Every lady on your gift list is special, whether you’re shopping for your mom, wife, girlfriend, sister or daughter. Because each woman deserves some thoughtful gifts that are unexpectedly creative and different, we’ve found some of the most unique Christmas gifts for her.
If you’re a daughter searching for unique gifts for mom, we’ve got some great gift ideas for you too.
So many women spend years searching for the perfect signature scent, only to be disappointed in the way it smelled after a day on the skin. It’s difficult to find just the right fragrance, because each woman’s taste (and olfactory senses) are different. This artisanal perfume making kit could be the end of her search, or the beginning of a grand and entertaining experiment.
This big kit includes everything to create custom scents, all boxed up beautifully for gift giving. It includes everything one needs to get started in the art of perfumery. With 12 of some of the best fragrance oils, she’ll be able to create almost any combination she desires. It includes a quick start guide to get making fragrances right away, plus perfume recipe cards and more.
To keep each of her perfume creations separate, you could also get her this lovely set of craft perfume bottles from Egypt.
Skip that traditional Christmas candle and go directly for this odd and unusual gift that’s not only going to deliver warm and glowing light, but will ignite conversations too. This cool beeswax candle self-extinguishes when the flame reaches the clip. While it’ll burn for up to 80 hours, you simply adjust the wax and never worry about forgetting to blow it out.
It comes with an artistic metal stand that features an elegant wick holder. Its unique design is both rustic, and innovative. Another unusual beeswax candle is the Candle by the Hour 70-Hour Beehive Candle, featuring clever little bees on the hive itself.
And if you just can’t give up the idea of a Christmas candle, the Candle by the Hour 80-Hour Christmas Tree Candle comes with 14 pretty charms decorating the holiday tree that even has a pretty star on top. If you really want to make this odd and unusual Christmas gift something to talk about, include a copy of Sue Monk Kidd’s The Secret Life of Bees to get the conversation started.
Talk about upping the ante on a traditional face mask! This smart treatment device can transform her skin in just 90 seconds. The latest in beauty technology, it combines an advanced face mask treatment with thermos/cry/LED light therapy. Plus we love anything called a UFO – it simply adds to the intrigue of this fun facial helper.
Thermotherapy preps the skin and opens up pores to increase mask absorption and lock in moisture. The cryotherapy cycle helps to lift, firm and reduce pore size. T-sonic technology boosts circulation while it gently massages skin, and LED light therapy promotes collagen production while firming sagging skin.
This app-driven device can be customized to any skin type and works with FOREO’s specialty masks.
This unique Christmas gift is great for someone who loves natural and organic herbs, but simply doesn’t have the garden space to grow them. With seeds sourced from the best gardens in the country, this is the perfect gift for a mom with kids, because they’ll quickly see the fruits of their labor.
This cool kit contains Basil, Thyme, Cilantro, Parsley, and Sage seeds. The Nature’s Blossom’s indoor grow kit also contains everything they’ll need to get started including seed starting soil pellets, biodegradable growing pots, plant markers, and an easy instruction manual. This fun kit is still available for delivery in time for Christmas.
We also love the Sow & Grow Kit for growing berries from seed, and the Sow & Grow Exotic Vegetable kit that has black corn, purple carrots, romanesco broccoli, and more. The lady on your Christmas gift list can start them in a window sill, and transplant to any outdoor garden space in the spring.
Sometimes you’d like to buy a gift simply because it’s beautiful and this gorgeous Confetti art glass vase is the perfect excuse to do it this Christmas. This unique piece is one of a kind just like your lady. It’s handmade from recycled materials and blown to perfection as a watertight vase that’s as functional as it is beautiful.
Created in the style of traditional Murano glass made in Italy, this piece was designed and made by the Seguso glass-crafting family, who have deep roots in Italy but now live in Brazil.
Similar to our featured vase, but even more vivid in color, the Carnival art glass vase is made by the same family of glass-crafters.
Your lady might be unexpectedly surprised and delighted by your gift of a rock. Wait. What? Well, this isn’t just any rock, it’s igneous basalt, out of which have grown clusters of glorious purple amethyst crystals. Amethyst is known as a stone of love and strength, and many healers still use this stone today to bring happiness, contentment, and clarity of mind.
