8 Unique Gift Ideas

I love receiving unique gifts.  The weirder the gift the better. My favorite stores to shop are the little boutique stores with funny gifts (Not Spencers!!) Fun gifts are fun to give! They make people smile, and they start a conversation. Here are eight unique gifts to give this year!

Foodie Dice

I love this idea!  This Includes 5 primary dice (protein, cooking method, grain/carb, herb, bonus ingredient) and 4 seasonal veggie dice
• Vegetarian & vegan-friendly — the protein die includes both meat and vegetarian options on each side, so you can choose which to use

Roll the dice and create a meal! I can never decide on what to cook! This is a handmade item! Two Tumbleweeds rocked it!

I am carrying on the dice idea with the Mixology Dice by Two Tumbleweeds. This item contains:

  • Eight laser engraved birch wood dice (spirit, sugar, liqueur, citrus, fruit, herb, spice, and bitters) that provide inspiration for creating hand-crafted cocktails made with fresh ingredients.


Roll the dice and mix the perfect drink. Each dice are numbered so you can follow instructions!

I am still continuing with the same theme. You can’t go wrong with food and drinks. The Carry on Cocktail Kit Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, Gin and Tonic – 3 PACK Holiday Set – 1 Carry on Cocktail Kit Old Fashioned – 1 Carry on Cocktail Moscow Mule – 1 Carry on Cocktail Gin and Tonic

The carry on cocktail kit!!!! What! This item comes in a set of three: Moscow Mule, Gin and Tonic, and One Old Fashioned. Each kit can make up to two drinks. Kits come with everything you need to make a drink except for the alcohol. Purchase your alcohol in flight and leave the rest up to you! The best thing is…it’s TSA approved!! This is a great stocking stuffer!

Put all your drinks in this  Corkcicle Whiskey Wedge

This item helps keep your drink chilled, but won’t water down.

I am continuing on with the drink theme, but I’m changing it up a little…Bourbon Whiskey Barrel Aged Coffee

This makes my mouth water just thinking about it!

I’m slightly addicted to coffee! I never drank coffee until I became a nurse, now I live off it. This coffee makes me want to cuddle up on the couch next to a fire. Yummm!!

Okay, Y’all, I am finally moving on from the drinks! Who loves candles? I have to pick up every candle I see and smell it. I have candle tunnel vision. Somehow, my eyes zone in on them in the store. This is a cute idea for loved ones that have moved away. I traveled a lot and I always wanted something that reminded me of home. These Homesick Scented Candles are a great way to be close to home. They are available for each state. 

I’m really excited about this Dinosaur Shape Cell Phone Mount

It comes in many dinosaur shapes and colors. I do not have a tv in my bedroom and even if I did, I use my phone all the time to watch movies and videos. Sit it on your bedside table to charge your phone, watch movies, facetime etc. LOVE IT.
