Finding highly personal, one-of-a-kind gifts that your giftee 1.) wouldn't expect and 2.) doesn't already own can be a challenge. Luckily, there are many websites that can help in your search, whether you want a more standout gift basket, a cuter version of a genuinely useful product, or something for the person who wants nothing.
Below, we rounded up 15 of the best websites to find truly unique gifts, whether it's a beautifully personalized piece or a custom box of their favorite sweets.
Some of our favorite gift websites at a glance:
Uncommon Goods: A website that specializes in unique gifts and products
Greetabl: A gift box website that lets you personalize everything from the gifts to the paper packaging
Thoughtfully: A website that offers both premade gift boxes and custom care packages
Goldbelly: A food gifting website that can deliver regional favorites right to their doorstep
Mark & Graham: A website for sleek personalized gifts
Wolf & Badger is an online marketplace where small, independent brands from around the world can sell their products to a global audience. Think of it as an online department store specifically for small brands: It's a great destination to discover unique products, including handmade and artisan gifts, festive decor, and clothing for men and women. No matter the category, you're bound to find something you've never seen before, like charming cottage-core designs from Fable England (including the necklaces pictured above) or silly kitchenware from Jimbobart.
Like Wolf & Badger, Bespoke Post is an online marketplace of small brands, but with a focus on items for men. You'll find dedicated pages of axes, knives, and tools alongside top-quality kitchenware and home decor. The brand also offers a curated subscription box, in case you'd like someone else to do the shopping for you.
Society6 works with independent artists to create designs that can be printed on nearly everything, from pillows and shower curtains to gift wrap and clothing. You're bound to find a unique design in its collection to suit your giftee.
Whether you want to create something as straightforward as a photo book or as elaborate as a three-piece wall photo, Shutterfly is one of our favorite places to make custom gifts out of photos. The photo editor is incredibly simple to use — all you need is high-res photos to upload.
Using Greetabl's simple gift builder, you can craft a custom gift box in minutes by selecting everything from the packaging to what goes inside. You can choose from an assortment of things like candles, candy, skincare products, gift cards, and other small trinkets like keychains or socks.
Thoughtfully (formerly Knack) offers an incredible variety of beautiful gift boxes for all occasions, whether you're celebrating a birthday or honoring a colleague.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art boasts one of the best art collections in the world, so it's no surprise that its gift store offers an equally curated array of gifts at surprisingly affordable price points. You'll find beautiful, arty gifts for all ages, including jewelry, homewares, and coffee table books.
Rather than offer gift baskets of snacks, Goldbelly ships regional foods all over the country, whether it's Maine lobster rolls or Nashville BBQ. If you don't want to send food directly to the recipient, you can also opt for a simple gift card and let them pick what they're craving.
For a high-quality gift with a touch of personalization, look no further than Mark & Graham. The brand can monogram anything from custom leather handbags to cheeseboards, making a genuinely useful gift a little more special.
Personalization Mall fits its name perfectly: it offers a wide array of products — from blankets to wind chimes — you can customize with someone's name, photos, or a special message.
Goody makes it easy to order gifts without slyly having to ask for someone's address — all you need is their phone number or email. It also covers an incredibly broad range of gifts, from famous desserts to pickleball gear.
