Shopping for gifts can be stressful no matter the occasion, as we all know. It can be difficult to pick something that suits the individual’s personality while also avoiding things they might already have. Striking the balance between buying gifts that are interesting to both give and receiving without driving yourself crazy is a challenge.
You also don’t want to veer wildly into completely wacky gifts, necessarily. (Or maybe you do — we have a list for those things, too.) You want to choose something that’s a little bit novel, but also instantly familiar and usable. There are millions of items created to draw your attention, and of course it’s our job to make life easier for you. While you’re at it, we recommend that you get a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime so you can take advantage of two-day shipping — just in case you’re coming down to the wire.
Here are the 50 best unique gifts to help you choose something a little different without having to search high and low.
1. AirJamz App-Enabled Bluetooth Music Toy
(Zivix)
Great as a gift for a musician or just anybody, this Bluetooth-enabled device gives you over 100 sound options including guitar, synths, drums, and more. The app is available on either Android or iOS devices and up to four people can jam along together at once. We included this on our best instruments and musical toys for kids post, but pretty much anyone can get a kick out of it.

2. Ozobot 2.0 Bit, the Educational Toy Robot that Teaches STEM and Coding
Ozobot
Speaking of new and tiny tech, this is one of the world’s smallest robots, measuring just one inch in diameter. What makes this one extra special is that it’s programmable by a block-based programming language. While it’s aimed at kids, you could certainly give this to anyone who is looking to get into understanding how programming works. My initial programming language experience focused on making some works appear on a computer monitor, so this is an infinitely more entertaining way to learn. They also sell a starter box, which includes the markers you can use to draw maps to cause different reactions in the Ozobot, some examples, and blank sheets. In addition to the Bit, they also offer the Evo App-Connected Robot.

3. Wild and Wolf Night Folklore Enamel Coffee Mug
Wild and Wolf
Mugs are an evergreen and excellent gift since just about everyone has a use for them. Help your stand out by going for this lovely nighttime themed mug by Nina Jarema. It holds 14 ounces of their favorite beverage, and because of its delicate design, should be hand washed and kept out of the microwave. You can expando on this gift by including the matching coffee pot, plates, and sugar pot available in the same listing.
Price: $16.33

4. Silent Mind Tibetan Singing Bowl
(Silent Mind)
Sometimes unique means exploring new avenues. Tibetan singing bowls are played by rubbing the outside edge with a wooden mallet, which produces a resonant harmony, or the “singing” effect. It can be very relaxing and for some help to induce meditation. My wife has one and even if you never plan to meditate a day in your life as is the case with me, it can be very relaxing to pick it up from time to time. A unique gift for those who haven’t heard of them for sure.
Price: $31.99

5. Samsung SmartThings Hub
(Samsung)
Getting a home hub will change the way anyone interacts with their space. Using the SmartThings hub, virtually anything in the home can become remote-controlled via the app. From lighting to music to temperature, wifi enabled living takes full advantage of all the recent developments in connected tech. Samsung makes a multipurpose sensor, GE makes lightbulbs, and Amazon, of course, has its Echo ready to make all of these functions voice-activated.

6. Two Tumbleweeds Mixology Dice
(Two Tumbleweeds)
Is someone on your list trying to get into bartending?

With a die each for spirit, sugar, liqueur, citrus, fruit, herb, spice, and bitters, this set covers the full spectrum of ingredient options. Fun for parties, whether during the holidays or a night of cocktails in the summer.

7. KeySmart Compact Key Holder
(KeySmart)
Even practical gifts can be unique. This key holder turns an entire key ring into a compact unit. Great for those with many keys, or for people who hate to have a large keyring jangling from the car ignition. There’s an included loop ring for bulky car remote keys, too. This one will hold two to ten keys, but you can buy expansion packs to hold even more.

8. Shavetech USB Rechargeable Travel Razor

9. Plant Theatre Funky Veg Kit
(Plant Theatre)
Here’s something strange, even in its own category. This kit will let you grow purple carrots, red Brussels sprouts, stripy tomatoes, yellow zucchini, and multi-colored swiss chard. There are plenty of plant-growing kits out there, but few allow for the opportunity to pull something unusual out of the ground. This kit comes with the seeds, peat blocks, and pots. For even more out-there vegetable possibilities, consider the psychedelic salad kit.

11. SterlingPro Double Wall Stainless Steel French Coffee Press
(SterlingPro)
As I have mentioned before, I’m a coffee addict. I never go a day without at least three cups. In my opinion, the best cup of coffee comes from a French press. This lovely model uses double wall stainless steel construction that keeps coffee hot for a long time. If you’re giving this to someone just starting out on their coffee journey, don’t forget the grinder.
Price: $39.96

12. Fender Amp Tin Lunch Box

15. Timbuk2 Commute Messenger Bag
(Timbuk2)
Timbuk2 is a brand I was introduced to by my wife. She’d had a few of their bags in the past and they never failed her, so I got a few myself. I use an older version of this bag (which is notably not TSA-friendly) as my laptop bag, as well as a larger one for my overnight bag. I love them. They’re incredibly tough, stain resistant, and they look pretty good, too. I even have the Timbuk2 wallet, which I have used nonstop for 3 years now and love. There are separate laptop and iPad compartments so all your devices can travel safely. I recommend it.
Price: $48.74 – $171.00

16. Simon Pegg Autographed Shaun of the Dead Cricket Bat
(Celebrity Authentics)
If you want something really unique, go with a one-of-a-kind item like a movie prop. This cricket bat from Shaun of the Dead will make an excellent conversation piece.

