If you like beautiful, artsy objects and furniture (or the someone you are trying to buy gifts for is someone like that), you probably know about Etsy or the CB2-type. You know, the kind of places that produce Pinterest-worthy stuff. The kind of things for the REI social class (the yuppies who will pay $30 for a camping can opener because it's two grams lighter).
Here are a few lesser known stores where you can get unique items:
Apt2B.com
LA-based store that sells modern furniture, lamps, and houseware. It's not just limited to getting stuff for modern architecture and interiors, they also sell a lot of whimsical objects. Try the trash chute for discontinued items.
ShanaLogic.com
Handmade objects for people you like craftsy stuff but don't have the time to glue those damned felt pieces and random buttons together.
AreaWare.com
Brooklyn-based store that features interesting functional objects from various designers. You can get whimsical objects like a hardwood alarm dock for iPhones.