This sparkling cluster of gems is both mesmerizing and a great conversation piece. Weighing in between 1-1.5 pounds, it’s perfect on a coffee table, desk or nightstand. Natch, if this rock isn’t impressive enough for your liking, you can always get her this 50 pound Amethyst Crystal Geode, or many other huge pieces of crystal decor.
The perfect combination of fashion and function, the Travelon Anti-Theft Travel Bag is one of our favorite unique Christmas gifts for her. This bag is so great looking, which might mask its security, but make no mistake, the features of this bag make it a must-have for the woman traveler.
It features a five-point anti-theft system that includes lock-down straps that help prevent thieves from grabbing it off her shoulder. Locking compartments and locking zipper pulls thwart pickpockets from snagging her phone, wallet, or passport. A slash-resistant barrier impedes cuts and tears, and slash-resistant straps prevent slash and go grabs. And, RFID blocking pockets help prevent identity theft.
But let’s also talk about organization because this bag delivers the goods with pockets and compartments for all her necessities from tablets to an expandable water bottle holder. Get it in six different colors and order early if she’s traveling to your house for the holidays! If she’s got more of a funky fashion vibe, the Travelon Boho Bag might be more her style.
We’ve all got those hilarious family photos in our archives, but for the woman on your Christmas list, this odd present is sure to brighten every single day of her year to come. With 365 daily family photos that are totally belly-laughable, this daily calendar is a perfect small gift for any woman.

If your lady gets a little sad when the summer growing season ends, or she just happens to love indoor gardening all year around, this sweet little hydroponic garden gives her the ability to grow starts, fresh herbs and more. Just insert the plant pods, fill the water, plug in and go. The soil uses a patented nano-tech growth medium that accelerates the plant growth, without jeopardizing quality.

They had me at monster. When it comes to odd, unusual gifts that are also totally fun and lighthearted, this food-safe, non-toxic, 100% nylon Nessie ladle blows traditional soup and punch ladles out of the water.

If your lady just can’t give up padding around the house in her flip-flops this winter, get her the perfect pair to keep her tootsies toasty and warm. These shearling slippers from UGG make the best of pure sheep shearling, lining the footbed and upper straps with that soft and cozy comfort.

If you want to look at other styles of warm women’s shearling slippers, find them here.
While we don’t recommend getting your lady a box of rocks for Christmas, we do recommend getting a lovely star design metal basket filled with huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt, which are so different than rocks. These beautiful salt crystals are designed to bring warmth and health to the mind, body and spirit.
While there are plenty of skeptics about the healing properties of these lamps, there are actual scientific facts to back up at least some of the claims. Just think about how the fresh sea salt air improves the way you feel in general.
Now if this nifty little lamp can do that for someone on your gift list, and provide beautiful, relaxing and glowing light too, it’s definitely a cool possibility for your list of odd and unusual gift items. It also has many other purported healing attributes, so do make sure to read more about Himalayan salt lamps.

It would be a perfect unusual gift for a woman’s office, nightstand or living room. Handcrafted by artisans with amazing imaginations, there are even more cool designs to choose from.
Women love wine, and frankly, they should get to take it wherever they go. Seems ridiculous to travel to the beach, barbeque or camping trying to juggle wine glasses. That’s when these oddly cool silicone wine glasses make the perfect unusual gift for the lady on your list.
She can crush them, fold them, stuff them into her pocket or purse, and then simply fill them with her favorite red, white, rosé, or bubbly to enjoy whenever the occasion calls for it. Better yet, they’re completely dishwasher safe and stain proof – an awesome attribute for sure.
These stemless silicone glasses hold a regular glass of wine or any other kind of drink. Made from clear silicone, they’re an intriguing option for Christmas. Collapsible plastic wine bottles are another interesting addition to the silicone glasses. A set of two will only set you back about ten bucks and you can take them anywhere you take your silicone glasses, without ever worrying about breakage.
Is your gal a secret weather nerd? This cool and unique gift will keep her up to date with the kind of forecast she can count on for her commute or just to satisfy her curiosity.

When you give the ladies on your list this unique gift, they’ll a lot be more appreciative than they might initially appear.
While this might seem like an odd gift idea for your lady, women get flat tires too. They need a simple and functional tire pressure gauge to see what’s up, and know whether they’re safe to drive to the tire center or if they should flag change their tire or flag down some roadside assistance.
