Unique Gifts Are Great for Any Occasion

Unique gifts are a great option to give for any occasion.  Are you searching for the perfect birthday or anniversary gift?  If so then get one that will be remembered forever.  Any holiday special occasion is an excellent time to shop for unusual and out of the ordinary items that show the recipient how much they mean to you.   

For a woman, there a beautiful keepsake box will be a remembrance every time she sees it on her dresser. 
For a man a bronze statue of an eagle is something that will be treasured.

Gnomes and Fairy Statuary Lend a Bit of Whimsy to Your Home Decor

Gnomes and fairies are mythical, magical beings and as such, can lend touch of magic to your landscaping.  If you are looking for a way to add a bit of fun to your outdoor world, a gnome or fairy (or both) might be just the ticket you are looking for.

Garden Accents

Winged fairies look quite at home in a flower garden.  One naturally expects to find winged creatures such as birds and insects, in a garden.  Imagine the delight of visitors who spy the wings of something amongst your flower beds and investigate only to discover a whimsical fairy making her home among the blooms. 

Depending on the style, pose and size of the fairy, they add a certain charm to the edges of pools, fountains and waterfalls. The little creatures appear to have stopped to admire the water and remind you to do the same.

Lawn Statuary

Lawn gnomes have been around for generations.  Still popular today, they come in a wider variety of shapes, sizes and poses.  If you’re not sure what gnomes are, envision figures reminiscent of Snow White’s dwarves.  They are brightly colored and generally stand about 1 to 2 feet tall.  They make entertaining companions for trees, shrubs, patios and all but the most formal gardens.  You can expect to pay between $30 and $75 for most pieces, a little more for larger or more elaborate designs. There are even garden gnomes that can be suspended from tree branches. What a playful touch they add to the scenery.

Fairies and gnomes also make great unique gifts.

Unique Gifts for Valentine's Day

Flowers and candy are traditional Valentine's Day gifts. How about trying something more lasting – romantic statues.

Romantic statues communicate how you feel about someone a lot better than flowers or chocolates can. They are three dimensional representations of your love.

Here are two that merit discussion:

1. Swept Away is a beautiful piece by Carlo Bronti. Although it is made out of high quality designer resin it appears to be shaped from crystals. The love of the male and female is unmistakable.

2. The Embrace is an erotic statue by Kaleb Martyn. Just seeing it tells you all.

Both statues are affordable and are a lasting remembrance of love. Much more lasting than traditional Valentine's Day fare.

Back Away From Those Gift Cards

Every grocery store that I go to has a wall of gifts cards for sale.  Everything from Home Depot and Best Buy to The Cheesecake Factory.  The worst are the generic Visa, Mastercard and American Express Cards.  How much thought does it take to give one of these as a gift?

Admittedly if you are giving something to an acquaintance who you do not know much about these are a good idea.  But when it comes to someone with whom you have a special relationship – a parent, spouse, sibling, child – what does this tell them?  Maybe that they weren’t worth the time or effort to find something unique.

It’s not that hard.  How about a working, restored antique phone?   You can’t find these at many places.   Garden statues are appreciated by many.  Anything that adds to home décor is great.  The trick, however, is to show your loved one that you took the time and effort to find something that is uniquely for them.  Time is a valuable commodity.  Too many people do not use it for the people they care for.

We specialize in unique gifts.  We have hundreds of hard to find items.  Many are limited editions or created by known artists.  How unique?  Well we have a seven foot tall Brontosaurus Garden Sculpture.  But we also have “normal” type things – but unique nevertheless.
