Looking for unique holiday gifts for 2013? Me too. I'm always on the prowl for thoughtful gifts that are both cool and unique with attention to artistry and craft. For those of you just beginning your holiday shopping or those of you with unfruitful attempts, get ready to be inspired! My unique holiday gift guide is a tastefully curated list of 10 cool and unique gifts for mom, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, or enemy, all under $100 to boot. 

1. Fort Standard Crest Bottle Openers - $60 (for one). I love the simplicity of these geometric shapes. Functional and decorative.

2. Snoogs And Wilde 5 Feathers No. 7 - $34. A lovely watercolor painting to brighten your days. It's on my wish list, among others.

3. The Motley x Joya Studio Easy Rider Candle - $34 and/or Townsend Bay Rum Scented Bar Soap - $8. Both scents are masculine, warm, and inviting. Great for the dudes in your life.

4. Tracy Tanner Studded Key Chain - $12. Unique and lush silver leather with an antiqued brass stud. Also comes in black. A bad-ass addition to any keychain.

5. Goldie's Juniper Argan Makeup Remover - $26. Wipes away cosmetics smoothly and softly and firms skin without use of any harsh chemicals found in most commercial skincare products. The only ingredients? Sweet almond oil, sesame oil, argan oil, essential oils of juniper and parsley seed.

6. Nectar & Light Print Shop by Jen Altman - No. 9 - $35. Bringing together art and science, Jen captures the wing of a bird from the Vertebrate Zoology Collections at the University of Colorado Museum of Natural History. All her shots are taken on a vintage Polaroid 680SLR camera. Check out No. 8 or No. 10 for wings without pink or create a set of three.

7. Freedumb Founded by Sadie Gilliam Hardware - $18 for one. Not available on her website, so e-mail to place an order at sadielosangeles@gmail.com. These are handmade brass nails with either triangle, heart, or rectangle tops crafted using the lost wax technique. These define cool and unique. Great for hanging necklaces, etc.

8. Planter Cover - $44. A cozy home for a plant! More unique and practical than a ceramic planter.

9. Ann-Ya Marbled Leather Cat Coasters Set of 4 - Silver & Gold - $30, Gray - $30, Pink - $30. These cat-shaped leather coasters are hand-dyed and hand-marbled in either silver & gold, black, silver and charcoal (grey) or pink, gold, and natural leather tones (pink). Each cat is one of a kind.

10. Letter Pillow Cover by Happy Habitat in Paprika, Dove, or Bubble Gum - $70. Make your present personal with this customizable cozy letter pillow cover (insert not included) made from 80% recycled cotton right here in the USA.
