Yes, it’s gift guide time already! This year, Hanukkah starts on December 7, so if you’re shopping for Hanukkah, you need to start now. And even if you’re not shopping for Hanukkah, unique gift ideas take longer to make and ship!
This is why, as always, my first gift guide of the year is from Etsy. These gifts generally require customization of some kind, and that means they take longer.
Check out this amazing personalized gift guide by the folks at Etsy for even more unique gift ideas.

As I mentioned, I’ve made many gift guides for personalized or unique gift ideas before. Here are editions from past years:
Unique Gift Ideas for Parents
Parents are hard to shop for. And that’s true regardless of if yours are 40 or 60 or 80, unless they give you an explicit list. These gifts should help you shop for the parent who has everything! And if you’re shopping for adults who aren’t parents, skip on down to the miscellaneous section.
Golf Bag Tag – This holds golf tees!
Custom Line Drawing Couple Portrait
King of the Grill Cutting Board – There are 9 different designs to choose from, so you don’t have to go with “King of the Grill.” You could do “The Grillfather,” “[Name]’s Grill,” or something else.
Heated neck wrap and eye pillow
Custom Line Art Portrait from Photo
Unique Gift Ideas for Kids
While it’s easier to shop for kids who you are close to, if you have niblings – a gender-neutral term for the children of your siblings, or a larger group of nieces and nephews – you might not know what their specific interests are or you might not know what they’ll be into a few months from now. These are all cute ideas that can be used for all sorts of kids!

Unique Gift Ideas for Young Adults
I’m using “young adults” to describe teens to college-aged folks. If you know what their interests are, these would be great gift ideas.

Personalized Video Game Controller Stand
Personalized Your Name Custom Neon Sign – Great for teenagers, college dorm rooms, and aspiring streamers!
Custom Neon Sign – Same reasoning as above but another option.
Unique Gift Ideas for Families

Miscellaneous Gift Ideas
Okay, these are gift ideas for pet lovers, book lovers, plant parents, travel-lovers, and everyone in between.
Custom Pet Pillow – I actually bought this (from this seller) last year as a gift and had a great experience! The first photo I sent wasn’t high quality enough, and they contacted me quickly to get a new one. My nan loved it so much she nearly cried when I gave it to her.
Personalized Pet Ornament Using Pet’s Photo + Name
Custom pets portrait suncatcher decor – This is great because it’s not an ornament so the people you buy this for can use it year-round.
