At Gift Chooser we’re here for one reason: to help you find unusual and original
gifts for your friends and family.
We don't sell gifts. Instead, you'll find hundreds of brilliant gift ideas from dozens
of online gift shops on our site.
Best of all, we're independent. We review and
recommend gifts that we think you'll like, regardless
of who sells them.

Maplin Electronics
Website: www.maplin.co.uk
Not an obvious website choice for gift ideas and presents but it’s surprising how much electrical stuff is bought for Birthdays, Christmas, Wedding presents and Easter gifts.
If you’re on the search for MP3 players, mobile phones, cameras and camcorders, laptops and sat nav systems and all the accessories you could wish for, then Maplins has it all.

Holland & Barrett
Website: www.hollandandbarrett.com
A healthy Pick ‘n’ Mix? And one that will definitely be cheaper than Woolworth’s last bag of Pick ‘n’ Mix (which sold for a staggering £14,500!)
People always want to look and feel good, so buying presents from a health and well-being shop such as Holland & Barrett isn’t such a bizarre idea as it may first appear.

As the credit crunch continues biting, everyone is starting to watch what they spend. Unfortunately people still have birthdays, so buying a gift that they’ll be able to enjoy time and time again is one of the best kinds of presents to get.
As we start to cut back on eating out, it’s clear that the dinner party is coming back into fashion.

If you happen to have a best mate, wife, husband or partner who has vowed to give up smoking as one of their New Years resolutions, then this electronic cigarette will make the perfect birthday gift to help them give up their habit.

Do you have friends and family on your list who have everything they want anyway? Then what is the point of buying a present they don’t want, need or like?
Not everybody wants to spend their hard earned money on unwanted christmas gifts. So more people are turning to meaningful gifts and cards for their seasonal giving.

In days where we often entertain at home, or at least drink more at home than we ever used to (it’s often cheaper than visiting the pub!) a wine rack seems to be something that everyone needs.
It’s always handy having a bottle of the grape juice to hand in case of unexpected visitors or a bottle of bubbly for those surprise celebrations.

Agony Aunt at Giftchooser recently got a query from a Julia who is stuck for gift ideas for a school friend.
She asks Agony Aunt:
We are doing a secret santa at school, and I don’t know what to get my 13 year old friend. She’s not exactly picky, but I want to get her something unusual. she likes ice-cream, chocolate, cows and pink, she’s a girly girl. She is also quite funny and likes jokes and humour. Please help as I am really stuck.
