The Top 10 Unusual, Unique, and One of a Kind Christmas Gifts

Ranked #10,412 in Holidays & Celebrations, #154,777 overall

The Best Christmas Gift Guide Ever

This Christmas gift guide is an eclectic mix of unusual, unique, and one-of-a-kind Christmas gifts.

I have chosen these particular Christmas gifts because they are not the kind of thing that you can find just anywhere, nor would they necessarily be the first thing a sales clerk would suggest.

Some of them are made by hand, some of them are books on interesting topics, and some are found in out of the way places.

I have also given you links and leads to other places to look for interesting Christmas gifts for yourself, your acquaintances, and your loved ones.

As you browse this Christmas gift guide, imagine yourself stepping into the doorway of a quaint little shop just packed to the brim with gifts of all sizes and shapes just waiting to be wrapped up and taken home.

Go directly to shop for unusual products to enjoy life at Dazadi.
Have fun shopping!

Charles Dudley Warner (1829 - 1900), 'Eleventh Study,' Backlog Studies, 1873

For Fans of a Christmas Story

The Leg Lamp Makes a Perfect Gift

The Real House from A Christmas Story



The movie A Christmas Story has become a classic to many fans. In Cleveland, Ohio where I live, the Christmas Story House that the movie was filmed in is a HUGE attraction. But the absolute most favorite item from the movie is the Leg Lamp. This is a must for any serious A Christmas Story fan.

Not what we give,

TraderGirl says:

I would enjoy both. If I had the money, I would like to give gifts, things people would enjoy. If not, fix everyone a nice meal and enjoy their company.

susannaduffy says:

I like to give small inexpensive gifts to everyone. I buy little things during the year for end of year celebrations

Posted October 08, 2008

MarcoG says:

I love giving, but I don't like getting...if I get something, I'm so bad at pretending to like it, if I don't, so to save embarrasment I'd rather not get anything at all lol x

Posted October 08, 2008

Rya says:

I like both giving and getting gifts--I tend to obsess over figuring out that perfect gift for everyone on my list because I hate to think of anyone not feeling special on the holidays :)

I would rather receive gifts - I guess I am greedy - lol

The company is more important. Often this is the only chance to catch up face to face with family. Gifts are nice, but nothing compares to the company.

I'd love to just have all my kids together in my house! With everyone spread out all over the country, that would be my gift!

Actually, I'm in the middle. I like to give small, handmade gifts or food items and also relax and enjoy each others' company.

awelldressedbullet says:

When I was a wee one, the gifts were a big part of the holidays, now (that I am waaaay older) I rather enjoy sitting around with family and good friends

Posted October 08, 2008

BFuniv.com says:

The relationships are what counts. I tend to give gifts all year as I find something appropriate - I would just as soon skip a set time and token gifts.

Posted October 08, 2008

YourCover_Mama says:

Gifts are fun, but holiday gatherings are more about appreciating the family and friends around you, and spending wonderful time with them with food, fun, and laughter!

Posted October 08, 2008

ArtByLinda says:

I just love being with family and spending time. When I was a little girl I always looked forward more to the gifts, not it is the people I look forward to. Though it is exciting to give when you know you have something really special for someone you love!

Posted October 07, 2008

Margo_Arrowsmith says:

Too many gifts gets to be too much. A nice grab bag or something like that is the best.
