Christmas Gift Basket For The Holidays

I have a long wish list of presents, so it’s hard to whittle it down to the top ten Christmas gifts, but here goes. I have long wanted to learn to play the harmonica, I love blues music and that’s what I’d learn to play. I’d want the harmonica and tutor book set and I could sit on the sofa on Christmas Day and drive everyone mad. Web technology opens a world of possibilities. Digital imagery and graphics packages put power in your hands. Digital images can be screened on a mug, a Christmas ornament, Christmas card, or sent via email as a holiday greeting. There you have a Unique Christmas Gift.

Each person is unique, so if you think of what makes them tick, and what they love to do, finding a unique Christmas gift is not as hard as you may think. Many times, it is just a matter of finding something you know they don’t have, and then looking for the unusual. If you know a golfer, but can’t imagine buying them clubs, a unique Christmas gift for that person might be a golf bag in their favorite color that is monogrammed with their initials.

Another musical gift I’d like is a little, electric piano. It wouldn’t take up much room and I could tinkle away to my heart’s content. I’d also like the sheet music for the great jazz classics such as Herbie Hancock and Oscar Peterson. I suppose my top ten Gift Basket should include something more practical, so I’d ask for a new pair of Winter boots. I hate Winter and the only thing that keeps my sanity is a pair of warm feet in snug, furry boots.

You might also consider their personal interests when looking for a unique Christmas gift. If you know someone who is really into Elvis, look on eBay for a collector’s item that is in your price range. You might find the cook in your family a book from their favorite chef, and see if you can get it autographed for them. This might not be possible, but some people will autograph stuff if you mail it in and provide a post-paid return envelope or box.

Being practical still, a few woolly sweaters wouldn’t go amiss. I wouldn’t mind an electric blanket too. I always like to receive books for the Gift Giving Season. When the next Harry Potter book and DVD comes out, I definitely want them. A nice bottle of perfume under the tree would be most welcome. I don’t mind what brand, as long as it’s French! I know, I have expensive tastes.

There are things available online that you may have never imagined, and things that are sure to turn someone’s head. These sites are often found using search terms like “unique”, “strange”, or “weird”, along with the word “gift”. You never know what kind of unique Christmas gifts you might turn up.
