Introduction
Be it a birthday, anniversary, work promotion, Christmas, wedding, or anything else coming up, one of the toughest things is to choose a gift for your loved ones. You could always go with boring gifts, such as roses, chocolates, watches, perfumes – but where’s the fun in that? How do you actually make someone feel special with a thoughtful gift?
You do that with an unconventional gift, which could be anything original like playing their favorite song on the piano or learning to cook their favorite dish when you don’t even know how to cook. Let’s go over some of the most unconventional and unique gifts you can give for any occasion.

IYUT 3-in-1 LED Ceiling Galaxy Light Projector

With this wonderful ceiling galaxy light protector, you’ll be able to project the animated night sky onto the ceiling, which is a mesmerizing display with various lighting colors, speed settings and brightness levels as well. The best part is that you can also connect your smartphone to it through Bluetooth or USB and play your favorite songs as you gaze at the stars in your room.
New York Times Custom Birthday Book
The New York Times Custom Birthday Book is the ultimate unconventional gift, and it helps you truly celebrate the day your friend or loved one came into this world. It’s a coffee table hardback book with the name and birthdate of the person you’re giving it to. When they open the book, they’re greeted with the front page of the New York Times from the day they were born. As they flip each page, they get the front pages of every New York Times that was printed on their birthday. It’s a fun way to find about important historical events that coincide with one’s birthday.

If your friend or loved one is a music enthusiast, there’s no better gift for them than a Skoove membership.

Final Thoughts
Giving someone a gift is a wonderful experience, not just for the recipient, but for the giver also. One thing to always remember is that no matter what the occasion is and who you’re buying the gift for, the sentiment matters more than the price tag, and the thoughtfulness is what makes any gift valuable.
