We all have that one friend (or family member) who is impossible to buy for.
None of the usual gifts are their style, so what do you do? There’s always cash or vouchers, but if you want to actually buy them something, then this Christmas gift guide is for you.
Below you will find five ideas for the perfect gift for the quirky people in your life.
There are loads of gifts to choose from on all the websites I have listed, I have chosen my personal favourites to share with you.
When buying someone a gift, unless they have specifically requested a certain item, I always try to buy something I would love myself, and I would be really pleased with any of the five ideas on this list.
Maybe that means I am the awkward to buy for one.
I think I’m pretty simple to buy for actually – books, Yankee candles and anything alcoholic, but sometimes you want to buy something a little bit different.
I have also tried to choose things that aren’t overly expensive – the gifts on the list range from £5.95 to £29.99.
This is not a sponsored post, these are just things I really like and think would make excellent gifts.
Anyway, enough waffling. On with the Christmas gift guide.
Quirky Christmas Gift Guide
1. Temptress Fairy – Flame
How amazing is this Nemesis Now fairy? From the Temptress Fairy collection, Flame is priced at £29.99 and is available here.
2. Zombie Survival Manual
Everyone needs a plan for what to do in the case of a zombie apocalypse (yes I have one, yes I know it’s weird). This manual may come in useful. Available here, your salvation is a bargain £14.95.
3. Dancing Groot
This cute little Guardians of the Galaxy Groot dances whenever it hears music. Available here for only £24.99!
4. Immerse Virtual Reality Headset
This headset works by adding a free app to your phone and attaching the phone to the headset for a virtual reality experience. Available here for £24.99.
5. Happiness Bell
This pretty little wind chime featuring the happiness symbol is only £5.95.
I hope you got some inspiration for that awkward to buy for friend in your life from my Christmas gift guide.

I think that I would like any of those. Consider me quirky
Debbie, My Random Musings
There are much worse things to be! Quirky people get all the best gifts 🙂
Becky, Cuddle Fairy
lol yes alcohol & Yankee candles are safe fall back gifts. That virtual reality headset would be awesome – I can’t believe how reasonably priced it is. Cuddle Fairy isn’t too sure about the temptress fairy though lol #anythinggoes
Debbie, My Random Musings
I know, I was shocked at how cheap it was – I only really looked at it out of curiosity, I expected it being far too expensive to go on the list! Haha, maybe Cuddle Fairy could be a good influence on her 🙂
Michelle
Every single one of these is right up my alley and would exactly what I would ask for as a gift. The fairy is my favorite! I collect gothic fairies that are somethimes “temptresses” LOL. Nene Thomas, Jessica Galbreth, and Myka Jelina are the ones I love the most. The Zombie guide is awesome! That is so me:-) #anythinggoes
Debbie, My Random Musings
I collect them too! I collect the Nemesis Now ones and the Temptress is on my wish list 🙂 I saw an amazing one today, it was a fairy with a dragon as well, it stood to perhaps my hip height (I’m 5 ft 4) but it was £150, can’t be spending that much on myself at this time of the year! I’ll be keeping an eye out in the January sales though 🙂 It pays to be prepared for the zombie apocalypse lol 🙂

My husband loves Guardians of the galaxy … I think he would be made up with a dancing groot! These are cool gifts, I wouldn’t have thought to buy any of these. The virtual reality thing looks really good.zx #anythinggoes
Debbie, My Random Musings
I love the dancing Groot, I think he is so cute! Thank you 🙂
Cheryl @ ReimerandRuby
Yep, yankee candles as you can’t go wrong with it and alcohol too. I love the happiness bell… I think I want to receive one of those. #AnythingGoes
Debbie, My Random Musings
I am happy with those for sure! It’s really cute isn’t it 🙂
Silly Mummy
Quirky gifts are the best! & I definitely know some people who would like the zombie survival guide! #AnythingGoes
Debbie, My Random Musings
It’s important to have a survival plan lol 🙂

Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it 🙂 Merry Christmas!
Mrs Tubbs
None of those are quite me, but I’m sure I know some people who’d love the Zombie book
Debbie, My Random Musings
I realise they aren’t things that would appeal to everyone, but I wanted to do a gift guide and I’ve seen 100s of gifts for women, men, children etc so I thought I would do something a bit different 🙂
Agent Spitback
Ok, I actually like all of them – am I the quirky hard to buy for friend? That fairy is awesome! Maybe I should your page open for the husband to read? #anythinggoes
Debbie, My Random Musings
Haha, maybe you are! Oh you should defo do that, at least he won’t be stuck for what to get you 🙂
Katie (Growing Up KaterTot)
I’m liking the virtual reality headset! That’s definitely something that someone may not buy for themselves but would enjoy receiving as a gift. It looks like so much fun! I’m surprised it’s only $25. 🙂 #AnythingGoes
Debbie, My Random Musings
It’s fab isn’t it! And I was shocked at how cheap it was 🙂
Harry's Honest Mummy
Yep, definitely quirky gifts. My friends are all pretty mainstream and they know I predictably shop at the same places (creature of habit). They can probably guess what they are getting long before I have actually bought it 🙂 Perhaps I surprise them this year with something off your list! #TheList
Debbie, My Random Musings
Oh you should, it’s good to mix things up a little once in a while 🙂
Life as Mum
Oh these are so different! A great list of gifts.

Thank you 🙂 I love gits that are a little different, both giving and receiving them. The groot is really cute isn’t it! x
Trista, Domesticated Momster
I am cheap…I usually just make gifts for the grandparents and my husband orders his own stuff. I do like that fairy figurine though…I love collecting stuff like that. For me Christmas is all about the kiddos. Hope you had a fabulous Christmas and a wonderful new year. So glad to call you my blogging friend 💌Trista….PS I am a little late to the party but I have been in the holiday fog and now the blogging bug has once again bit me. Thanks for being such a fab hostess as always.
Debbie, My Random Musings
Home made gifts are special! Had a great Christmas thanks, hope you did too 🙂 I’ve given up trying to fit it in around everything else over the holidays, I’ll be back properly around January 4th! Thanks for linking up x