This digital tire pressure gauge is ergonomically designed to fit perfectly in either a woman’s or man’s hand, and features an easy to read LED screen and non-slip rubberized grips for easy use in even the worst of weather conditions.
If your lady commutes to work by bicycle, the CO2 Inflator By Pro Bike Tool makes short work of fixing a flat on any ride.
Imagine a cleansing brush that’s smarter than your skin? That’s just what the FOREO Luna Fofo is going to show you. This little silicone brush connects with a smartphone app to evaluate your skin and exactly what it needs to look it’s best. You just snap a photo and upload it.

This Christmas, give the woman on your gift list a unique and most unusual essential oil warmer that will heal her spirit at the end of a long day. Beautifully crafted from stone, resin and glass, this sculptural piece shares the sisterhood of caregiving.

If you want to give her something that evokes more of the Christmas spirit, the Angelic Trio Essential Oil Warmer is a beautiful option.
Why is it that most women never think to carry a good Swiss Army Knife? Every woman needs a good MacGyver tool to get her out of a pinch when the going gets tough. Plus it never hurts to have some tweezers and a toothpick for the random sliver or that stubborn piece of spinach between her front teeth.
Get your gal the tool that will save her from those disasters and more. This pretty pink flowered Swiss has a sharp-as-a-razor knife blade, nail file, mini-scissors, and the aforementioned tools, all for under twenty bucks. This unusual gift will be a hit with your wife, girlfriend, daughter or mom.
If she’s more self-sufficient than some, don’t be afraid to up the ante with a big Swiss army knife. This Swiss Army Camper Pocket Knife features a saw, bottle opener, and wine key along with a gorgeous scene of Glacier National Park on it’s handle. Buying this cool knife helps to support the National Park Service, meaning you’re giving her a gift that also supports a cause she cares about, while ensuring she’s got all the tools she needs. Talk about twice the bang for your buck.
Charcuterie boards are wildly popular these days so for the woman who loves entertaining, this gorgeous bamboo cheese board makes serving guests a delight. First, it’s big and offers plenty of space for cheeses, fruits, and charcuterie meats. Second, it’s packed with options including utensils, reusable cheese markers and chalk, and slide-out trays for crackers, and more.
This sweet board also has four small ceramic round and square dishes for pickles, almonds, and other smalls. This one even comes with a wine opener, because naturally, she’ll be serving up some of that with her fancy platter of goodies.
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not give the lady on your Christmas list an easy way to whip up a healthy, high protein omelet in a matter of minutes? It’s simple with the Dash omelet maker. Plus this little kitchen gadget is cute as heck.
Designed with a narrow footprint and an upright storage option, the clever appliance is perfect for her kitchen countertop and can quickly slip into a cabinet once she’s done cooking. From omelets and fluffy frittatas to pizza pockets and even crispy skin salmon, this omelet maker makes quick work of her favorite snack and meals.
Another fave on our Christmas wish list is the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Burrito Maker, a quick healthy way to dump that stop at the fast-food joint and relax at home for a bit longer.
While this might indeed seem like an odd gift, and not at all holiday like, keep in mind, Santa isn’t the only one out after dark. Give your lady the gift of the ultimate in self-protection devices. The VIPERTEK tactical flashlight and stun gun really packs a punch. Just test firing this unit into the air is often enough to stop an attacker.
As the bright electric current pulsates between the test prongs and creates an intimidating electrical sound, an attacker with any sense at all will be stopped in his tracks. If the sight and sound don’t stop him, a jolt from this stun gun certainly will bring an attacker down.
When an attacker is touched by the stun gun it will disrupt the message the brain sends to the voluntary muscles. Simply touching an attacker will deliver a high voltage shock causing loss of balance and muscle control, confusion, and disorientation bringing him to his knees and making him incapable of further aggressive activity.
This stun gun isn’t legal in every state, so be sure to check this listing to make sure you can actually deliver this gift of safety and security.
Since you might have a teen lady on your list, a stun gun can’t be taken to high school, so give her something that she can take for self-protection. The Emergency Personal Alarm Key Chain looks like a pretty trinket, but it’s got a serious intent.
Let’s admit it, as fitness trackers have gotten smarter and more intuitive, they’ve gotten bigger and bulkier. Having recently replaced my old, narrow bracelet style fitness tracker, I’ve discovered I hate the wide band version I spent some serious cash on.
