Gifts are often meant to show that you’re thinking of someone. But finding a special something for an especially unique person isn’t always easy. The occasion and relationship, the recipient’s tastes, and their interests or experiences can all inform what type of unique gifts to get them. Then there are factors like price, availability and cultural or religious preferences.

Luckily, some tools help us sort things out. You can use our Gift Finder and Etsy’s Gift Mode to find the perfect match for someone on your list with just a few simple questions. And there’s nothing wrong with a good ol’ personal touch either.

For example, a customized initial embosser can add a thoughtful touch to a book collection. Or you could pick up a fun card deck for the card shark in your life. A colorful Montessori kit is perfect for a family-friendly friend or even a child-development expert who wants to add an educational element to their home.

Rarity and Uniqueness

One-of-a-kind finds are easy to find at World Market, a one-stop shop for handmade goods from around the globe. Give a foodie friend a Japanese sake set and noodle bowls or specialty bakeware for their kitchen. Or get a nature-loving pal this ready-to-bloom yuzu tree they can grow at home or a cozy waterproof butt blanket for their outdoor adventures. If they’re neat freaks, a splashy multitool can streamline their Allan keys and wrenches into one handy gadget.
