, this storybook DIY kit is truly one of the most unique Christmas gift ideas. 

The kit features a 3D tableau lit by mini LED lights which you can hand-assemble. 

The delicate, precision laser-cut basswood pieces fit together with mortise and tenon joinery so you need no glue for assembly.

There are five different enchanting scenes to choose from, each with a different difficulty. 

For instance the Sunshine Town can take up to seven hours while Romantic Venice will only take you about two to three. 
These cosy nooks make for an interesting addition to a bookshelf, creating more magic and mystery in your library.

7. A white Christmas

Hoping for a white Christmas this year? Don’t leave it to chance with some artificial snow.

Wait, that exists?

Yes it does! And with just a little water, the mixture quickly expands into the the real deal… or at least something like it.

Point is it’s white, fluffy, non-toxic and even cold just like good ol’ regular snow.

Use it for decorating or a little science-y amusement, either way it’s sure to be a hit all round.

8. Snooowwwballl fight!!

Faux snow? What has the world come to!

Well, while we’re on the topic here are some imitation snowballs to go with it 🙂

Liven up any possible dull family reunion with a present that’s sure to get things going.

Weighted just right to pack a solid and satisfying (but not painful) whoop, expect these to still be in used long after the holiday season is ends. They are just that much fun!

Best part is that they are machine washable for easy cleaning and don’t even leave the slush of a real snowball fight.

9. Sweater-turned-pillow

Ugly Christmas sweaters are a symbol of the holidays but this pillow is definitely not one of them.

Give your friends (or yourself) a gift that’s sure to make any living room a tad cosier with this sweater looking throw pillow cover.

Snuggly, soft, and incredibly seasonally appropriate, simply button up the cushion cover just like a sweater to give those faded throw pillows a wintery looking makeover.

10. Self gift: Sofa makeover

In the mood to treat yourself this Christmas?

Here’s a gift that will steal the show every time you walk into your living room. A “new” sofa.

While your sofa itself may not have travelled back in time, a simple couch cover is all that’s required to make it look, and feel new again.

It’s even better if you’re expecting guests. Revive that stale couch before Christmas and leave them in awe!

When the festivities are over, simply machine wash the covers to get them fresh and ready to tackle the new year.

Truly the perfect gift now that we’re all going to be spending too much time indoors.

After all, the couch is where you’ll be spending most of the time snuggling up during the cold months.