This fitness tracker from Bellabeat might be the perfect unusual gift for your lady on the go. The Leaf is a sleep, activity and reproductive health monitor, that helps her cope with stress through built-in breathing exercises. This smart piece of jewelry works as a tracking system for health, providing insights and helpful reminders to keep her on track.
Monthly cycles (fertile days, ovulation, period, and contraception intake) are tracked through the app, to help her keep tabs on her reproductive health. It can be worn as a necklace, a bracelet, or a clip. The Leaf syncs with the app and transfers data wirelessly.
It also vibrates to remind your lady to be more active, based on her set preferences. The leaf comes in this rose gold tone version, and you can also get it in silver as well as a woodgrain look.
Sure, you’re thinking “what the…?” It’s okay. We understand. Why in the world would you give your lady a jar of honey for Christmas? Indeed, when it comes to odd and unusual Christmas gifts, this ranks right at the top as a strange idea, but hear us out.
Would you give her this jar of Manuka honey if you knew a daily spoonful was filled with health-giving goodness? That changes everything, doesn’t it? This yummy sweet treat, produced only by bees who frequent the New Zealand Manuka flowers, is a one of a kind miracle in a jar.
Manuka honey is an amazing superfood, with multiple uses in home remedies and beauty regimens. People around the world are using it to calm everything from irritable tummies to acne. Plus it tastes delicious on a piece of toast or a biscuit, so you can’t go wrong giving someone you love a jar of this golden elixir.
It also gives you the perfect excuse to buy your lady the perfect little honey pot, like this Le Creuset Stoneware Honey Pot. Now it all makes sense.
Big girls love toys as much as grown boys, but if your lady hasn’t had any experience flying a drone, this is the perfect starter drone for her. It flies, flips, and does tons of tricks, plus it recharges fast with any USB device. One button lift-off and landing makes getting the hang of this little flier a snap. It’s easy to direct, and fun to play with.
Does your lady have difficulty relaxing? This naturally cooling and soothing eye pillow is a great way for her to kick back, enjoy a little aromatherapy and depuff her tired eyes. Made of 100 percent pure silk, this eye pillow can be worn comfortably on the couch or in bed, thanks to an adjustable elastic strap in back.
A muslin inner liner is filled with flax seeds and natural lavender blossoms. The scent of lavender is especially well known for its ability to create a calming effect. This comes with extra flax and lavender, so she can add to or refresh her pillow anytime. If it’s been an especially difficult day, this nifty kit also comes with a refrigerable eye mask too.
If warmth is what she needs most, perhaps a microwaveable flax pillow would be a better choice to soothe and ease aches and pains.
The perfect way to give your lady a little pampering is to give her some time, space and a few relaxing face masks, each tackling different skincare issues. This three mask set features a Dead Sea mineral mask, a charcoal mask and a clay mask, along with a cool silicone applicator that makes getting each product out of the jar so much less messy.
The charcoal mask absorbs dirt, oils and toxins, leaving her skin radiant. The clay mask literally draws impurities from her skin, clearing pores and making it more receptive to moisturizers and serums. The Dead Sea mineral mask can help naturally stimulate skin renewal and because those minerals are high in magnesium, they improve her skin’s elasticity.
Another fun gift would be the Aqua Gel Pore Refining face mask, which delivers intense hydration and leaves behind beautifully smooth and soft skin.
When you’re shopping for a golf fanatic, it’s tough to find the perfect present because golfers seem to have just about everything they need to play the game. That’s when it’s time to up the gift-giving ante and get them this Callaway Golf Range Finder. This handy gadget calculates yards to the hole, slope, and angle to help them dramatically improve their game.
Easy to use, it even has a vibration to let your golf fanatic know when the device has locked on the pin to ensure the calculations for their next shot are accurate. It features a strong magnet so it’s easily affixed to a golf cart, and it comes with a fitted hard carrying case with a carabiner so they can clip it to their bag when they’re done with play.
If your lady has more than her share of baubles, in fact so many she can’t possibly store them in a little dresser top jewelry box, this door mounted jewelry armoire is an unusual gift she’ll absolutely love. With one large ring cushion, a bracelet rod, two bottom drawers, five shelves, 32 necklace hooks, 48 stud earring holes, and 90 earring slots, this can keep her jewelry organized and safe.
