1. Red Bubble
This site specialises in T-shirts, phone cases, wall art, mugs and notebooks, which might not sound especially unique or interesting but it's the number one stop for high-quality unofficial merch for literally any fandom you can possibly think of. Plus, you get a range of styles and sizes on virtually all products.
2. I Want One of Those
You can find some incredible gadgets on IWOOT as well as once-in-a-lifetime experience days, official merch, hampers and some of the most interesting novelty items you have ever come across. Products can be sorted by Gifts for Him and Gifts for Her, and it's got something for all price ranges.
3. Protect the Planet
Recycled gear is bang on trend right now and it's here you'll find all kinds of uniquely crafted products; handbags made from fire hoses, photoframes made from tyres and olive dishes made from wine bottles. Re-purposing and recycling is absolutely the future, and we all must do our bit to help save our world. If any site is going to encourage you to do that, it's this one!
4. Not on the High Street
Yet another "it says it all in the name" shop, Not on the High Street specialises in unique and personalised gifts for all occasions. What's more, curators of the site select products from all kinds of small businesses. There's just something extra special about boutique gifts.
5. Firebox
The ultimate destination for hipsters and lovers of social media. There is far too much unicorn-themed stock and is the best place to find trendy gift ideas. Some of their exclusive items include Deadpool chia pets, "mushions", bread slippers and abusive Christmas cards, but you've also got stuff like spreadable gin, an eggplant emoji sauce bottle and Harry Potter Foundmi key trackers.
6. Everything 5 Pounds
If you're on a tight budget but don't have time to wait for cheap gifts on Amazon or Wish to arrive from China, this site has got you covered. It's basically like an uber cheap ASOS or an online Primark, and they're dedicated to curating decent quality goods for the more frugal of shoppers,
7. Female First
You don't have to look too far to find a great gift if you're already reading this. Check out our Shopping page, and if you're still lost, browse through The Edit for some inspiration on more specific themes!
