Are you freaking out over what on earth to give that person who's impossible to shop for? Surprise your recipient with a present that's different - out-of-the-ordinary - something they'd never get for themselves.  Below is a list of ten incredibly unique things you might not even have thought of as gifts.  You don't have to spend a lot of money to make a powerful impression, either.

1) Membership in a Beer-of-the-Month Club . Every month, for 3, 6, or 12 months (depending on which plan you pick), your recipient gets 3 bottles of 4 different premium microbrews - 12 all together! Different award-winning breweries from around the country send the beer along with personalized gift messages, and they don't even charge for shipping. He/she not a beer drinker? No problem! Send them wine, flowers, chocolate, even teddy bears, peanut butter, dog treats, pizza, or olive oil - and that's still not all. Get more amazing ideas at Amazing Clubs. 6-month Beer of the Month Club membership, $197.70. amazingclubs.com.

They probably don't even know this exists yet. It's 5 MP and works in up to 15 feet of water. The device is worn on the body, making for a much more comfortable, hands-free, swimming experience. And you might want to mention that this is the only camera of its kind. $99.99.amazon.com.

3) Teach Them a Foreign Language . One of the coolest things in the world is learning how to speak another language. Well, now you can easily give that to him or her, thanks to Rosetta Stone. This incredible computer software enables anyone to learn a new tongue in the comfort of their own home, using its state-of-the-art technique. The secret is in how it replicates the natural language learning ability we all used in childhood. If your gift recipient has any doubts, point out that Rosetta Stone is used by NASA, the U.S. State Department, and the U.S. Army. Hopefully, that should do. Choose from 31 different languages. Level I, approx. $249.rosettastone.com

4) Let Him Drive a Stock Car . Has he been everywhere? Bet he's never been behind the wheel of a stock car. Imagine the look on his face as he prepares to drive 8 laps at 140 miles per hour! There are many locations available across the US, and different lengths of time you can book. Or, give him (or her) the experience of bungee jumping, a helicopter tour,
