Olivia Munn: A Life-Size Yoda
Olivia Munn’s favorite present ever received was a life-size No. 120 Yoda used in the original Star Wars movie. Munn remembers that years ago she mentioned just how much she wanted the prop, and they actually sent it to her.

Mariah Carey: A Relaxing Morning
Sometimes, we really need to loosen up a bit and forget about our daily grind. Most holidays can cause a significant amount of stress that can prevent us from enjoying ourselves. But luckily for Mariah, she got exactly what she needed: a relaxing, stress-free morning. Although she loves giving gifts, she doesn’t open hers until three days after Christmas. This way, she ensures that her family gets her undivided attention. Sometimes, catching a break is the best gift you can give someone!
Jessica Biel: Travel Workout Set
Jessica Biel doesn’t cheat on her workout even when she is traveling. The actress was very happy to receive a travel workout set that she can use every day when she’s on the go. Biel says that moving her body just makes her feel good, so she cannot take long breaks from it. A portable workout set is a perfect gift if your friend loves to work out!

Emma Thompson: Wine Tasting Course
People are actually happier when they spend money on experiences rather than objects. This is precisely what Emma’s husband thought when he gifted her a wine tasting. Because she loves wine so much, learning a little more about it built up her confidence when choosing a bottle to drink in a restaurant or at home. After all, wine tastings are like Disneyland for adults!

Ariana Grande: A Vintage Ring
Ariana Grande revealed that the best gift she has ever received is a vintage ring from her Nonna. This gift has a lot of emotional value, as the pearl on the ring used to be on her grandpa’s tie pin. Nonna gave it to her early on because of a dream she had. So she turned the pin into a ring to make it easier for Ari to wear it.  This is makes the unique gifts list, since it is filled with emotion and sentiment.  Such thoughtful gifts do not need to be expensive.   Just for fun, we went searching for an expensive vintage ring to see what it might look like and found one on Amazon for over $7000, so we could not resist sharing this with you.  Although buying a new ‘vintage’ ring, just does not sound right.

Jennifer Aniston: AÂ Toto Toilet
A toiled might be considered a rather unconventional gift for some, but for Jennifer Aniston, it was just the right thing. After all, who doesn’t love a Toto toilet? Aniston confessed that once her friends experienced it, they regretted not getting one sooner.  This is on the unique gifts list, since who would want to gift a toilet.  Having said that, Toto is an awesome machine and can also be a great toy.  If you’ve experienced it, you know what we’re talking about.
