While I have already posted my Christmas Gift Guide I often like to look out for more unique gifts for the festive period. Especially since it is secret Santa time in the office again, and keeping to a tight budget can be tricky!

This year I have discovered UncommonGoods, which have an assortment of great items to tickle your fancy! UncommonGoods were founded in 1999 so have a long history of bringing unique gifts to your home. Not only have they been around for a long time but they also donate $1 to a non-profit of your choice for every purchase you make. This is such a sweet idea and means your gift keeps giving!

Christmas Gifts For Her

Unicorn & Rainbow Stamp Kit

It may be a little cliche, but some of the girls around the office who I may have to purchase a secret Santa for really love unicorns! So now they can go crazy and stamp all their work with this great ink and stamp set! With a reasonable price tag of $12 it is well within the budget!

Seed Money

Another option is this cheeky little gift, the ladies around work seem to like to spend their money, always out shopping. So what better way for them to get something back than grow their own “money”, simply plant the coins and watch them grow into something marvelous! On budget again at $12.50.

Christmas Gifts For Him

Bike Chain Bottle Opener

A few of the guys around the office love to cycle, so a novel gift for them is a Bike Chain bottle opener. A good talking point for them and a practical gift at the same time, running within budget at $10.

Pizza Cutting Protractor

It always seems to be left to me to cut the pizza in our house, so I am pretty sure it could be the same for my fellow co-workers. With everyone usually chipping in the slices are uneven, making for some uncomfortable debates. This handy tool not only serves to cut but also confirm that all is in order with the slice distribution. Priced reasonably at $13.49.

All year around gifts to give

Well as I have my Birthday in December, all the giving seems to occur at once. I need to make it known to the Mrs and the boys what I really want. So I thought it only appropriate to give a couple of not so subtle hints here:

Beeropoly

This certainly is one way to start a party, I love board games. So what better present than to mix board games with drinking games! Be prepared to have to lose some of you inhibitions as you show off your best dance moves or attempt rhyming challenges. Priced at $35 I am surely worth that right?

The Chef’s Portable Multi-Tool

So I am the Chef in the house, and regardless of where we are it is still expected of me. So I am not sure if this is personally a gift for me or actually for the family, but being ever ready with a list of tools at my disposal. For the humble price of $32, I am sure I could have saved this amount in wasted apples that the boys would not eat as there was a blemish on the skin!
