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.

What to get 16F who doesn’t like anything?

She’s not into makeup, skincare, hair, or nails. She doesn’t like to read. Her parents told me not to give her money or gift cards (she never spends them or she loses them). She doesn’t have any clear “aesthetic”, she’s a straight C student. So I really have no ideas on what to get her, her younger siblings are getting about $150 dollars worth of presents from me and I want to be somewhat even with how much I spend on her so it’s fair. Any ideas?

Gift Idea for my nephew

I hope you’re doing well everyone.

I am visiting my nephew in around 2 weeks time and I’m having difficulty finding a present for her. My nephew is a 3 year old Korean girl. She’s pretty physically active along with her older sister and her parents, always in and around the gym for swimming, yoga, and sorts of that matter. The family goes on frequent trips everywhere domestic and abroad. She’s recently been balding (doctors speculate it is due to stress), and because of that, you can find her always wearing a headwear in and out of her home.

Other than mentioned above, I don’t really know much about what she likes or what’s popular amongst 3 year old girls these days. I’m gratefully open to any gift suggestions that a college guy can afford.

Thanks for your time again.

Christmas present for my boyfriend

So I ordered the McLaren lego set for my boyfriend, he loves cars. I normally buy smaller gifts (like perfume, sweaters, car fragrances etc) and put them in a basket but this is the first time that I have gotten a big gift for anyone. I also created a book explaining my love for him with different bible passages (we’re both Orthodox and I thought it’d be cute since Christmas is about the birth of Christ, and in the book I describe with various bible passages, from Genesis especially, how our love was birthed). What do you guys think? Should I get extra gifts alongside the lego set or is one gift enough alongside the book I made?

secret Santa under $10?

I got a friend (16F), but I don’t know what she would like. She’s super smart, sorta girly, and I just have zero ideas on what to give her. Any ideas?

Gifting a candle of my fragrance to my girlfriend

As the title states, I am planning on gifting my girlfriend (long distance atm) plenty of things that she has asked for, but I also plan on gifting her a candle of one of my most worn fragrances which is by the fireplace of the replica line from Margiela. She has stated on multiple occasions that she really loves the scent on me. My issue is I know there’s like a negative stigma with gifting candles and maybe this gift is a little unthoughtful? Maybe I’m being to difficult on myself but I wanted others opinions. I think maybe since we are currently long distance she’ll appreciate having the scent as a candle to kind of remind her of me when I’m not around.

What do 11 and 12 year old girls like?

And 9 and 12 yesr old boys? Our local community centre always hosts a Christmas day lunch for people in the community who might be lonely or who are struggling financially. This year they are short of gifts for girls age 11 and 12 and boys aged 9 and 12.

What sort of things always go down well? I was thinking craft kits or nice journals for girls ...but what else? And what about boys?

Nice $60ish gift for Sikh cleaning crew?

Hi there. Where I work we have a great cleaning crew of 2 guys and a girl who have Sikh names, but don't wear turbans, so I assume they are not overtly religious. I know many Sikh can be vegetarian, so I won't be giving a charcuterie board or anything, but I would love some ideas for a gift/gift basket that could be shared between them. I don't think they are related, so something that could be split up for them to take home, or something that could be enjoyed while they work.

Edit: We are in Canada.

I have 0 clue what to get my stepmom, help!!

My stepmom has been in my life for almost 3 years. I’m 20, and my brother 17 and me are coming together to get a gift for her and I’m in charge. I don’t trust my dad’s judgement, because I asked what she would’ve wanted and he said “get her candy.” My stepmom is wonderful, and deserves a little more than a bag of candy. I’ll put down some things she likes and any comments with suggestions are appreciated!

• I have a half-brother, age 1 1/2, so in total there’s the 5 of us in my dad’s family

• She’s really into charcuterie boards and hosting girls night. However, she was gifted like 6 boards at their wedding so she doesn’t need another one

• Loves a good drink. I’m not of legal age to purchase any liquor though, and I don’t think she likes any of the fancy bar accessories

• In terms of decor and such, she is (unfortunately) a beige mom. There’s some color here and there but not much, and the house frankly doesn’t need any more decorations

• She already has her favorite blankets, robes, etc.. classic gifts that she already has/uses • Has enough purses/bags/wallets that she doesn’t need to be gifted anymore

I’m unsure what to get her, and my budget is roughly $50!

Gift Suggestions for Mom

So this is a bit of a tough situation. I’m a terrible gift giver. I don’t really give gifts a lot and I want to put actual effort into it this year. But I have a lot of family trauma. My sibling and I are queer and my parents are both bigoted against queer people. However, my parents have been putting a lot of work into respecting my boundaries and my identity and I want to show them that I love them. I don’t want to get my dad a gift, for reasons I won’t go into but it’s even more trauma, but I do want to get my mom a gift.

