Greetings, holiday shoppers (and others)! It’s hard to believe, but it’s that time again. For years now, I have had great fun pulling together my annual gift guide, and this year is no different. I’ve been collecting ideas all year, and going through them this week, I had a wonderful time. No particular theme this year, just unusual items I think would be fun to give and to get. Hope you enjoy checking them out as much as I enjoyed compiling them.
As always, I am not compensated in any way for this post. These are just beautiful items I would love to give or get!

- Playable Piano Desk Calendar – great for budding musicians
- Self-Watering Orchid Pot – I’m getting one of these for myself!
- Ted Lasso Shortbread Biscuits – They even come in a pink box!

- Cryptid Construction Magnets – super fun for imaginative kids and adults
- Stemless Wine Glass Chiller – amazing gift for wine drinkers (they also make a version for stemmed glasses)

- Wooden Guitar-Shaped Pick Box – for the guitar enthusiasts in your life
- Created Sapphire & Diamond Ring – I ordered a set from this website and the quality blew my mind. Yes, it’s fake, but it’s good fake

- Mason Jar Cocktail Shaker – we bought one for ourselves, and it’s the first cocktail shaker I’ve ever owned that does not leak
- Personalized Song-Playing Fridge Magnet – awesome way to give someone their favorite song

- Fun with Kirk & Spock – perfect for the Trekkie in your life
- Magnetic Wine Glass Gems – I got these for my birthday and I am obsessed!

- 30-Second Dance Party – I would have loved having one of these when I was working on group projects after hours. It would have been a great morale booster!
- Reusable Sandwich Bags – a great office white elephant gift!

- Pewter Leather Clutch – I have these in a few colors, and they’re really handsome and practical!
- Garlic Grater & Spoon Rest – beautiful and practical
- Window Bird Feeder – the cat would LOVE this!
Happy hunting, all!

You’ve compiled a fun and diverse collection of gift ideas. You’ve also made me realize that I really need to get on with at least making lists of gift ideas. I am off work tomorrow (building is a polling station) so you’ve inspired me to spend some time pootling around Etsy for ideas.

Fun! Much more fun than doom scrolling, which is what I’m doing…

The ravioli spoon rest would be perfect for my Italian daughter-in-law! I’ll be watching for when it’s back in stock. I love the carousel as well. ::Looks around for a child or baby::

I just saw the family to whom I gave the carousel last year. They’re still raving about it.
