There are certain times in life when big gifts are warranted. Graduations, promotions, weddings, new homes, milestone birthdays… events that should be acknowledged with a gift that goes above and beyond the regular Christmas sweater. For the person who has everything, you need to find unusual gifts & unique gifts. But that doesn’t mean you necessarily have to spend an arm and leg; unusual gifts can be found in every price range – from expensive to affordable.
Think Outside The Box: Planes, Games and Wines
Over the top would be the only way to describe this first gift idea, and in more ways than one. For the person who has everything, what could be more unexpected than signing them up for a zero g plane ride?
If you’re willing to put down the cash for this gift, which will typically run around $4000 (plus airfare to one of their departure locations), the recipient will be floating on cloud 9, literally. By ascending and descending at steep angles, the customized 727 airplane simulates what it actually feels like to be weightless in outer space. This has got to be one of the most outrageous, expensive over-the-top gifts to consider for your friends, and nobody is going to top this experience anytime soon.
Obviously $4000 isn’t for everyone; most people aren’t going to spend that kind of cash on themselves, and probably not on gifts for friends. The next unique gift idea may still not be considered cheap, but in the range of a few hundred dollars, it will add to the ambiance of any DC apartments quite nicely. It is a classic arcade game, such as the ones you might find in movie theaters and bowling alleys. Many of these games are available online and through specialty stores. Some of the less popular ones can be had for a bargain price. Shop around and you can find a great deal.
Wine gifts are good options for those looking to tap a unique gift idea but also need to be budget conscious. Consider enrolling the gift recipient in a wine club or enrolling them as a member of a local winery. This is a gift that keeps on giving all year round.
Put down for the minimum case requirement (usually set per quarter) and the recipient of the membership will get a new case of wine delivered to their home four times a year. Still too steep in price? Pick out a tasteful, handpicked assortment of local and regional wine and give it to them in a case. It’s more the thought that makes wine gifts special and best of all they can be enjoyed by both the giver and the recipient.
