Christmas gift shopping is hard enough, without the added pressure of finding something 'unique' or 'different'. As tempting as it might be to shop their most-loved Jo Malone fragrance or a Kindle, we suggest thinking outside the box in order to truly impress the recipient with the best unique Christmas gifts that money can buy.

Now, before you start Googling 'skydiving courses', we should probably specify that 'unique' doesn't necessarily need to involve danger or adrenaline. Anything from a personalised AirPod case to a cowboy-shaped vase qualifies as a unique gift, without requiring anyone to jump out of a plane (we hope).

So, without further ado, here is our edit of the best unique gifts that they've most certainly never received before. Shop our top picks below.