Six LED lights make it easy to select exactly the right pieces, and a full length mirror on the outside gives her perfect perspective on her choice for the day. The cabinet locks, to keep her most precious possessions safe. Plus you can get it in white or brown, to best match her bedroom decor. If you think she’d rather have a free standing jewelry armoire that acts as a full length mirror as well, this model is an elegant and modern choice.
At some point in her life, every woman needs a fun hobby to keep her hands and head occupied. This gold panning kit from Gold Rush Nugget Bucket is a great gift to get your lady outdoors getting wet and dirty, which is very good for her soul. This kit was featured on Shark Tank, and with good reason.
It comes complete with everything she needs to capture that precious gold. Safe, eco-friendly and efficient, all the parts are made of durable, high-quality plastic, so the whole kit weighs in at only seven pounds. Plus it’s the only kit that offers a patented “fluid bed concentrator” design for quickly concentrating gold dust.
Be sure to get her a great sun hat to protect her eyes and her skin while she’s out making her fortune.
Don’t laugh, because this little light up armband means serious business when the lady on your gift list is out walking or running after dark. Powered with rechargeable li-ion battery, this light band quickly attaches to her arm and provides multiple settings for either blinking or solid light.
Because it’s water resistant, this armband is great for an evening paddle in her kayak, with enough lumens to be sure she’ll be seen at dusk if she’s coming back late. With eight hours of burn time when the light is kept solidly on, it can last up 18 hours flashing mode.
Another awesome outdoor gift idea for her is the Nathan Hammerhead Stainless Steel Water Bottle. This baby is more than a pretty face, keeping water icy cold for up to 35 hours and coffee, tea or hot toddies warm for up to 15 hours. I can vouch for the truth in that claim, because I’ve put these bottles through the paces after receiving some samples. They’re amazing!
Every woman needs to express her thoughts, but sometimes those thoughts come more easily when written in a personal journal. This beautiful journal is bound in natural buffalo leather, that features long leather straps that wrap around to secure it. It also includes a matching leather-bound pen. With hand-stitched pages and an internal pen holder, this will become one of her favorite places to write down special memories, daily dilemmas, and more.
With 300 pages to fill, she might need some suggestions if she’s never used a journal before. Depending on what she’d like to use her journal for, whether it’s to reach a goal, or just be fully expressed, there are many good books to help guide her way. You can find them here.
Why settle for plain old white solar lights in her yard, when you could give her these elegant beauties from Doingart. These come in a two-pack of eight lights each, exquisitely designed to mimic real lily flowers. They’re the perfect way to define pathways and bed borders, but will also add a beautiful evening look to any existing planted area. These lily lights change between seven different colors, so you have both the beauty of their shape and light, but the animation as they move between different colors.
For the woman who wants clinical-grade microdermabrasion treatments but wants them affordably and at home, the PMD Microderm Elite Pro offers the latest technology to give her professional results. In just 8-12 weeks, your lady could have significantly softer and healthier-looking skin.
This kit from PMD will give her a spa treatment at home, with caps and discs for both her face and her body. Once a week treatments can help to minimize wrinkles, reduce pore size, diminish dark spots, and improve her skin’s tone and texture, to reveal a younger complexion.
Because of the immense amount of exfoliation performed by this nifty little device, her favorite skincare products will absorb more deeply, delivering improved results. That means the investment she makes in serums and moisturizers will be even more valuable.
Anyone who loves to create in the kitchen needs a great set of tools to make magic happen, and these Cosmos kitchen knives are an unusual gift for her that will bring her dishes to life! While the gorgeously designed stainless steel blades might seem to be the star of the show, in reality, these have been honed with razor-sharp edges to make cutting efficient and safe as well.
The color-coded handles are ergonomically designed for a balanced, secure grip – and the individual edge colors make it simple for her to grab the knife she’s looking for. What’s really cool is you can also get these knives in different designs so if Cosmos isn’t her jam, perhaps Jurassic dinosaurs, Landscapes, or old-world Art Masterpieces would be more to her liking.
Tuned to the opening notes of Amazing Grace, one of America’s best-loved and widely known hymns, this gorgeous Woodstock wind chime will bring hours of delight to your lady’s garden or porch. Made of cherry-finished ash wood, six silver aluminum tubes create sweet sounds.
