12 UNIQUE GIFT IDEAS FOR $5 FROM FIVERR

FIVERR is a site where people sign up to hire their talents out for different things at $5 a pop and it could be source of an inexpensive, unique gift for some one on your Christmas list.

The Big Jolly Guy will deliver a personal message dressed as Santa from the North Pole.  13 years ago, I paid around $15 for a "Personalized Santa" video tape for my son, and worth every penny to watch his delighted expression as knew it was real because my first name was on the list too (thankfully, not the naughty list).  He watched it and was on his best behavior weeks before Christmas and we played it for several years afterwards as a reminder around Christmas, so I would consider this a bargain for $5.

Have your child receive a call from one of Santa's Helpers, Fandomplanet, a professionally trained actor/comedian from Hollywood for $5 per child, and he will throw in  Mrs. Claus is available at no extra charge.

 For that relative that has everything, they probably don't have a personalized message from you painted on a beer gut, but you can give it to them by hiring The Beer Gut Man

If you have several younger kids you need small gifts or stocking stuffers for, industrious young Princess Rayleen and her mom will make and send 9 bracelets (specify for girl or boy and 3 colors), which is a bargain at around .55 cents each.

Have a photo crafted into a Simpson's inspired character by Zilchy

Squeeze Box Hero will sing and squeeze out of his accordion fun Christmas or Holiday songs.  I think "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" would be perfect.

Guitarvez will put their cat to work to deliver your Christmas message wearing your choice of reindeer antlers or a Santa hat for the cat lover on your list.

For a single lovelorn male friend  The_great_berry will be their virtual girlfriend for a week  She indicates she "will send you personalized photo(s) (sorry, no nudes ;D), email(s) at least two paragraphs long, handwritten letter(s), and/or voice mail(s) over the course of 7 days. If you want, supply the details of my character or I can create my own. If you're looking for a crazy ex, or possessive girlfriend, I can do this, too. NOT A REAL RELATIONSHIP. FOR NOVELTY PURPOSES ONLY."

If you have a green conscious friend that is need of new wallet, you can get a new one made out of a juice container by Lydia_Pang.

For a unique piece of statement jewelry you can commission Inky to put a word or name on a grain of  rice and put it in a heart pendant or a chain.

Mmaval will make a digital cartoon painting of your four legged family member or a human one if you prefer.

If sunshine and beautiful pictures are what the person on your gift list craves Hawaii Photo Girl
lives around Hilo, Hawaii and will take a picture of anything you like around Hilo. 

 If none of the above fit your list, check out other listings a Fiverr and if it is not listed, you can make a request and see if someone responds.

Disclaimer:  I have no affiliation with Fiverr or any of the the above and received nothing for posting this - just think it is unique and fun.
