A subreddit to share unique gift ideas with others.


Rules define a subreddit. So let's start with the 8 golden rules of this subreddit first.

RULES:

  • Make sure to submit unique gift ideas only. If it isn't unique it does not belong here.

  • Please flair your posts appropriately. AutoModerator already does quite a bit of automatic flairing, but it's not perfect, so please check that the flair is appropriate for your post.

  • Make sure to link to the product link directly if possible. Links from trustworthy sites like Amazon, Etsy, Ebay etc are preferred.

  • Due to this subreddit getting a lot of spam, if your account is very new and/or has very little karma, your submission/comment will be removed. If your post does get removed, you can send us a modmail and, if your post isn't spam and doesn't violate any other rules, we'll approve it.

  • No referral links without a warning in the comment or post title.

  • No ad hominem attacks or threats, including troll-feeding responses.

  • If you believe a post or comment is spam, breaks our rules, breaks reddit's rules, or is otherwise inappropriate, please click the "report" button and submit a report (with a reason, please).

  • If over 10% of your submissions and conversation are your own site/content/affiliate links, you're almost certainly a spammer. [1] [2] [3]

And that's it for now. More rules may be added here as the community grows depending on what you guys think is important. But the most important thing is to keep submitting unique gift ideas here and stay awesome.


How to tell whether the gift is unique?

I would say that if you think that the gift you found out is unique, it most probably is unique. If you submit it here, you'll find out.


Self posts asking for gift ideas are also allowed here.

Just mention "Looking for a gift for my 'xyz'" in the title and mention the things he/she likes the most plus other details like the occasion and/or budget in the description. We could have a discussion about it and find the most suitable and cutest gift for that 'xyz' of yours :)

We all love gifts, don't we?? :)


Please send us a modmail if your post gets stuck in the spamfilter. We receive at least 20+ spam posts everyday and it's hard to go through each submission.

Gift for someone who loved gardening and now has a balcony.

My MIL used to have an absolutely amazing flower garden, but has since bought a condo and has a modestly sized balcony. She also travels, so is away a little bit. Can any balcony gardeners out there suggest a unique or practical gift? Her flowers were still gorgeous last year, even without a yard. I’m not sure if climate matters, but we have extreme weather. Very hot summers and brutally cold winters. I believe she gets full sun. She is not a fan of clutter or ornaments. Thank you!

My boyfriend is about to be divorced. What should I get him?

I’ve been seeing this guy for around 9 months. We are getting serious as I moved in 3 weeks ago. He has been separated from his abusive wife for almost 3 years. In a few weeks, they are finally having their divorce hearing and I want to get him something to celebrate. I have no idea what to do!

He is in his late 30s. Any ideas would be fantastic.

Birthday gifts for a new dad from mom and baby

Looking for suggestions for a birthday gift for my spouse. We had a baby last summer and this is host first birthday as a dad. I need something from baby and from me. I have a couple small practical items already. We gave him a dad themed mug and baby board book at Christmas. I already have a daddy’s little buddy outfit for baby to wear that day. I did a photo ornament and desk calendar at Christmas too.

Gift for a friend that recently graduated med school, approximately $50

My friend recently finished med school and is having a graduation party in May. I'd like to bring a gift to the party but I'm not really sure what would make sense. For those who have gone to med school, is there anything you wish you would have had as you start residency? One idea I had was maybe going in on a gift card for Figs with three other people from my friend that are also attending the party. My budget is $50 or less.

Thanks in advance!

Music teacher gift ideas yeeee

Heyy so I needed help with a gift idea for my school music teacher, I get that I have ages yet since his birthday is September 6 but I thought it was worth it to get some ideas now! Don't wanna get anything big, I've only been at the school for about 7 moths ish, but Im not entirely sure what he's into and I just wanna show him I appreciate him since he's my favorite teacher. I think just something off amazon will do, but would love some nice, unique ideas too! Any ideas?

[UPDATE] yesterday was my boyfriend’s birthday!

Last week I posted here asking for help, since I had no idea what I could’ve done for him on his birthday. I genuinely appreciate the advice that you people have given me!

So what actually happened was I(F16) made some flowers out of paper, along with a small notebook that contained pictures of my favourite memories with him(M16 now M17). Later he came to my place, we made his cake together (made a huge mess in the process..) after we cleaned up and ate we headed to his place where I gave him the stuff I made, and he instantly started crying, so I just held his hand as he sobbed about how much he loved me(which meant a lot since something I neglected to share on my last post was that he had made an attempt a few months prior). After he calmed down we cuddled on his bed, talked a ton, and eventually fell asleep together.

Again I appreciate all the advice people have given me, honestly I wouldn’t have known what to do if it wasn’t for you guys. (Also I’m so sorry if my wording here is bad, I’m still super tired lmao)

What to give to a ballet teacher?

