Silver Plate

One of the most special and unique presents is to have a silver plate engraved with the time and date of birth of the child, engraved on it. This is also a memory of a lifetime!

A Collage

Make a collage of all his photos, from his birth to the present. This is one of the best gifts.

For Occasions

Birthday

Receiving a birthday present, whether one has turned ten or sixty, almost always brings a smile to one's face. Clothes, accessories, books, interior decor items, gadgets - there are numerous items to choose from.
A unique idea - present something which the birthday boy or girl least expect from you. For this, let your imagination run wild.

Baby Shower

There are two ways of choosing baby shower presents. Give the would-be mother something that will help her in taking care of the baby, in the first few months after the baby is born. Going by this, laundry baskets, feeding products, cotton gloves, a crib, sleep sacks for the infant, make for some of the choices
However, if you are looking for something unique, you can give the mother something creative like a two or three tier diaper cake, made from disposable diapers! Make a "brag book" yourself and present it to the mother to record her little baby's rattlings.

Anniversary

Anniversary presents are meant for the most special person in your life i.e. your spouse. So, they should be very unique, creative, and thoughtful. After all he/she deserves the best! A good idea is to plan a special day for your spouse, and give him or her a special treat.

Wedding

The couple will be starting a fresh life, maybe shifting to a new house, post marriage. So, wedding presents should be such that they help them ease into this new life.
If you are family or a close friend of the couple, you can ask them if they need any furniture item or a kitchen item such as a microwave, refrigerator, etc. and you can give the same to them.
The best gifts, whether for one's spouse, parents or friends, are those which consider the likes and needs of the person they are meant for. A gift can be fun, useful, thoughtful, or creative - it can be anything as long as the receiver feels special and unique upon receiving it!
