The holidays are such a fun time with family time, fun traditions, and Christmas Gifts. But we all know that sometimes it can be hard to find Christmas gifts for everyone on our list.
I know we all have at least one (if not more) family member that it’s so hard to find a gift for. They may have so many interests or not enough interests, they have what feels like everything, or any number of other reasons make it difficult to shop for this person.
Well, today I wanted to share some fun and unique Christmas gift ideas to give loved ones this year. Some of these are gifts you can purchase on Amazon, others are from small shops and some are gifts that you can personalize and make custom for each person.
These unique gifts are some of the best gift ideas I have found and they really do span a variety of interests, ages, and price points.
So let’s get on to the best part of this post, the unique Christmas gift ideas!
Unique Ideas for Christmas Gifts
At first, I was thinking about breaking this list down by age, gender, or interest, but so many of the gift ideas work for several different categories, I decided to just put them all on the list in random order. They are all awesome gifts so make sure you check out the whole list.
Disney Storybook Collection Advent Calendars
Igloo books has some really fun advent calendars this year and when I saw the different themes I knew it would be so fun to do this advent with our kids.
Obviously, these advents make a great gift for kids, but they also make a fun gift for the whole family. (Think grandparents giving one to each family, giving them to a neighbor family, or a siblings family with multiple kids.)
The Disney Book Advent Calendars will give kids a new story to read each day leading up to Christmas. The nice thing is that you can get a different advent for each child or get one for the whole family and have the kids take turns opening the book each night.
Igloo Books has several different advent calendar options – each comes with 24 small Disney books wrapped and ready for kids to open as they count down to Christmas.
This year I chose to get the Disney Princess Story Book Collection Advent and the Disney Advent countdown. The Marvel: Storybook Collection Advent Calendar looks awesome if you have kids that are into Marvel.
Custome Guess Who Game
Did you ever play the game “Guess Who?” when you were growing up? Now you can take that classic Hasbro game and make it your own using family photos, photos from your favorite tv show, your favorite Disney characters, and more. Really the options of customizing this guess who game are pretty much limitless (unless of course, you can’t find any pictures).
The easy-to-use editable online template makes customizing the guess who game quick and easy. The hardest part is deciding which photos to use! So pick up a game of Guess Who and grab the editable template to make this unique gift for anyone (or everyone) on your list.
Stomp Racers
When Stop Rocket first came out in the 1990s my grandparents had them at their house and we had so much fun playing with them, that my grandparents still have them at their house for the great-grandkids to play with.
In the years since the first set came out, there have been multiple different sets released, with different rockets and even dueling sets.
We have had several different Stomp Rocket sets and my kids love playing with them so when I saw the Stomp Racers I knew they would be an awesome gift for my kids.
The Stomp Racers is an air-powered car for racing and jumping (with the included ramp). The kids jump or stomp on the stomp launcher to power the car to the finish line or to do tricks.
This toy is perfect for both indoor and outdoor fun. It requires no batteries and is a screen-free activity that kids and adults will both love.
Lovevery Toys
I was introduced to Lovevery toys earlier this year and I quickly fell in love with them and so did my kids. Lovevery toys are made for learning and stage-based play for children ages 0-4. The toys are made of natural materials that are good for your child and the planet.
The first Lovevery toy we got was the wooden blocks. The block set comes with so many fun and different shapes and so many different activity ideas. The blocks are played with on a daily basis by all of my kids (even my first grader still loves playing with them).
After our experience with the blocks, I got one of the play kits for my baby and the toys in that kit are a favorite. Now I want to swap out all the baby toys I have from my first two kids that never get played with for these awesome toys.
Our 1-year-old is getting the Lovevery Pull pup for Christmas and I know he is going to love it! I’m sure that with our one-year-old and a new baby on the way we will collect even more of the Lovevery toys over the next few years.
For gift-giving, you can pick one of the many fun playthings available in the shop or you can order one of the play kits designed with multiple toys and tons of activity ideas for specific ages.
Color My Cookie
If you have a kid or an adult that loves helping in the kitchen then you need to check out Color My Cookie. These cookie decorating kits are like nothing you have seen before.
Instead of coming with bags of icing and blank cookies, the kits come with pre-iced cookies and edible watercolors, and paintbrushes, sprinkles, icing, and fondant decorations for decorating the cookies. Plus an online tutorial that will help you decorate like a pro.
My kids were busy decorating their cookies for almost 2 hours. Instead of rushing through the decorating so they can get the cookies eaten, they had so much fun working on the details of each cookie.
There are a variety of different cookie kits for all different interests, holidays, and parties. These would be perfect for a kid’s birthday party, a fun weekend activity, or the holidays. You can even get a monthly subscription so you get new cookies to decorate each month.
We just decorated cookies yesterday and my kids are already asking when we are going to get more cookies. They haven’t even seen all of the other fun designs yet!
These cookies make a fun and unique gift that can be sent anywhere in the country. So even if you’re not close to your family you could have fun decorating cookies together through a video call.
Color Sorting Bears
Skoolzy Rainbow Counting Bears with Matching Sorting Cups are a fun and educational gift for preschool and Kindergarten age kids.
The bears are well made and in fun colors, kids will love playing with them, sorting them, counting them, and more. The set also comes with some fun scoop tongs that make picking up the bears extra fun and great for hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
Kids will have so much fun playing with this educational Rainbow counting bears set they won’t even realize they are learning. Even my first grader loves using the bears as manipulatives for his math lessons (even though he doesn’t need them).
Aura Photo Frame
The Aura Photo Frame is an awesome gift any time of the year. I personally think it’s the perfect gift for grandparents because it makes it so easy for family members to share photos with the grandparents who they might not see very often.
My great-grandma (who is in her 90’s) has an Aura Photo Frame and all of the extended family can add photos to the frame for her to see. She spends hours each day looking at the photos and it helps her feel connected even though she doesn’t do social media or see all the family very often.
Adding photos to the frame is quick and easy using an app on your phone, so no matter who you gift the frame too you can easily add the photos you want them to see.
Kiwi Crate
KiwiCo is a kids subscription company that has several different lines for different ages and interests. Each box comes with several hands-on activities to do with all the supplies you need. Plus ideas for additional activities you can do at home.
You can order creates month by month or you can get a subscription that will save you money. We got a 6-month subscription last year and my kids loved it. They were always watching for next month’s box to arrive.
For both of my older kids we got the Kiwi Crate, we just did one subscription and they helped each other build and had to share. As the kids get older I would love to try the other crates they offer.
If you decide to do one of the KiwiCo crates use my referral link to get $10 towards your subscription.
Personalized Go Fish
The personalized go fish game is easy to make using whatever photos you would like. Simply drag and drop the photos into the cards, print and cut and your unique gift is ready to go.
Don’t worry I have an editable template and step-by-step instructions for making the game fast and easy.
Adventure Challenge Book
The Adventure Challenge Books are a unique gift that looks so fun for families, couples, and friends.
The adventure challenge books are filled with scratch-off adventures. Read the details and decide which challenge you’re going to do. Once you scratch off the adventure you’re committed to completing it.
Check out all the fun different Adventure Challenge Books and pick the best one for those on your list.
