Unusual Christmas Gift
Finding some unusual Christmas gifts for those you love is something of an art form. If you’re like me, you don’t like to buy boring things for people you care about. While clothes, jewelry, electronics, or steak knives are all great, they just aren’t very creative, are they? Finding unusual Christmas gifts is a great opportunity to show off your creative talents and get a real surprise from people.
One great unusual Christmas gift that I fall back on a lot is live animals. Most people would just say ‘pets’ but I’m saying live animals because traditional pets aren’t really all that creative either. A cat, dog, or hamster is certainly different, but isn’t what I would call a truly unusual Christmas gift. I’ve had some great reactions presenting loved ones with different amphibians and reptiles. Opening a box (with some well concealed air holes) to discover a live iguana is a sure fire way to get a priceless look on that special someone.
While the scaly critters are good, oversized insects are even better. One of the most unusual Christmas gifts I’ve given was a three-pound Brazilian beetle I affectionately named Bub (Big Ugly Bug). Oh how I wish I had a camera handy when my then girlfriend opened that lovingly wrapped box.
One of the most exciting gifts a person can give is a new car. Just the words ‘honey, come outside, I have something to show you’ can inspire a rapid heartbeat on a Christmas day, especially if said while dangling a pair of keys. Cars are great gifts, but are far from unusual. Playing on this instinctual excitement is a great way to get an inspired reaction from your true love. When I lead my last girlfriend outside to present her a brand new llama, explaining that the keys I’d dangled in front of her are for the chains binding it to the fence, it was truly a beautiful moment in our relationship. What better way to say “I love you forever” than with a flea ridden 6-foot tall quadruped that spits? As an alternative to llamas, donkeys and kangaroos also make good unusual Christmas gifts.
If live animals really aren’t your thing, consider dead ones. If you follow more vegetarian persuasions, you might consider a box of assorted fungi as an unusual Christmas gift for the one you care about. Also, broken glass, piles of mud, expired medicines, straw, and driftwood make great unusual Christmas gifts for those on a tighter budget, and are all sure to get you some adorable reactions.
