It is a widely known fact that women can be notoriously hard to buy for. Whether they have selective, expensive or indecisive taste, even the best gift-giver can sometimes struggle. Her Majesty the Queen is a veteran when it comes to receiving unusual gifts - tinned tuna, Giant Turtles, a grove of maple trees and a ceremonial sword of sharks teeth to name a bizarre few! While these may seem especially unusual gifts for women, they are often customary presents from different cultures.

If you are seeking an unusual gift for her birthday then why not make it as unique as she is? Gifts with a personal touch will always go down a storm. A personalised mix tape or CD of songs from the year she was born shows how much you care and you could even create your own artwork for the sleeve. A similar idea is sourcing newspaper headlines from the year she was born and creating a collage of the events surrounding her birth. You will make a much bigger splash than buying her a CD or piece of art from the high street as you hand her a gift that really is one of a kind.

If it is coming up to that time of year when happy memories fill the air of your first date, your first kiss or your wedding, don't panic about how to impress your partner. Your anniversary, no matter what number or event, should always be treated with the upmost care and attention. A special anniversary gift is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression with your loved one so don't hold back! A hand made scrap book of photos and memories is guaranteed to be a hit as it will scream thoughtfulness and care. Wedding anniversaries are celebrated in different ways around the world. In northern Germany an age old tradition is to present couples with a bunch of parsley two and a half years after their wedding day!

If you are tired of wading through fluffy teddy bears and heart shaped chocolates around Valentine's Day, and you want to find something a little different for your sweetheart, then perhaps you could start looking a little closer to home. Some of the greatest love stories and poems have come from British writers so pay homage and create some verses of your own to give your loved one. Not only is this a unique present that she will treasure for a long time but it will last much longer than a bunch of flowers.
