When you don't know what to give someone, gift baskets and gift box collections are a great idea. If you already know the recipients interests, you can give them something they will love and remember. Here are seven unusual gift ideas:

1. For Movie Lovers

Give her a movie-themed gift basket. Many are one-of-a-kind baskets that start with a dvd and builds around it with matching goodies. For example, a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" dvd comes with a tiara and faux pearls. I was browsing the site when I found this goodie: a classic Star Trek dvd that comes with Tribbles! http://sfbookbaskets.com/

2. Gift Basket for the Gardener

The "Digging In The Dirt" gift basket is a sturdy set of four gardening tools. The set comes with a package of Sunflower seeds to spread some sunshine. It is delivered in a chrome basket that is the perfect size for hauling plants around the yard. http://www.industrialhouse.com/GiftBaskets/garden.html

3. Gift Basket for Golf Addicts

If you have an avid golfer on your list, this may be the gift to give. The gift basket is a golf ball bucket. Inside are water, cookies, golf frame, a golf-themed towel, Duffers coffee, practice balls, peanuts, and a trick golf ball. http://www.aagiftsandbaskets.com/golfing_goodies.html

4. Gift Baskets For Baby

Handcrafted keepsake boxes decorated with an exclusive animal design are a real treasure chest to hold all those special memories from baby's first years. In these gift boxes you can get handmade soaps, tiny leather baby shoes, gorgeous fleece blankets and baby sleepwear which are embroidered with the boxtot animal design. http://www.boxtot.com/new-baby-gifts.htm

5. Gift Collection for He Who Has a Thirst for Life (and a Sense of Humor)

How about something called the "Drinky Stinky Gift Box"? It's cigars and assorted beers with a cigar cutter and beer coasters. http://www.beeronthewall.com/beer-gift-baskets.html

6. For the Health-Conscious and World-Conscious

Here's a gift that helps make the world better and is even healthy. It's a gift collection from a group that helps women break out of unemployment, poverty and other difficult situations. They offer a gift bundle of Ten Bean Soup, Black Bean Soup, Old-Fashioned Chili (Mild), Firehouse Chili (Hot), Split Pea Soup, and 6 Bean Organic Soup. http://womensbeanproject.org/

7. Gift Baskets for Fido and his Owner

"Treats for Two" contains snacks for that special someone and their dog. They also offer "Frisky Feline and Friend" and "Dog and Cat" gift baskets. http://bisketbaskets.com/petboutique.html

If these gift collections don't exactly fit the person you're buying for, don't worry. Many gift basket websites offer customization or the option of "building-your-own-basket". Whatever you decide to give, it's the packaging and the contents of the gift basket that can make a truly unusual and thoughtful gift.
