With Christmas just around the corner, it's time to not only draw up our own wish lists but start thinking about what to buy for your friends. Some friends and family members are always difficult to buy for, which is why we've compiled our guide to the top 10 unusual Christmas gifts available online now. Just think of us as your personal shopper; helping you cut out the hours spent trawling in the shops by presenting a range of fantastic festive gifts on a plate - all available to purchase with just a few clicks of your mouse.

1. A fantastic gift for all those who have been roped to the obligatory office Secret Santa, Origami Post It Notes will keep you just busy during that dull conference call. No ordinary memo pad, these innovative sticky notes include instructions concerning how to make origami shapes. Impress your friends and colleagues with your skills and create everything from a piano to your swan.
2. You'll never have to wait for someone to make a brew again with a fun tea bell. True, it may annoy the hell out of your other half or your work colleagues, but this quirky gift will have friends and family at your beck and call! Just ensure you return the favour and get the kettle on once in a while, too!
3.Buy them the Bug Mug and Socks gift set, which means they can enjoy a refreshing mug of tea or coffee while lounging by the fire in a comfy pair of socks - perfect! The Simon Drew design with its anti-bug lid will keep drinks warm and bugs out while in the garden. Plus, it's even dishwasher safe!

4. Love each of the fun of an amusements arcade in your own lounge or bedroom using a desktop table hockey game. Stylish little, this mini game features strong jets of air which will make the puck float, and requirements just two AA batteries. The perfect gift for a keen gamer, it is a retro arcade game you know and love.
5. We hate rain, but it's suddenly become almost enjoyable - all thanks to a fun, colour changing umbrella. Printed with special ink that's white when dry, the umbrella's fabric comes to life when it comes in contact with water. The umbrella's white raindrops magically change colour when wet - ideal for dazzling all your friends and family this autumn and winter.

6. Gardening fans will love the Seed Storage Tin, ideal for keeping all your seeds in one place in your greenhouse. Keep seeds fresh and away from harsh weather conditions in this handy tin, which comes complete with A-Z filing cards for easy organisation.

7. If you know someone who loves nothing more than watching the birds flock in and out of their garden, a clever camera nest box makes an impressive gift that will bring hours of joy. Keen bird watchers can enjoy the thrill of watching resident garden birds from the comfort of their living room with this 'plug in and play' nest box. With high quality black and white camera, 20m of cable and all connectors, this box is suitable for Tree and House Sparrows, as well as Great and Blue Tits.

8. Look the business this Christmas or New Year's Eve with your individual Inflatable Beehive or Afro wig. Been invited to some retro fancy dress party? You should not spend ages styling flowing hair; simply inflate your chosen look of your hair and slip on your head. Et voila - maximum impact with minimum effort. Plus, you merely be aware of joker within your office will just adore this as his or her Secret Santa gift...

9. Host your own Christmas celebrity-themed party and insist your guests wear a Prince Harry, JLS or Simon Cowell paper and elastic mask - available cheaply online. You could even slip one of these into each of your friends' stockings this Christmas, to ensure they really get the hint...

10. Ever since their infamous appearance on a well-known insurance ad, meerkats seem to have taken over the world (well, the UK at least!). So what could be better than sipping your tea out of a Meerkat mug? An ideal novelty gift, this large cup is great for holding anything from tea and coffee to chunky soup. It's a real talking point, too!
