Have you every wondered what present to buy for the person who seems to have everything? Have you every had the problem of trying to find a unique gift for a loved one? Are you continually stuck on what gift to purchase for a special friends birthday?
This is something I always come up against and continually struggle to find something different, unique or unusual to give as a gift to my family and friends. You would think that in this world of the internet its easy but we are continually restricted to the same old big name corporations that hog the search rankings making it difficult for people with great ideas to get their products out there. Well try looking further afield from mainstream shopping channels - there is never anything unique on Amazon, Argos etc. - there is a mass of individuals creating unusual and unique gifts that sit underneath this mainstream that you have to unearth. Try thinking recycled or handmade because this will provide you with a truly incredible range of products that will make you go wow!!! I will investigate some of the ranges available below so you can see the wide collection of gifts that are available - from hand painted wine glasses to recycled bottle clocks and handmade silver jewellery to recycled biscuit tin necklaces!!
Lets start with recycled beer, wine and spirit bottles - there is a massive pub and restaurant trade that generates millions of these bottles that can we recycled through the recycling scheme but some talented designers in the UK have taken to using these to create unusual gifts from. The simplest way is to cut the bottle and make a glass tumbler or being a bit more creative the base can be removed from say a Peroni beer bottle and "welded" to the neck to create a beer glass. This involves very little energy and considerably less than melting the bottle and regenerating into a new one. Another technique is to heat the bottle a bit allowing it to slump then creating an oil drizzler bottle or a full reheat will flatten the bottle and then this can be used to make nibble dishes. Once the bottle has been flattened it can also be made into a cheese board or re-affixing the label it can be made into a bottle clock. All of these are different unique gifts and all handmade.
And then if we look at jewellery this is a great source of unusual handmade gifts with many designers coming up with their own individual styles using different materials or techniques. Handmade jewellery made from sterling silver that has created in the shape of items found in the british countryside like acorn cups, blackberry's and maple seeds. A mould is made in the shape of the item and then molten silver is poured in it creating a truly unique design for necklaces and earrings. Using recycled tins that have been used for biscuits, sweets, toffees and the like creates some very different jewellery, all handmade in unusual colours with designs varying from flowers to patterns and stripes to leaves. A further jewellery style now found is called steampunk and uses old watch components on a bronze shape base creating a quirky vintage style for necklaces and pendants.
Finally, as outlined above it is possible to find some unique gifts that will provide different presents to the mainstream, you just have to think recycled and handmade! http://www.goecostore.co.uk/
