There are individuals who people might describe as natural "Scrooges" or those that hate giving or receiving gifts or even celebrating Christmas. There are also generous ones that prefer giving presents instead of being the one getting these. Here are some Christmas gifts ideas for these unique individuals.

1. Food

Any person will appreciate receiving food or a box of chocolates or Christmas goodies. These are consumables and will be completely out of their shelf or fridge in just a few weeks. Discover what the person's favorite food or dessert is then gift him with a well-wrapped package.

2. A weighing scale

Giving someone who does not normally celebrate the holidays a weighing scale is smart because the person will most likely not indulge in the festivities, especially eating. They may be more concerned about gaining weight so gifting them with a unique weighing scale that uploads and provides a graph immediately online may be proper.

3. Gift coupons

Instead of giving the person specific gift items and hoping that he or she will like it, you may have more success in handing out gift coupons instead. This way, the recipient can personally pick an item that he or she needs that suits the budget. Christmas gift ideas may include giving coupons to a free dinner at a fancy restaurant, free concert tickets or free premier movie tickets.

4. Cash

Similar to gift coupons, giving cash to teenagers is a good idea so that the receiver has more options or can choose to save the money for future purchases. Christmas gift ideas may also involve starting a bank account in the name of the receiver.

5. Discover the person's passion

Even someone who hates getting gifts cannot resist items that they are personally fond of. For example, if the person is an avid cyclist, you can purchase related accessories or apparel. Look for the best Christmas ideas by learning more about the person's hobbies and finding out if there are still certain items that he or she lacks.
