Interesting or Unique Online Stores

Do you know how you start looking for one thing on the internet, then you get sidetracked, and after a while you forget what you were originally searching for? Gosh, I hope it's not just me and early-onset Alzheimers. :( ANYWAY, I don't remember WHAT got me sidetracked but I ended up on a question and answer site called Metafilter and the question was something like, "Where can I find some unique Christmas gift ideas?"

There were a ton of responses, including many online stores I had never heard of, and I thought I'd share the post here in case you were also looking for off-the-beaten-path gift ideas:

Also, you may want to bookmark Ask.Metafilter.com -- looks like a good place to find answers when you can't find 'em anywhere else.
