Unique gift ideas you might not have considered for a birthday

Birthdays are a lot of fun – until it comes time to buy a gift. When you’ve known someone for a while, you’ve probably bought them a few gifts already – so how do you avoid a repeat or cliche gift? By getting them something unique! 

The great thing about unique gifts is that they are sure to be a big surprise for your loved one! The problem is that because they’re unique, you might not have heard of them. 

So, to help you find the perfect birthday gift, here are our favourite unique gifts! 

Personalised Art

Art is very subjective, so as a result, people don’t often think to get it as a gift. After all, it’s better to play it safe when it comes to buying gifts right? Well, what if we told you there was a way to get a truly unique piece of art they’ll love? 

Through Alphabet Art, you can order a personalised piece of art that anyone will love! Each design incorporates your friend, family member, or partners name and is truly unique, so you know that they’ll enjoy it for years to come! 

Personalised Alchohol or Perfume

Alcohol and perfume/cologne are very popular gifts – but how can you add a personal touch? Well, there are companies that will allow you to craft your own scent or spirit that you can give someone on their birthday! 

You simply need to figure out which they’d prefer – a special drink or their own unique scent? Once you’ve made your decision, it’s time to head out and get creating. 

Plants 

If you know someone whose house could use some greenery, plants are an excellent gift! They brighten up any space, and act as living, breathing artwork. If you’re worried about their abilities to care for their new plant baby, there are plenty of durable options that anyone could keep alive! 

Subscription

What’s better than a single gift? A new gift that turns up every month! Today there are subscriptions available for almost anything – from beer to socks, and everything in between. 

Often these companies will offer gift subscriptions (such as 3 months) so you can hand the subscription over at some point. 

Experiences

What do you get for the person that has everything? Memories that they can look back on for years to come! We often get around to buying the things we really want, but sometimes the experiences we want to do often fall by the wayside. 

There are plenty of websites that sell tickets and vouchers for a variety of experiences, or you can always go directly to something you know they’ll love! 

A class

Many of us have something we want to learn; it could be a certain cooking style, a new language, or anything else! If you know someone who has expressed this desire, getting them a class will be the perfect birthday gift!
