Unique (and even weird) gift ideas that your friends and loved ones will actually want!
Weird is another word for unique, right? Sometimes my mind just goes blank when I need to think of a fun, unique gift for someone. That is why I love gift guides to help get the wheels turning when I’m feeling stumped. And every once in awhile, we want to give a gift that is truly unique, new, and something that maybe no one else has thought of before. So today I bring you a gift guide: Weird Gift Ideas You Never Thought of Giving (But Should Have!). I think these gifts will get you thinking about something different to give your special someone for birthdays, Mother’s Day, Christmas, or even just because. Enjoy!

Stylish Gold Pinky Rings
Everyone is loving the pink rings right now, especially the stackable pinky rings, but don’t forget that they make unique and stylish gift that others may not be thinking of. And how can your recipient not love getting a thoughtful little ring!
Coin Pouch Purse Clasp Wallet
I haven’t had one of these clasp closure purses since I was a kid, but I’m thinking that they would be great now for holding earbuds, chapstick, ID cards, USB drives, and keys. So much more than coins, my friends. These ones are cute too and I’m finding there are tons of coin purse choices like these on Amazon.
The Giving Plate
What better gift to give a family than this plate piled high with homemade goodies. I love that this plate encourages MORE giving and sharing the love.
Custom Maps or House Prints
This is something I have never thought of, but I think it’s a clever idea. Create a custom map to celebrate a certain place that has meaning in your relationship. Minted.com has many options. They also have custom silhouettes, custom poem or wedding vow art, custom child-art, and custom house art (get a beautiful framed picture of your childhood home!).

Portable Hammock
Everyone should have a hammock. That’s just how it is. Hammocks are wonderful for relaxing and soaking up the goodness of the outdoors. This particular hammock is portable and easily packable in its carrying bag. It’s lightweight and for single or double.
Never Forget I Love You CoolDream Animal Style Pillow Cover
It’s a little random, I know, but how can the person you care about not love this sweet sentiment. I love the idea of having a daily reminder in my home, that someone is loved.

Badger Balm – Badger Foot Balm
This is just one of many Badger Balms out there. Certified organic and supposedly awesome for your cracked summer feet. Lots of rave reviews about this stuff. Who knew? This is one of those where I say, we shouldn’t knock it till we try it!

Wild Republic Huggers
Stuffed animal + a slap bracelet = HUGGERS. I think this is a clever idea and one that my own daughter would love. They have TONS of different animals and they can hang on you and give you a hug or attach them to backpacks and railings. Fun to collect and they are super affordable too.

Non-Stick Rolling Pin and Other Kitchen Tools and Utensils

Mini Screwdriver Toolset Keychain
You know you’ll wish you had this the next time you gotta change the batteries. I hate searching for a screwdriver when I’m in a pinch. This is so practical and useful for everyone and makes a simple, low cost gift.
Folding Portable Picnic Table
This is awesome. You can’t underestimate the value of a table when tailgating, camping, or just hanging in the backyard. The picnic table folds up into a carrying case for easy traveling. It’s made to be sturdy and waterproof and to me it seems perfect for playing card games in the outdoors.
Doll Hipster
These are just cute. Little doll carriers for your little one to be just like mama.
Waterproof Pet Seat Cover for Vehicles
This is a no-brainer gift for pet lovers. I know when we had our golden retriever, keeping the car clean was hard with all the hair (let alone the doo-doo). Every dog owner could use one of these for sure.

Uncle Denny’s Dark Fudge from The Prepared Pantry
When in doubt, give chocolate . . . like this random gourmet fudge. Or give some other delicious gourmet food–like Strawberry Rhubarb Honey?
Batman Knee High Cape Socks
Ok. Here’s the last one. I had to throw this in for fun. I’m not sure it’s a gift you SHOULD give, but it sure does cause a chuckle, doesn’t it? You know you secretly want them . . . .
