Vintage Handbags & Purses

Christmas is now only a couple of months away, and whether you're shopping for Christmas or Birthday presents it's always handy to have some good ideas for gifts. But rather than the usual perfume for mum or socks for dad, here are a couple of more unusual gift ideas.

First up is the iDuck Floating Wireless Speaker, which is currently available from good online retailers for around £24.99. This little duck is no different from your normal rubber duck, except it's not rubber and it plays music for you via it's entirely wireless speaker, meaning there's no worry of electric shock. One of those great little novelty gifts, the iDuck is actually quite useful and works with any MP3 player, so it's the ideal present for any teenage son or daughter.

Next is the Photo Frame Clock, which is a really nicely designed product. As you've probably already guessed it's a clock, but what makes this clock so interesting is the space for an individual photograph next to each of the clocks' 12 numbers. The Photo Frame Clock comes in a variety of different sizes, shapes and colours, meaning you'll be able to find the perfect personalised gift for any member of the family.

Finally it's My Scratch Map, a brilliant wall map that allows you to scratch off where you've been. When none of the map has been scratched off, it looks classy and civilised, like it would look perfectly at home hanging in the library. Remove the areas you've visited in the World though and you'll be greeted with a huge amount of additional colour and detail. The map scratches off easily with a coin and would make an ideal solution if you're looking for Christmas gifts for a particularly well-travelled individual.

Hopefully that gives you a couple of idea for some more quirky or unique gifts, which will make your loved one smile rather than pretending to like your gift. Spend a bit of time looking online and you're sure to find something that's a little bit different but perfect for your loved ones.