The problem is, I don’t know what would be meaningful to her besides me just visiting them. She’s insecure about her weight so I don’t want to get her snacks if it’ll be a trigger for her to hate herself. A few years back she watched a lot of videos about lions? And she likes music from the 70s. Other than that I just don’t know what to do. Please help if you can

Is this a weird gift for my boyfriends mom?

I’m very good at art so I was thinking about painting a picture of my boyfriend’s family home (where his mother still lives). Like a christmasy one with candelabras in the windows and snow.

I can’t decide if this is a nice, thoughtful gift or a strange one.

What would you think about receiving a gift similar ?

Would you gift Bitcoin?

I am working on a project that makes it easy to gift cryptocurrencies to friends and family for birthdays or other occasions. I’m creating NFC cards preloaded with a chosen amount of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, designed to be simple and user-friendly, even for people with no prior crypto experience.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this project. Would you consider it a good gift? Would you give cryptocurrencies to someone?

If you have a moment, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could fill out a short survey to help improve the project: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdemYOA0WQ6rjJvqpEXluBOTE6VU9UT05WUOSOQqGRiO8al9g/viewform?usp=dialog

Thank you so much for your feedback! 😊

Gift for boyfriend who just got a new job

My partner recently got a new corporate job, and I’m so excited for this new adventure for him. To show that, I’m thinking of getting him some sort of lunch box/lunch kit for him to take to work since he doesn’t have one (currently takes lunch in a plastic bag lol).

Does anyone have suggestions for a professional looking lunch box and/or lunch tupperware set that I could get him? He’s an outdoorsy person, so I wouldn’t mind it doubling as something he could take on hikes. It doesn’t need to be super classy, but I also don’t want it to make him look silly in the office.

thanks!!

Need gift ideas for my wife for our new home!

Gifts for my wife (25) to make our house more cozy/homely $250 budget

So my wife and I just bought our first house so it’s been a slow process of making it ours because we don’t have much.

This year I’m really lost what to get her, I like getting her things from the heart. Last year I made her a coffee table out of a slab of wood that she puts her plants on and her birthday I made a sign with our names.

I’m not saying I need to make anything but would just like ideas. She loves plants, likes to read, we like to cook some, she’s a home body. there any ideas I could get her for our home or just things in general?

Budget is up to $250

Affordable Stocking Stuffer and Gift Ideas for Older Kids

I’m looking for some affordable stocking stuffer and gift ideas for older kids (20M, 18M, and 12F).

Looking to spend about $20/stocking but it not just bring junk.

Looking to spend about $35-40/Santa gift.

Looking to spend about $35-40/kid for other gifts.

Basic interests: 20M: plays college lacrosse in a cold area in the north (lives in the south), has his own apartment and car

18M: graduating in the spring with plans to play college lacrosse, fan of Detroit Lions, has his own car

12F: loves typical “girlie” things like hair care and skincare, loves Judy Blue jeans, leggings, and hoodies

I’d like to make them a mix of practical and fun if possible, even with my tight budget this year.

Thank you for your suggestions!!

What gifts can I give to my gf?

My gf’s birthday is coming soon, and I want to give her a gift. But I don’t know what I could give. She like watching movies, listening music, body care. Can I buy a facial cream for her? Or any other suggestions? Can you sis and guys help me think of any gifts I can’t give so I can avoid them.

Gift Suggestions for Neices

I need gift ideas for my 4 and 6 year old nieces. Their parents stated no toys and they already have memberships to places like the zoo and aquarium. I was just going to give them money, but I was trying to think of something more fun that they could open on Christmas (since we will all be opening gifts). Any suggestions?

HIII!!! IM LOOKING FOR A GIFT FOR MY MUM

hi okay, so, this is my first post here and also my first time giving anyone a gift!

My mums birthday is in febuary and I know its abit early for this but I really do want to put alot of thought into it; it's also incase I don't have much time cause I'm on school holidays now.

Now the reason for this is because, I want to show my mum I love her, and two years ago I forgot when her birthday was. I know, sad. But next year, I'll be able to redeem myself :)

I do have quite a few things in mind however, theyre not anything that feels like gifts. A phone holder for her car for example. I really want to give her something cool instead of that; it can be an addition though, I wouldn't mind finding one.

She doesn't wear jewelries or accesories though, I was thinking a pair of shoes could maybe be fine too, for trips and activities. Or maybe clothes. I don't have too much money though.

I'm willing to give some information as long as they arent too personal, to anyone who's willing to help, thanks! 🤪🤪

and if theres anything missing then ill be sure to add, ive not made posts quite often. sorry.

bday gift for a 77-yr old coworker

hello everyone,

i was wondering if anyone has an idea of what to get my coworker who will be turning 77 yrs old (F) on dec.23. We share the same bday and it's kind of hard since our bday's fall around christmas time, but i wanted to get her a small gift since she works so hard and deserves it. i am only 19 and since i don't have any family members here, i don't know exactly what to shop for a person around that age. i do know that she loves to read and she loves doing arts & crafts in her freetime. i would really appreciate if someone shares gift ideas.
