for my BF's 25th birthday present - I accidentally paid for an hour with a prostitute! We were in Singapore, and I thought it was a spa I had taken him to - but it was a brothel. I was mortified. He never told me what happened - but we're now married so I guess he quite liked the gift!

a gift voucher for a crystal healer - it was weird! I certainly wouldn't give that as a gift - a massage gift voucher maybe, but not a crystal healer!

I got a bag of marbles for my 30th. i'm not sure if it was supposed to be retro... or a statement about finally growing up. It was an unusual gift, i'll give it that!

a crystal ball for my 21st birthday

6 bottles of Balinese wine. It was totally undrinkable - we couldn't even use it in cooking.

I once got a vegemite gift pack for a birthday present. It had 3 jars of vegemite, a t-shirt, cup and stress ball. weird gift.

a second hand book... and no it wasn't a first edition or anything... just a tatty old second hand book.

a packet of organic porridge

my friend bought me a worm farm for my 21st birthday. your supposed to put all your food scraps in it and the worms eat it up. the idea of having that many worms near me just freaked me out and I gave it away. I told my friend that they died and I had to throw it out! soooooo funny.

I once got given a pair of shoes. they were newish, but you could tell they'd been worn before. the tag was still on them, so the person who bought it must have kept the tag on, wore them a few times and then given them to me. Or she just bought a pair of shoes she realised she didn't like and then have them away as a gift.

yuk!

it would have to be some vera wang men's deodorant. I think my dad thought it was perfume

I just got a gift voucher for a really posh gourmet food shop - it was for an engagement present. I wouldn't normally go into this shop, but I had to because of the gift voucher. There were loads of food brands I had never seen before and I bought some really good quality coffee, some posh biscuits and pasta sauce etc. It was a lovely experience because there were loads of free tastings etc in the shop. I went home and cooked a really special meal for my fiance. It was a great gift

My most unusual gift was having my chakras read by this weird woman in Sydney. I didn't enjoy it because it was all talk and no massage

I think the most unusual gifts even if only a few pound make the most impact and keep the customers coming back.
Unusual, Unique, Reto and cool gifts

not so much an unusual gift, but once I got a membership to the MCG - the best gift ever!!

One unusual gift that is getting popular today in the whole Australia is Mylight. I guess many people knows this already. You can customize it, choose the words, choose the fonts and style so it can be more meaningful to the person who will receive it.
