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!