Price: $499.99

17. La Siesta Organic Hammock Chair Lounger
(La Siesta)
If the someone you’re shopping for has been contemplating hammock or porch swing options, consider this lounger as a gift for them. This 100% cotton lounger is strong enough to support 1-2 people (up to 355lbs total), and features a bamboo spreader bar. It’s machine washable and is the perfect porch accessory. Some people even mount these indoors, if the structure of the house will support it.
Price: $169.90

18. Exploding Kittens
(Exploding Kittens)
Everyone knows about Cards Against Humanity. It’s outrageous and taboo. If you want something similarly outrageous try The Oatmeal’s Exploding Kittens game. It’s zany and goofy and even comes in a not safe for work version. Don’t forget to grab the Imploding Kittens expansion, too.
If you want to pick up a new game that isn’t outrageous as those two, consider Hive. It’s easy to pick up and start playing right away. Kind of like a tiny version of chess, but with bugs.
Price: $20

19. Amazon Echo
Amazon
Compatible with the Samsung SmartThings on this list, Amazon’s Echo will make your entire automated home voice-activated. The more you use it, the better it gets to know you and you voice, so performance will continue to improve over time. It would be a pretty cool gift if it was just that, but it’s also a room-filling speaker. A unique idea for anyone who wants to feel without a doubt that they are living in the future. If you don’t want to spend quite that much, consider picking up the Fire TV Stick with Voice Remote. If you find that the Echo is out of stock ahead of Christmas, try either the Echo Dot or Amazon Tap, both of which have very similar functionality.
Price: $99.99

20. Victorinox 4-Piece Knife Set
(Victorinox)
Do you have someone who loves to cook on your list? Chances are, they are in need of a decent set of knives. Most of us are still getting by on the Kitchen Aid knives we bought from the supermarket, but there is a clear winner in the inexpensive knife category. Victorinox makes a very solid knife for the price, featuring a no-slip grip and a blade that can take and hold a very sharp edge. Excellent value for the money.
Price: $119.95 (16 percent off MSRP)

21. Electrohome Archer Vinyl Record Player Stereo System
(Electrohome)
For the last decade or so, vinyl has been on the rise. For some of those periods, vinyl purchases even outstripped digital downloads. For most people, streaming like Prime Music is good enough, while others prefer to own a copy of the songs at least in digital format. Vinyl is the ultimate in music ownership. If the music lover in your life has been considering getting back into it, grab them this handy little player. It won’t require rebuilding a component system of years past, but will still let them appreciate the continuing rise of records. The acoustic wood cabinet of this unit will deliver rich sound even from the small speakers. You can also hook MP3 players up via USB or AUX in. If you don’t love the sound of the built-in speakers, you can always connect this to something like the Bose SoundLink Color via an AUX cable for a tiny stereo solution with huge, detailed sound.

23. Hense Smart Nightlight Alarm Clock
Hense
Is the person you’re shopping for a heavy sleeper? While most of us rely on our cell phones for our alarms these days, there’s just something charming about having one of these on the nightstand. Choose from eight colors, four of which feature the rainbow marks that really make this. The alarm is super loud for people who can sleep through anything. However, when the alarm isn’t going off, it’s completely silent with a smooth dial movement.
Price: $8.99 to $11.99

24. KitchenAid KSB5010SR Torrent Magnetic Drive Blender
(KitchenAid)
The best blenders on the market — like the Ninja, Vitamix, and Blendtec — all suffer from the same basic issue: they’re huge. They’re very tall and take up a lot of counter space. Plus, in the case of the Ninja, at least, they’re heavy. This KitchenAid unit solves that by utilizing an ingenious design that utilizes magnets to hold the pitcher in place. It has a 1.8 HP motor (sure, less than Blendtec’s 3 HP, but enough to get the job done) and automatic blend settings, all in a relatively compact package.

Go for the nautical theme with this set of four sea creature pillow cases featuring a seahorse, coral, starfish, and seaweed. Made of linen, these have a vintage look that will fit in many bohemian beachside cottages. These are just the cases, though, so you’ll need to grab the cushion inserts, too.

The greatest pinball machine ever made is Gottlieb’s Grand Slam from 1972.

41. PopSockets: Expanding Stand and Grip for Smartphones and Tablets
(PopSockets)
While the ever-increasing size of phones and tablets is advantageous in some ways — better screens, touch response, and resolution — for people with small hands, it can also be a major drawback. With a phone so large, you can’t quite get the same grip on it, which makes it prone to falling and being destroyed. Popsockets stick to the back of your phone or tablet, giving you something to grip without having to cradle the phone in the palm of your hand. You can also use them as stands for watching videos. The adhesive is endlessly reusable, so you can reposition it at will.
