Kareni Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Every so often, I like to start a thread like this; here's the one from last year: Have you encountered a unique gift? Post it here. Today I encountered this: 2017 Bubble Wrap Calendar - A Poster Sized Wall Calendar with a Bubble to Pop Everyday What out of the ordinary items have you spotted that might make a good gift?

Kareni Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Bismuth jewelry (isn't this made by a boardie?) Lots of neat things. The bismuth jewelry is stunning. I got my son M&M socks on etsy. I found this link and wonder if it's the place you found. The socks look good enough to eat!

MercyA Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 The Girls Mom (or something like that) made an absolutely stunning felted Dobby. I wanted him!! Yes! I found her shop, but since it contains her real name, I'm not sure if she'd want me to post the link. Her work is amazing!! We really need a thread on which WTM Etsy artists can post their shops.

creekmom Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 All handmade: Bismuth jewelry (isn't this made by a boardie?) Yes! My husband was helping our son make a periodic table of all the elements for a science project, and when they found out that bismuth could levitate a magnet, they bought a block of it (the "maglevs" he creates are also on Etsy). After a lot of experimenting, he started growing the crystals for jewelry (he's an art teacher who also LOVES science). Thank you for posting the link! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 This artist does gorgeous ceramic work. Jewelry, mugs, plates, and decorative pieces.

MSNative Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I don't know if this qualifies as unique but this year I'm trying to buy only from companies that donate to good causes: https://bombas.com I love the Bee Better socks. Such a cute reminder each day to be better plus they donate socks to homeless vets. Great company story on their site. My boys are getting some of these...ok I'm getting some for me too. Www.youniquefoundation.org This organization is dear to me. Three of my friends have gone to the retreat for sexual abuse survivors. They have nothing but incredible things to say about the help they got there and that they continue to get. I like their products too so the ladies on my list will be getting makeup or skincare from that company. Ok not do good but I think I'll have to get this https://www.amazon.com/Womens-Chemistry-Science-T-shirt-Planck/dp/B01EUA81KG/ref=sr_1_82?ie=UTF8&qid=1479062457&sr=8-82&keywords=Nerdy+t+shirts 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Tick Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 (edited) I find this thread invaluable for my brother and his family whom I barely know. Also for my dad who has no hobbies and drinks only water, o.j. and milk (bubble wrap calendar on order for office). Sadly, I couldn't find a place to purchase the Extravagant Light Switch, so it will go on my "Pie in the Sky" wishlist along with the Trotify from last year. This year I'm considering a shirt like this for my aforementioned brother. Edited November 22, 2016 by SusanC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
