Children today are inundated with choice when it comes to toys, video games and the like. After so many birthdays and

Christmas' it can be hard to come up with unusual gifts that you know your child will love. It's even harder to get a

straight answer out of the children you are buying for, so what's a well intentioned parent to do when it comes to buying

their beloved kids a great present? Well it's times like these that you need to think outside the box and we are here to

help! Shopping for a one of a kind present for your little ones can take a bit more time and thought than normal but it is

bound to be loved and cherished, unlike a somewhat more disposable video game or toy.

Unusual gifts can be hard to come by for the kids today who seem to have everything; but here are some unique gift ideas

that will surprise and delight any youngster!

For a really special gift that will literally last a life time, consider naming a star after your child. This special gift

is not terribly expensive and with it comes a certificate and the co-ordinates on a chart of your child's star. What a

magical gift!

For child who loves bedtime stories (and really, what child doesn't!), a personalised fairy tale story book is a wonderful

gift. In a personalised book, your child's name is used so that he or she becomes the hero of the tale! This gift will make

bedtime stories even more special and is something that your child is likely to treasure for years to come; he or she may

even read it to their own children someday.

For school going children, how about buying them a personalised lunch bag with their favourite cartoon characters on it?

It's a practical gift that they will use every day but it is also fun and very unique. This present will ensure they are the

envy of their school friends!

Keeping in mind all things both practical and fun, consider a personalised Disney growth chart. All kids love seeing

themselves get taller and adding their name to it adds that personal and quirky touch to this simple gift.

Unusual gifts come in all shapes and sizes; they don't have to be a toy or video game. If they have their own bedroom, you

could easily spruce their room up with themed, personalised items that will be functional, fun and decorative! Funky little

items such as a personalised Disney clock or a cushion in their favourite colour with a photograph of them printed on it,

don't cost very much at all and yet will delight your child and add a bit of fun to their room.

For parents or relatives who love to relive their childhood fun through retro gifts, there are several gifts which both you

and the kids will love; for example an old school sweet hamper! All children love sweets so if you can handle the inevitable

sugar rush that will follow, how about a hamper filled with delicious, colourful retro sweets? Or even a smaller,

personalised sweet jar?

For kids who have green fingers in the garden, you might think about buying them a Grow-it gift box, which is filled with

everything they need to get started with growing flowers and herbs. Unusual gifts such as this are a great way to get them

outside in the fresh air and sunshine!

For younger children who are fussy eaters, a quirky little present such as the Miss Food Plate is a great way to help them

eat their fruits and veggies whilst being creative and having fun! They get to 'dress' the cartoon face on the plate with

any fruit and vegetables they like to create a new 'look' for Miss Food at every meal!

For a stuffed toy that stands out from the rest, try a 'flying animal' such as the flying frog; this toy flies through the

air and will keep your children and their friends entertained for hours. Other stuffed toy options include an oh so cute

teddy bear with a personalised t-shirt or a cosy plush dog that you can heat in the microwave to keep your kids warm on a

cold winter's night.

For budding young musicians, the electronic finger guitar is a great gift; this toy has all the authentic sounds of a real

guitar and will keep your child enthralled for hours on end.

These ideas are just to help you get started; have a good long look at the options available and you are sure to find

something unique and fun that's well within your budget!
