Choosing Unique Gifts For Men

February 25th, 2009 | by real |

When it comes to choosing a gift for friends or family members it has be something they will want to keep and is unique. This is particularly important when we are buying gifts for men we want it to be thought of original and not something bought at your department store.

We can all think back about gifts we have received in the past which were not not that special Buying over the Internet is a great solution to the problem of finding unique gifts.

I recently bought a gift for my brother which I thought was a totally unique gift idea. Basically I bought him a small amount of land. If that was not unique enough this gift land was in Scotland so he by long standing tradition became known as the Laird (the Scottish name for Lord).

I admit it is not a huge Scottish land estate but it does legally belong to him and we all enjoyed the party when he was presented with the Lordship. A few friends were let in on the secret the day before and we all started to bow and curtsy to him calling him “my Lord” and really winding him up. He had no clue what was happening to him later that night.

He actually did live in Scotland for some time but family responsibilities prevent him from returning very often so this gift of being a Scottish Laird or Lord was made really special for him. Although my brother is not a heavy drinker he does like the very occasional tipple of Scotch Whisky so we included a bottle of Isle of Jura malt whisky into the gift and make it even more unique. This whisky is distilled only about a mile of so from his new Estate so he can tour the distillery (its free of course) whenever he visits his Scottish estate on the Isle of Jura.

Even if your friend has no existing connection with Scotland they will love to read the fifty page Laird of Jura Handbook which goes into detail about the Scottish Culture and history of this beautiful Scottish island.
