Amazon and the websites of Walmart and Target undoubtedly will be popular destinations for shoppers. But what if you’re looking for a unique gift for the most unique person on your list?

These seven shopping sites might have the answers for you.
ban.do
If you’re shopping for someone who isn’t the basic black type, ban.do probably has the perfect gift. The shopping site is all about splashes of fun and color. ban.do got its start in 2008, with the creators building it because they wanted to sell items that made people happy. Products include planners and desk stuff, clothing and accessories, and household items. Among the fun items are the pink heart-shaped eye mask for a solid sleep ($18) and the Party Dots leisure pants ($39.99). Check the website for coupon codes.
Everlane
Everlane isn’t where you turn if you’re looking for the season’s fads. Instead, the site bills itself as the place for durable clothing, shoes and accessories that will last for years.

On the order page, you can learn about the factory in Sri Lanka where the pants are made; Everlane visits factories often to see if they pay fair wages and employees work reasonable hours, per the company.
