It is incredibly easy to choose a suitable present for a baby or small child. After all, these little people have not been around long enough to have collected that many material things. Everything thrills and amazes them as everything still has a novel quality to it. We have all seen a toddler eagerly rip off the gift wrapping, take the gift out of the box, then totally ignore the item and focus instead on the fascinating cardboard box for hours. It makes you wonder why you bothered at all. You should have gone to your local greengrocer and asked for the biggest box they have and gift wrapped that instead. But when it comes to buying something original for someone older, it is a matter of finding unusual gifts that the recipient has neither already got nor seen before. That way you can avoid giving a disappointingly predictable present that will not be appreciated or used.

Receiving unusual gifts means that the excitement, created by the unknown package in your hands, is perpetuated beyond the unwrapping stage, when the false jollity and fake pleasure so often creep in. You do not want your present to end up in the ...
... back of the wardrobe, and so what is called for are some truly unusual gift ideas. Whether the celebration is a wedding, anniversary, retirement, birthday or other important occasion it is wonderful to be able to give unusual gifts safe in the knowledge that they will go down well.

Consider the pleasure that someone will get from a personalised poster. Unusual gifts like this can be selected according to the interests and personalities of the recipient. For those who like to indulge in a little chocolate every now and then, a chocolate pudding print can be personalised with their name displayed on a scrumptious chocolate treat without any calorific intake at all, or maybe a chocolate sauce print may not make their stomach rumble quite as much. There are some stunning prints of hunks and hunkinesses to brighten any wall, like the personalised Dog Tags print displaying a perfect male chest and personalised dog tags or Shower Scene print with a touch more than just the perfect chest, guaranteed to heat up any girl's room. The guys will more than appreciate unusual gift ideas such as the personalised Steam Room print which will certainly raise their temperature or a Tattooed Woman poster with his name tattooed onto her curves. For the kids there is even an oh-so-cute Hamster print with their name spelt out in grain. Unusual gifts like these are so unpredictable and will be stuck up on a wall in a heartbeat. There are so many unusual gift ideas for personalised prints including sports, food, romantic, stunning beach and landscape scenes and hobby related themes as well.

You would not call a diary unpredictable or an unusual gift idea, but with a personalised A5 diary a new and unique angle is instantly added to your present. Depending on what occasion is being celebrated and what the recipient means to you there are unusual gift ideas that are appropriate for all, from romantic diaries to humorous and sports diaries, each one with 12 lovely images personalised with someone's name. The Dog Lovers diary could even have the name of a pet displayed instead of the owner's name for a really unusual gift. The Super Dad personalised diary is both witty and poignant and guaranteed to make any dad feel proud, emotional and amused at the same time. These unusual gifts include a useful year planner and can start at any month you choose, so they are not restricted to being given only at the beginning of the year. Everyone can find a good use for a diary, and these unusual gifts are bound to be gratefully received by all.

For the ultimate in unusual gifts beyond the realms of predictability, look no further than an Ice Climbing experience. There are not many people who can say that they have been given one of these unusual gifts, and if this is an anniversary or wedding gift you can indulge the happy couple in an Ice Climbing experience for 2. Let them feel the thrill of the adrenalin rush with this unusual gift that is slightly scary, as they climb an indoor ice wall under careful supervision and excellent safety conditions. Your more adventurous friends will love to get unusual gifts such as this one and can discover just how exciting a new challenge like this feels. Who knows, maybe the next holiday they book could be to a snowy resort to continue a new found interest.

With so many unusual gifts available, all it takes is a little imagination and then it is a matter of pairing up the right present with the right person, to keep them guessing as to what is inside the wrapping.
