#Unique Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your 2020 list

#Unique Christmas gift ideas for everyone on your 2020 list

‘Tis the season for online shopping!

Not that you haven’t been all quarantine long, but now your retail habit has more of a productive purpose — checking things off the holiday list for everyone who has helped you survive 2020.

Giving gifts is a competitive sport for some, and searching for something unique can be a marathon of scrolling through gift guides and advertisements. Exhaustion sets in and your mom ends up with another pair of fuzzy socks and the kids get gift cards. If this sounds familiar, we’ve got you covered.

Below is a curated list for every member of your inner circle, from the grandparents, your significant other, and your boss and co-workers . . . Even if your co-worker is the cat right now. (We have something for them, too!)

For Mom

Personalized Hand-Written Letter Blanket, $160

Uncommon Goods

This is not an excuse to not call your mom!

However, this gift is a great way to immortalize an old letter or cherished card. Plus, it’s way more unique than running to the corner store for a greeting card.

“As our technologically advanced world moves us further from the art of letter writing, it’s comforting to know that Diane Scaman is keeping the power of the pen alive and well. Her loose-leaf-paper-styled, 100% cotton blankets create a cozy customizable medium for your messages of love,” said the product description on the Uncommon Goods website.

Customize this cozy throw with any message of your choosing, either from your attic archives or create a new message straight from the heart. The blanket is 100% cotton and measures 52 inches by 37 inches.

The Really Good Whisky Company

Pour one out for Dad . . . or pour 25, we won’t stop you.

Better than your average liquor store bottle buy, this calendar is perfect for your pops, and even better if you never know what kind he likes the best. The box from the Really Good Whisky Company delivers on its name, providing 30 ml of premium whisky in each of the 25 drams.

They come in a wide range of flavors and types, and to not spoil the surprise, we will just say they have everything from single malt scotch to Irish blended whiskies.

“Each day, a new whisky has been specially chosen to give a maximum workout to your taste buds and send you on a build up to Christmas on a whisky tasting frenzy! 25 x 30ml glass bottles of good quality and interesting whiskies, plenty of Cask Strengths, single malts, peaty pests, surely sherrieds (see what we did there?) hidden in numbered boxes complete with tasting notes for each dram — why wait?” said the product description.

Seasons come and go, but best friends are forever.

“Handcrafted in Colorado using reclaimed walnut once considered wastewood. Due to the unique nature of the wood, each woodblock will vary slightly and may include knots and unique markings,” read the site.