I'm in this ballet intensive and I know the teacher is buying all of us something by the end of it because he asked if we have any food allergy. I want to give something to him on the last day as well but not sure what should I give? Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

Gift for MIL who is going through it

All you need to know about my MIL is that she is an absolute saint who has devoted her life to her children, her daughters and sons in law, and her grandchildren. She ALWAYS puts others before herself and never complains because she truly enjoys helping other people. She’s the person who had a shitty child hood so she spent her life helping others to make sure no one else has to go through what she went through. And about 6 months ago, we found out my FIL has been cheating on my MIL for the last couple of years. Of course my MIL still loves him and wants to work on their marriage. She wanted to do counseling and was ready to work. But he moved out, moved back in, moved out, moved back in…. And now he officially wants a divorce. And… ready for it? Now she has breast cancer. My husband and I are flying out to be with her this weekend as she’s having surgery, so we’ll be there to help her, help with the dogs and just keep her company as my FIL will not be there. I want to gift her just a small something that she can be reminded about how much we love her after we leave/while she is recovering. She’s very sentimental, and as someone who isn’t great at sentimental gifts, I’m struggling to come up with something! She already has an Aura frame that she doesn’t really use because she likes the physical pictures, and she prints out every single picture we’ve ever sent her so a photo album of sorts is out of the question (even screen shots of Instagram posts lol). They are well off so any “gadget” she probably already owns. Thank you in advance 🤍

What Age Appropriate Gifts Should I Ask For?

My birthday is coming up, and I'm turning thirteen. Some things I asked for were earrings, nail polish, and EOS lip balm. My mom said that these were all beauty-orientated items and that she wanted me to have other things (along with saying that nail polish was bad for your nails). What are some age-appropriate items that will make my mom and I both happy? Thanks!

Dads 61st birthday

I hate asking this because I should know what to get my dad, especially given the context, but I’m stuck.

I absolutely adore my dad. He’s the best person ever to me. He is always there when I need him, nothing is too much to ask. He raised me on his own and I just cannot put into words how much I love him. He’s really saved my butt over the last few weeks too when I’ve started a new job and the training has been intense and plentiful, he’s showed up every morning at 7.30am to sit with my kids until he has to take them to school, occasionally picking them up from school and having my son for the day when he’s been off sick.

My dad and stepmum generally have a no gift rule when it comes to birthdays but I cannot, not get him anything. He loves music, especially pink Floyd, travelling, red wine, food. I just want to get him something special to show him he’s truly the bees knees.

Thank you so much

Help! What gift to get for doggie daycare going away/thank you?

Hi everyone!

TLDR; what should I get the BEST DOGGIE DAYCARE EVER as a going away/thank you present?

Okay now story/bragging time.

My girl has been going to a doggie daycare since 2019, and her last day is quickly approaching in May. Since we have been with them for so long, and they have been loyal to us, I would like to get them something or do something for them. They always work with me, and work her in if I ever need anything last minute. They have even offered to watch her alone when she has had a surgery on her eye! They are very accommodating, and their customer service towards me has been wonderful.

I started sending her when I got her my sophomore year of college, and now I am graduating with my masters degree. I literally wouldn't have been able to graduate from both and have my dog at the same time!

I know I am going to struggle A LOT without having them. My dog is selective. Since she has been there since she was a fully vaccinated puppy, she is used to the people and some dogs. I worry I will have to switch to a dog walker once I move.

All that being said, what should I get the BEST DOGGIE DAYCARE EVER as a going away/thank you present?

Gift for significant other

In a few weeks it will be my 1 year anniversary with my boyfriend. I want to get him something special that shows I pay attention to him and his interests but also shows that I love and value our relationship greatly. He has an affinity towards specific cars, photography, watches(and other clock like things), tennis, coffee, and the color teal. Of course there are so many other things he likes but those are just some off the top of my head.

BIL passed. Sister is 1000 miles away in rural area.

BIL just died yesterday. What can I get for 65 year old sister? I’d like to send a couple nice meals that are hot but she lives in an area without even pizza. (Not that I’d ever consider pizza.) Flowers are NOT her thing.

Gift idea for brother whom I hate but would like to get on better terms with and is really into motorcycles and whatnot?

And also really into the Chicago bears 👎I guess ugh

So far I’ve been looking at some neat boots on eBay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/364810413515?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tmvlakrrsm-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=tmvlakrrsm-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

And some stupid dumb Chicago bear 👎sneakers:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/364810730481?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=tmvlakrrsm-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=tmvlakrrsm-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I know he needs a new pair of boots and would prolly like some stupid awful Chicago bears👎 stuff, but I’m also curious if there are some better ideas out there. Open to the anything, really. As long as it is motorcycle related and/or has flames on it or the awful, awful Chicago bears 👎or something. Anything that bastard would adore.

Thank you.

Hilarious gifts to give at Masters Graduation

My friend is graduating for his Masters soon and a bunch of us friends are coming to support him. We want to be a little over the top(but within rules). I'll get more info about the rules later, but so far we have thought of the usual flower bouquet, money lei, a funny trophy. Anyone else have any good suggestions? We're not looking to publicly humiliate him or anything, but just something for a good laugh. He has a solid sense of humor. We'll be getting him real gifts too of course.
