By Eugenia Dickerson


Every day some where around the earth people go to small stores to purchase thoughtful little trinkets for their families and friends. From hand made german gifts for people from Europe to some lava lamps for people still living in the mid-seventies. These are the small gifts that someone always remembers. They are presents for friends that has a special meaning that they will tell stories of to their family about why they bought them when get old and gray.

People typically buy german or novelty presents for several different reasons. They more than just trinkets and toys people find on vacation as they are visiting foreign lands. They are typically well thought out ideas, planned some time in advance. This is really what makes them so unique when it is time to give gifts.

They can often be found in many different places people go. Where they find them at is generally a compelling part of the tale that is built around buying them. With the many different places they are often found, it is not a matter of just getting into the car for a drive to the crowded shopping mall where everyone else goes.

Generally one of the primary places people can look for a special gift is on the web. It is quite true that people can find generally anything on the web. This often includes strange or unusual presents. This can often be a good option because many large companies have free shipping and can ship to an address different from your home.

Sometimes specialty stores are a good option as well. These are the places people often visit when they are on vacation or just traveling through different places in the country. Depending on the area you go to you can find anything from cheese related items in Wisconsin, to maple syrup items in Maine. The sky is the limit and most items are not really all that expensive.

Some are the gifts people craft themselves. Materials are often much more inexpensive when you get them in bulk or as components for something else. Yarn for instance is relatively inexpensive, it just takes time to make it into a multi-layered Christmas sweater or a pair of socks to wear on those cold winter mornings.

Some people are just good at finding items that can be easily re-purposed as unique gifts. This can range from something as common as old unused postage stamps, rare coins and arrow heads people find in their fields. It is often the story of the mystery around the gift that gives it value.

The next time you are driving down old route 66 and pull into a strange little shop in the middle of nowhere, stop and look around. Those german gifts you see sitting on the counter might be a great gift for an old friend or family member of yours. Even if it is small, generally it will be the meaning that counts because it will still be remembered for years through stories and pictures.
