I like unusual presents. They’re so much more fun than usual presents. Opening unusual presents is like tucking into a pie without knowing about its filling, or boarding a place whose destination remains unknown. You might love what you find, you might hate it. But regardless, it’s way more exciting than receiving a voucher or a CD. Plus, unusual gifts show that you’ve put some thought into it, so on that basis take a look at some of our suggestions…

St Andrews Golf Course Hickory Putter

If you’re having difficulties buying for a golf geek, this will solve all your problems. This classic hickory putter was particularly popular during the 1880s and consists of a maple head, hickory shaft and either a leather or suede grip. It’s completely handmade, finished in the St Andrews workshop and includes personalisation of up to 15 characters engraved on the shaft.

Personalised Classics

Unusual gifts, unique gifts, daft gifts – call them what you will, personalised classics will undoubtedly raise a smile, whether you’ve got them starring in Dracula, Treasure Island or Wuthering Heights. All in all, there are 12 masterpieces to pick from, with every one of them allowing you to change the names of six lead characters to those of your choice.

An Acre of Moon

Here’s an opportunity to own a piece of real estate on the moon. It’s absolutely for real, thanks to a loophole in The Outer Space Treaty of 1967 that was discovered by American, Dennis M. Hope. You’ll get an acre of our moon, along with a pack containing the lunar deed, sight map, the lunar constitution and Bill of Rights, and a Declaration of Ownership transcript.

Personalised Retro Sweets

Cola bottles, flying saucers, jelly beans – you name it and chances are you’ll find your retro sweet of choice in the collection of personalised sweet jars available online. There are all sorts of combinations available, with 1.8 and 4.5 litre jars to choose from, both of which feature your chosen name on the label. Or if you want to be really indulgent, you’ll even find a couple of hampers, too.

Personalised Beano Goodies

Unusual gifts don’t get more menacing than something from the personalised Beano range. An ideal match for youngsters and reminiscers alike, you’ll find birthday books, calendars, mugs and posters, all of which can be personalised with the chosen name so that they become ‘The Menace’.
