Why pick gift ideas that start with D? Better question, why not?
Sometimes you just want a theme to tie your gifts for someone together. Or hey, even a whole party!
Once upon a time, I threw a party for my daughter’s 12th birthday, and we called it a “Party on a Stick.”
The invites came glued to popsicle sticks, all the food was kabob style, and you’d best believe we had a pogo stick contest!
My point? It was a little odd, a bit weird, and definitely outside of the box, but you know what? We still remember it as the best party ever.
So, why not get creative and give some gifts that start with the letter D?
We know Danielle, Delaney, David, Dakota, Diego, Dallas, D’Shawn, Dylan, Dana, and all the other D’s will totally approve. What a great idea!
Stick around and we’ll share with you some great gift guides and ideas for the best ways to celebrate with the letter D.

Read on for some awesome “D” presents that we think your friend or family member will get a kick out of!
Delicate Dream Catchers
Isn’t this dream catcher gorgeous? It’s a stunner for sure.
Having one of these grace your wall will not only get you all the compliments from your house guests but it’s said to ward off evil spirits and bad dreams, too. How can you beat that?
It comes in various colors, so you can pick whichever suits your or their home just right.
Duffle Bags
A great duffle bag is worth its weight in gold! And if you happen to have a collection of gold, have we got a bag to lug it around in…
This luxurious weekender bag comes embroidered with your name so it won’t end up in the wrong hands.
It’s so sturdy and oversized, too, so you don’t have to worry about overfilling it for a fun weekend away.
Or, you know, your gold spilling everywhere.
Dear Diary
This leatherette journal comes with your name embossed on the front. That should keep the looky-loos away from your private thoughts.
This pretty diary is also plenty masculine as well, so it’s an ideal gift for any gender and any age. Fun for doodlers and sketchers, too!
Dirt
Yep, you read that right: We recommend buying dirt! Well, the fake dirt anyway (have you seen the price of land recently?).
This fun bucket of delightful and messy “dirt” will keep the kids entertained for hours, long after the allure of Play-Doh and Slime wears off.
The best part? It cleans up a heck of a lot easier than real dirt, so you can put away the Tide.
Diamond Glasses
And from dirt, we segue right into…super sophisticated diamond glasses from Lismore!
We always said we were an eclectic blog.
This gorgeous stemware will awe all of your guests, or make a wonderful wedding or anniversary present for a special someone on a special occasion.
We can almost hear that delightful *diiing* of the toast from here.
Drone
Not just for kids, this drone is for everyone young at heart! The on-board digital camera is a must-have for capturing all of your high-flying adventures, and it’s a great option for beginners, too.
It makes uploading all of your inspiring shots to social media super easy, too. Let the experts from Radclo show you how and get flying.
Doodle Prompt Journal
Do they love to sketch but often run out of ideas? This doodle prompt journal is a great gift idea to get them out of their writer’s block…er, should we say artist’s block?
Such a nice gift idea for the aspiring painter, animator, anime lover, tattoo artist, or YOU.
Date Night Dice
Banish the ever-present question of “What do you want to do tonight, dear?” with a set of these date night dice!

Driftwood Art
A bit boho in its appeal and definitely in with the beach vibes, this driftwood art is so one-of-a-kind!
It’s perfect for sprucing up a dull or boring living room, and would also look amazing in a guest bedroom or bathroom. An excellent gift to give their space that natural, zen feeling.
