When we are around our loved ones it is wonderful to be able to express our emotions and desires without worrying about taking a lot of criticism for our inner thoughts, and essentially that is what the word "family" is all about. It is showing someone close to you that they are so important in your life that you'd go to any length just to make them smile, or you would gladly sit back for hours on end and listen to them complain about something ridiculous, only so that they will feel just a little bit better. It's about all of those personal moments you've shared throughout your relationship, the good and the bad, that make that person someone that you're proud to call family, and that is why you are in search of the ultimate funny unique gifts to show them you care.

Now I know exactly what you're thinking...I just described that quirky co-worker that you have coffee with every afternoon that complains about everything, and you definitely don't love them. To put this plainly; he's family, so get over it already. The sooner you admit this, the sooner we can get to the funny unique gift part. Okay, take a moment...breathe, breathe some more...perfect. Let's move on.

The best part about being so ridiculously close to someone is carrying the knowledge of every single one of their dark, inner secrets; so if you're planning on buying a unique funny gift that will spark some emotion it is going to have to be original. Your purchase needs to be something reflective of their life, and the more personal the funny unique gifts are, the bigger your laugh will be. For example, one of my relatives that will go unnamed (sorry Uncle Albert) once had an accident in his vehicle after sampling the various gourmet cuisine at the local Taco Bell, and at the time he was already a few minutes late for the most important job interview in his entire life. To make a long story short, it doesn't matter what else that's going on around the holidays in my family; every year like clockwork we're going to our grandparent's house for an afternoon brunch, and shortly afterwards Uncle Albert is going to spot which present under the tree is a case of adult diapers with his name on it.

The key to selecting great funny unique gifts is to look at your loved one's life and think about their true moment of weakness. They cared enough about you to share this tidbit of knowledge, and as time passed the two of you have been able to look back at it and share a good, hearty belly-jiggling laugh or two. Whenever you're selecting funny unique gifts, you should try to relive those enjoyable memories, but only with those who are already in on the punch line. Unfortunately for Uncle Albert, that is now the entire world (sorry again!).
