subject: Unique Holiday Gift Ideas For The Family [print this page] When a gift giving holiday comes around we all want to make sure that we give our loved ones a gift that they will love for years and years. This year instead of buying the same old gifts you always buy your loved ones try some unique holiday gift ideas.
If you give one of the many unique gifts on the market your family will cherish the gift for years to come. If you want to give your parents a unique gift that they will love for many years you could have a quilt made from old family photographs. You can take your family photographs to a photo shop and have them put onto cloth pieces.
There are usually shops in big cities that will make the quilt and all you have to do is take in the photographs you want on the quilt. If you want to sew the quilt yourself you can just have the photographs put onto a piece of cloth. You can choose the type of cloth and how big you want the cloth and picture to be.
If you are looking for a unique holiday gift for your wife you could have a portrait of your children hand painted. If you do not have children you could take a photograph from your wedding day and have an artist paint that picture. A hand painted portrait is a lovely and unique gift.
When you shop for kids it is a little harder to find unique gift for them. When shopping for your teenage daughter a really great unique gift would be a hand crafted cedar chest. Most teenage girls like to have a place to put their important and personal belongings especially if it is a beautifully hand made cedar chest.
You can buy beautifully hand crafted chests online or anywhere that sales handmade wooden items. You can even have it personalized with her name or even a certain design if you want to. You could also use this same idea for a little boy but instead of getting a cedar chest you could buy a handmade personalized toy box.
Of course these are only a few unique holiday gift ideas. You can also try to think up your own unique gift ideas with just a little thought behind it. The great thing about unique gifts is how much thought goes into choosing them. If you have a hard time thinking of a good unique gift you can try looking on the internet for some ideas.
