As the holidays approach, time is running out to land those gifts that are personal, memorable, and show appreciation. Sometimes the toughest thing about those unique gifts is… figuring out what they could be in the first place. These are five extra-special gifts you can grab this season that’ll help you stand out.

 

Reusable bags that have cool patterns or pictures make great gifts, especially if the person lives in a state where stores are required by law to charge for disposable bags.

 

Handy, small gadgets such as a pocket screwdriver or a survival credit card are universal tools. Many people receive little knick knacks such as coffee mugs or calendars, so why not go the extra mile and give something that will truly come in handy?

 

Treats are the fastest way to people’s hearts. Delicious items such as Earthquake Cookies are easy to share, while you can also impress a coffee drinker with a Coffee of the Month Club membership.

 

Experiential gifts are a unique way to show appreciation. Tours, cooking classes, and tastings give people an actual experience, where they can create lifelong memories.

 

Personalized gifts show that you pay attention to individuality. You can add personalized messages with gifts like engraved photo frames and cookie jars (which make excellent storage for those treats). Heartfelt words are sometimes the greatest gift of all.
