Is there’s no one quite like [insert gift recipient’s name here]? While they’re sure to appreciate whatever you choose to get them, it’s time to think outside the box. Instead, peruse this lineup of unique gifts to really make an impression on your family and friends during the holidays.
But how do we define “unique”? Some of these amazing gift ideas are specialized for particular audiences and interests, like the handy golf ball retriever for the golf enthusiast or a jigsaw puzzle that also doubles as a murder mystery game. Others are modern takes on classic favorites, such as the floating backpack cooler or pocket blanket for the outdoorsy folks. For the homebodies, they can keep cozy all winter long with a comforter-inspired robe or a tabletop fire and s’mores kit.
As Yahoo’s gifting editor, I’ve scoured high and low to identify out-of-the-box gift ideas that you likely haven’t stumbled upon before. Even the pickiest person on your gift list — ahem, your mom or dad — will be thrilled with these discoveries.
