As I sit on my porch swing thoughtfully pondering my Christmas gifts list, I notice the beautiful leaves that have begun falling from the trees. Each leaf is one-of-a-kind and unique, as are the snowflakes that will be falling soon. I begin to think about how truly unique each and every one of my gift recipients actually is. While it’s true, I could easily purchase simple neckties for all of the men on my list, buy the women matching handbags, and order generic dolls or action figures for the children I intend to buy for in order to quickly be done with my shopping altogether, somehow that idea just seems to “null and void” the whole meaning of Christmas. After all, the whole point of giving Christmas gifts is to demonstrate love and thoughtfulness, right? And what better way to do that than with unique Christmas gifts?
After so many years of creatively selecting the “perfect unique Christmas gift” for every individual on my list, however, I notice that the temptation to make things more simple and a little bit less personal has become very strong. I refuse to give in! I hold tight to my beliefs and dig deep inside my creative soul. After hours of deep thought, I still seemed to come up empty-handed, so I decided to consult with an expert in gift-giving- Mrs. Claus. With her help, I have discovered some fascinating unique Christmas gifts that will have those sleigh bells jingling again in no time.
