Get Personalized Unique Christmas Gifts at Your Budgets

Finding some unique Christmas gifts for those you love is something of an art form. If you are like me, you do not like to buy boring things for people whom you care about. While clothes, jewelry, electronics, Steak Knives or even Credit Card are all great, they just are not very creative as unique gifts, are they? Finding unique Christmas gifts is a great opportunity to show off your creative talents and get a real surprise from people.

One great unusual Christmas gift that I fall back on a lot is live animals. Most people would just say 'Pets' but I am saying live animals because traditional pets are not very creative either. A Cat, Dog, or Hamster is certainly different, but is not what I would call truly unusual Christmas gifts.

I have had some great reactions presenting loved ones with different amphibians and reptiles as my personalized gifts. Opening a box (with some well-concealed air holes) to discover a live Iguana is a sure fire way to get a priceless look on that special someone.

While the scaly critters are good, oversized insects are even better. One of the unique Christmas gifts I have given was a three-pound Brazilian Beetle I affectionately named Bub (Big Ugly Bug). Oh how I wish I had a camera handy when my ex-girlfriend opened that lovingly wrapped box. Though we are not getting together currently, but that scene is not going to be forgotten.

In addition, one of the most exciting gifts ideas a person can give may be a new Car. With the words "Honey, come outside, I have something to show you", can inspire a rapid heartbeat on a Christmas day or any other occasion, especially if saying those while dangling a pair of keys. Cars are great gifts, but are far from unique unusual gifts. Playing on this instinctual excitement is a great way to get an inspired reaction from your true love.

When I lead my last girlfriend outside to present her a brand new Llama, explaining that the keys I had dangled in front of her are for the chains binding it to the fence, it was truly a beautiful moment in our relationship. What better way to say "I love you forever" than with a flea ridden 6-foot tall quadruped that spits? As an alternative to Llamas, Donkeys and Kangaroos also make good unusual and personalized Christmas gifts.

If live animals really are not your cup of tea, consider dead ones if you follow more vegetarian persuasions, you might consider a box of assorted Fungi as one of those unique Christmas gifts for the one you care about. Also, if you prefer inexpensive or cheap gifts like broken glass, piles of mud, expired medicines, straw, and driftwood that should make great unusual homemade gifts for Christmas too, for those on tighter budgets. Yet are all sure to get you some adorable reactions with those "Homemade gifts".
