Looking for a novel idea for Chrismas gift-giving?
How about a series of gifts on the theme of The Twelve Days of Christmas? I have selected some gift ideas for each day, based on the verses of the popular Christmas carol. The gifts range from silly to swanky, and everything in between. Most of all, this is a really fun, original approach to Christmas gift giving!
The Twelve Days of Christmas: the gift list
without all the repeating lines
Day one: A partridge in a pear tree
Day two: Two turtle doves
Day three: Three French hens
Day four: Four calling birds
Day five: Five golden rings
Day six: Six geese a-laying
Day seven: Seven swans a-swimming
Day eight: Eight maids a-milking
Day nine: Nine ladies dancing
Day ten: Ten lords a-leaping
Day eleven: Eleven pipers piping
Day twelve: Twelve drummers drumming
On the First day of Christmas: a Partridge …
Partridges are small birds such as quail, which are cute AND delicious. You can go for the real thing and give a gift of gourmet partridge. Or perhaps you’d prefer to give a more cuddly version, with a singing plush partridge quail, or an ornamental partridge. Here are some ideas to get you started!

Quail Cookie Cutter
Natural Quail Legs, 2-2.5 lbs
Smoked Cooked Quail
CALIFORNIA QUAIL by Wild Republic
… in a Pear Tree
If you really wanted to, you could perch your partridge among the branches of a real pear tree. Or if you just want to give a nod to the pear tree, choose something smaller, like pear scented body lotion, or a pear gift basket.

Well, as you can imagine, a set of four calling birds is hard to come by these days, but these items will work just as well, and they won’t leave feathers and droppings all over your house! Here are some singing plush birds, which are very chubby and cute. Also, a bird call device, so you can do your own impression of a calling bird, and some recorded bird calls as well.

On the Sixth day of Christmas: Six Geese a-laying
All right, more birds… Unless you really want live geese — and I’m guessing you don’t — we used to have geese when I was little, and they would chase and bite us. I had a friend who refused to get out of the car when her mom brought her over to play, until we chased the geese away. Geese can be scary! But I digress. Here are some fine goose gifts that are guaranteed not to bite.
