Unique Websites for Gifts???

[1Steve68]

I always like to find interesting sites for gifts that are not the usual crap for sale in high street shops.
If you know of any sites with "different" stuff, please share.

No hints, tips, or suggestions chaps???
The gift(s) are going to be for a 90 year old Mum so needs to be tasteful and quite exclusive (but not too expensive!)

For one of my mum's birthdays, I got her a book of newspaper front page headlines from her birthdate.

I used to be a big fan of Manufactum, but they don't seem to ship to the UK any more. Another Brexit benefit.

87% of their reviews on trustpilot are one star (from 5). I’d avoid.

That's a cool idea. Did you get one of those off Notonthehighstreet??

My Mum's 90 now. Can't remember all the sites I've used over the years for different stuff but most were abroad (mainly EU/Africa/Japan). Running out of options now though for unique stuff in UK.

Maybe not 90 year old Mum stuff but I buy these when the description or name resonates with the recipient.
