According to the Office for National Statistics, more people are born between September and December than in any other quarter of the year. With this mass of birthdays comes that one person who is notoriously difficult to buy for, and start to endure in many last-minute gift-buying trips to the shops. Whether it is for a man or a woman, how do you make sure you find something unique and unusual which will please even the fussiest of friends and won’t hit you hard in the pocket in the process?

There are several things you should look at before making a decision. How much are you happy to spend? Is the recipient approaching a special birthday? It also helps to think about the person’s interests – is there something that they particularly love doing? Some people are music-lovers, while others are aspiring chefs. We all have something that makes us unique, so you want to make sure you find a beautiful handmade gift that is just as unique as they are. Handmade gifts come with their own story, and therefore have even more appeal as well as being treasured for longer.

For the budding author or poet, make sure you support their love of writing with hand bound notebooks and beautiful hand turned wooden pens. These are pieces which come with a story in themselves! You definitely can’t beat a beautiful nubuck leather notebook, so make sure you always keep one in your bottom draw just in case a last-minute birthday creeps up. When looking to buy a gift for the home lover, it is even more vital to think about their personal taste. You must visualise the item in their home: will it fit? Will it compliment the colour scheme and go with other items in the room? Decorative gifts such as pottery or ceramics make beautiful presents – gifts that will definitely last a lifetime.

Is there someone on your gift list who spends most of their time travelling? Selecting the right gift for the globetrotter can be hard, but you cannot got wrong with a classic, but useful, leather accessory: maybe a gorgeous book cover, sunglasses case or trendy satchel? For the fussy fashionista there is no better gift than unique jewellery. The fashionista loves to shop, keeps up on all the latest styles and trends, and definitely won’t be seen in the same outfit twice. If she could, she would probably buy her birthday present herself! Whether you decide to go for a delicate bangle or a statement necklace, with handcrafted jewellery you can be sure that you are giving her something which she won’t see anyone else wearing!

And finally, what do you give the person who has everything? This is the most difficult, but giving them something a little more unusual should do the trick! How about a slip cast porcelain figures or hand sculpted clay character dolls? Make sure you choose something which is both unique and collectable. Whether you decide to opt for a small token or a truly distinctive piece, don’t worry, we all know that ‘it’s the thought that counts’.
