3 Unique Gift Ideas for Your Family

If you’ve got a growing family then the chances are you’ll be thinking about what to get them as a present. Is there a birthday in the family coming up? Are you thinking about Christmas early? You don’t have to have a reason: you want to treat your family for being so lovely.

Either way, there are some unique gift ideas out there that can put a smile on their faces. Here are 3 present ideas for your family that are sure to impress. 

1. Family Album

One for an older family member, such as mom or grandma. You could arrange to have a family portrait taken at a studio or even a portrait drawn by a local artist. Maybe you have a photo lined up already. This is one of the best gifts you can buy.

There are plenty of options in terms of frames and sizes. You can even have smaller photographs blown up to a bigger size so that they fit a bigger frame.

Another new option to consider is an electronic photo album, one way in which millennials are reinventing the photo album. This is a digital screen that updates at regular intervals. You can upload the photos into the system as you would a computer and have the photos rotate at your leisure.  

2. Notebooks

Everybody loves a notebook in which to scrawl their innermost thoughts and ideas. And the better quality the paper and the more luxurious the cover the better. If you have a son or daughter who aspires to be a writer or journalist or they are creatively minded, this is the perfect gift for them. They are also a great gift for mother’s day. 

Be sure to consult them about what color would suit them and the size. If you buy them an A4 size notebook it might be too big for them to carry around but if you buy them one that is too small they might fill it up too quickly.  

3. Trophies

Trophies are the perfect way of rewarding your children for milestones they have achieved in their life, like learning to ride a bike or finishing 6th grade.

Some schools do not give out rewards for milestones if everybody in the class has passed them and there might be some achievements that your child’s school doesn’t consider a big deal but you know has been a particular milestone for your child.

Unique Gift Ideas for Family Members

If you have a family member that has passed a particular milestone or you know there is a birthday coming up then buying them a number of cool gifts are the perfect way of letting them know they feel valued within the family. You should consider getting them something they like or related to their favorite movies, books, etc. If they are a fan of a movie like Harry Potter, there are tons of Harry Potter gift ideas online that will help you out.

It is also a thoughtful and kind thing to do, generally. A family album can remind your older relatives of all of their family members on their mantlepiece and new technology means they can have several of their favorite photos in one digital album that keeps changing. 

Equally, a gift such as a trophy or a medal can be a really great way of rewarding younger family members such as your sons or daughters who can display it on the shelves in their bedroom.
