Have you thought about Christmas yet?
Don’t sigh - If you haven’t then NOW is the time and I have some ideas & places for you to look which will hopefully ease the pain…
Some of you might say it’s too early, but if you are going to give yourself the option of buying presents online then you need to do it this week so that you get it in the post in time for Xmas day!!!
I thought I’d share with you some cool sites I’ve found for buying unconventional presents that don’t cost a fortune:
1.GHILLIE GEAR
http://www.ghilliegear.com/index.php
This one is in for kicks – (unless you know someone who LOVES paintball and takes it pretty seriously?) They call themselves the ‘invisibility experts’ – I think you need to see the site for yourself!!

2.PERPETUAL KID
Their motto is: “Entertain your inner child” – need I say more? These guys only post to US but allow you to use a service called BongoUS which gives you a US shipping address and then reroutes it to your international address – I haven’t used it before, clever idea: http://bongous.com/

3. WHAT IS BLIK
This site has fantastic (and reasonably priced) wall art that sticks on like a sticker (and in some cases can be peeled off and restuck) – Before you get too excited though, they only ship to Canada and US so this is only suitable if you have friends or family abroad… worth a mention though, I hope they start shipping to Australia

4. THREADLESS
Cool and unique T-shirts, hoodsies, hoodies, onesies (for kiddies) and wall art – these are printed on American Apparel – I have heaps of them and they’re a good fit & quality

5. OXFAM UNWRAPPED
http://www.oxfamunwrapped.com.au/
Be REALLY original and give someone some manure, a goat or sewing training – there are so many more original things that you can buy on this site! The unwrapped gifts send you a nice card with a picture of your goat (etc.) to give to your gift recipient and at the same time you’re both giving to those less fortunate around the world.
TIP: Get your Christmas cards from these guys

6. ASHIDASHI
Why buy dad boring old navy or black socks when you can get some like these? My personal favourites are the ‘meat socks’, followed closely by ‘kick the habit’ and ‘pencil’ – They post to Australia!
Help someone kick their habit with these cigg socks?

7. COOL MATERIAL
Fantastic site for buying those hard to buy ‘man-presents’ - could spend hours looking through this site!
TIP: Check out the Elite Marshmallow Blaster! (A must have for everyone!!)

8. EBAY
Its obvious, but it has to be said because its one of the best sites on the internet!!
TIP: enable “search worldwide” to get a far better range of cool stuff to choose from

9. PHOTO JOJO
With everyone these days claiming to be a semi-professional photographer there is bound to be something on here to please!
TIP: Check out the bottle top camera tripod – and only $10!

10. URBAN OUTFITTERS
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/
There is a whole bunch of interesting, and reasonably priced present ideas on this site – I like the apartment section of the site best, but they sell a whole range of things

Good luck, don’t forget, if you’re buying something from o/s start shopping now so it arrives in time for Christmas!
