Biography
-
Capture the essence of a loved one's life and preserve it for them so it lasts for generations. Hire a company to interview a loved one on camera about their life story, or a particular event in life, such as raising a family or serving in a war. Interview the person yourself for a personal touch. Ask the person questions about the important moments in his life and what advice he has for future generations. Give a copy to the interviewee and keep a copy as a family record.
Language
-
Purchase foreign language learning classes or foreign language learning software for the gift recipient. This will become a gift that keeps on giving as they use their newly acquired language skills throughout their life. This gift also works in collaboration with a trip gift or if the recipient is planning on traveling to a particular country. Choose a language the recipient will enjoy learning or will prove useful to him.

Name a Star
-
Choose a star in the galaxy to be named after the gift recipient for a timeless and cosmic gift. The International Star Registry allows you to name a star after a given individual and sends a certificate with the selected name of the star as well as the star's coordinates. Stars can also be named for couples. Choose two stars close together in the heavens and name them after the couple as a unique anniversary gift.
Caricature
-
Take a photo of the gift recipient to a caricature artist and ask for a portrait of the individual for your gift. Fill the artist in on the individual's hobbies and interests, such as golfing, so he can include those personal details in his masterpiece. Frame the finished product to add a finishing touch to the gift. The recipient can use it as a humorous and personal touch of art in his home.
