Who wants a generic gift, right? If you’re mulling over what gift to give someone on their birthday, you’re in the right place. Here’s my list of a couple of unique (other odd) gifts to give the person who already has everything. I’d pop a tenner on the fact they don’t have any of these!

A melting clock

Because you want the recipient to be able to read the time, and get a headache at the same time. He melting clock shows that time is fluid in a weird way. The melted surface can sit on an edge of a desk or a bookshelf and still function as a reliable timepiece. Don’t worry, the optical illusion makes the clock face easily readable from any angle. Yes, there’s a melting watch to match.

Harry Potter Wizard Chess Set

Manufactured by the noble collection and authorised by Warner Brothers, this harry potter wizard chess set is sure to be a hit for any Harry Potter fan. It’ll be a great addition to a collection or used as a regular chess board game with a twist. Let the Wizard fight begin!

Wood Vase Handmade Flowerpot Table Vase

No home is complete without fresh flowers; don’t you think? Give the celebrant a unique, modern, and simple hand-made vase, which will turn any room into mother nature’s favourite place. Better yet, trawl Pinterest and try making one yourself. Give it with matching flowers and you’re set. Giving birthday flowers is something everyone appreciates.

Air bazooka

Give the celebrant an endless supply of laughs with this awesome invention. The air bazooka is a unique, handheld device that blows a ball of air towards any person or object. Prepare to receive a phone call from the recipient telling you how he/she messed up someone’s hair, ruffle shirt, or blew away a cigarette someone is smoking. Pure genius.

Manual to manhood

Admit it, not all grown up men are prepared to be one. With this, you’ll be able to help a bro gain respect, avoid embarrassment, and impress everyone! This is a book about the essentials a man needs to know about the journey to manhood. It includes how to: wear cologne correctly, tie a tie, grill a steak, manage money, plan a date, talk to a girl, write a resume, clean a bathroom, ask for a reference, throw darts, behave during a traffic stop, fold a shirt, clear a sink drain, and many more! Hope they write manual to maidenhood soon.

There you have it 5 unique birthday treats for that co-worker, family member or (even) lover that doesn’t appreciate traditional socks, ties or bath bombs. Sometimes you just need to think a little outside of the box - and today, I’m definitely doing that.

Righto, I’m off to buy Craig a Man Manual. He still hasn’t put that shelf up in our bedroom, pfft.
