Creative Christmas gift ideas can be hard to come by, whether you’re shopping for a new girlfriend or an uncle who has everything. It seems like department stores carry the “same ol’ same ol’”, and there are few options that would make your present stand out from the crowd. The good news is that you can find original gifts—as long as you know where to look. Here are creative Christmas gift ideas you can count on to deliver smiles Christmas morning.
Make Merry with Custom Music
Do you remember mix tapes? Way back in the….well…let’s just say way back, when you wanted to give a unique gift, you created a cassette tape made up of a collection of songs that reminded you of that person.
I Got You a Song is way better than a mix tape. One of the most creative Christmas gift ideas I’ve found this year, it allows you to custom order a song for your special someone. Simply fill out the company’s online form with a description of what you’d like the song to be about. Musician Cole will write a 2- to 3-minute song based on that description. When the song is completed, you’ll receive an email with a link to a YouTube video of Cole performing the piece with an acoustic guitar. Then, share the video with family and friends.
As if a custom song isn’t cool enough, the price is even cooler. Packages start at only $14.99, and I Got You a Song also offers upgrade options, such as choice of instrument or song genre.
The possibilities for giving this gift are endless. Order a song for your long-time love or a tune for your childhood best pal. The website features plenty of example videos, so you can check out the service before ordering.
Dedicate a Date
No matter who is on your holiday shopping list, chances are that person has enjoyed moments that stay in his or her heart for a lifetime. That makes My Day Registry one of the creative Christmas gift ideas your loved one will talk about long after the holiday decorations are packed away.
When you dedicate a special date with My Day Registry, it’s recorded in their international database. That day then belongs exclusively to the person being honored. He or she will receive a customized framed parchment certificate verifying their ownership of that date.
With registration, the special person will also receive a shareable online profile you can use to upload pictures, video, and music to remember the milestone or event. For example, if you’re giving a My Day Registry package to a newly married couple, use the profile to share images and memories of their wedding day.
Etch This Christmas into Their Heart
The idea of giving glassware as a gift might strike a ho-hum ring for those with a more modern style. But the glassware from BeEtchy Glass is definitely not ho-hum; in fact, it’s more along the lines of Ho! Ho! Ho! The store offers a collection of fun glassware, from votives etched with a funky skull design to a customized “lovers” glass coffee mug set.
BeEtchy also offers a custom service that allows you to add a personal touch to the glassware. For example, give your favorite football fan a 23-ounce football-shaped mug personalized with a name, team logo, or number. The design can be etched or applied in full color. This custom holiday present is the perfect idea for the football fan in your life, whether she’s passionate about the local high school team or he’s wild about the pros.
