Unusual Christmas gifts are a pleasure to find as there's always someone difficult to buy for. Be it Grandad or a distant Aunt, the ideas below are timeless, priceless and easy to do. All you need do is plan ahead & buy now!
Name Frames
This is a great personal gift idea that can be given to all ages. Make a stencil of a name or word & place photographs behind each letter. Frame the finished collage and give to that relative you never see as a reminder of what you all look like!
There are a few places selling name frames which have been digitally cut and professionally framed if you want to give this gift a really quality look.
Lifecasting Kits
Create a replica of your hands & give to a loved one. A very unique gift idea & very cute if you do with children. Buy a casting kit now & create your casts ready to present the finished pieces for Christmas. Imagine giving this to a close relative if you have little ones you can cast. The detail is amazing & you are capturing a moment in time. Only trouble is you will probably want to keep the casts for yourself!
Fingerprint Jewellery
Take an impression of your fingerprint & have it put onto a piece of jewellery. With pieces to suit all tastes & budgets this is a lovely personalised Christmas gift which again works on many levels: husband to wife, cufflinks for Daddy from the kids, silver fingerprint key ring for Grandad, the list goes on.
Again there are many companies offering this service but you must order well in advance & check for quality & workmanship before you order.
A Christmas gift should be something you want to give & is received with genuine surprise & delight. The gift ideas above give you a chance to do this & to create memories at the same time. Enjoy your Christmas shopping!
