Can't find the right gift? Been to every mall and shopping center in town and came up empty - and frustrated? Don't worry, you can always look online for that gift you just can't find anywhere. And don't think it's too late to order online, some online retailers are taking orders until December 22 for delivery by Christmas!
Semaphore staffers racked their brains and plundered their favorites lists to bring you a selection of unique online retailers. So get shopping!
 Back to Basics Toys
Do you have a favorite toy you remember from childhood? Well, chances are it is still being produced and you can find it online at Back to Basics Toys. Anything from Rock'em Sock'em Robots to Mrs. Beasley dolls to the Evel Knievel Super Stunt set!
 The Museum of Useful Things
The name pretty much says it all. The "MUT" offers many unique and well designed items that are, of course, useful while looking cool, elegant, and modern - like the measuring cup pictured on the right.
 Chef's Catalog
Is there a budding gourmand on your list? Have you been running all over town trying to find a Bundt pan that looks like a castle? Chef's Catalog is the site for you. If it's used in the kitchen, Chef's Catalog has it.
 Uncommon Goods
Uncommon Goods says you can find "anything but ordinary" in their online store. After perusing the merchandise, I have to agree. His and Her Key Holders anyone?
 Modern Birdhouses
Birds love modern design, too! Well, we're not really sure they do but they do like shelter so why not give them something stylish? Make your wrens, titmice, and doves the envy of the neighborhood!
 Archie McPhee
There's that one friend (or kooky relative) on your list that has everything and you are always stumped about what to get them. Don't fret, visit Archie McPhee and order them that Boxing Nun, Rubber Chicken or, for the completely irreverent, the Obsessive Compulsive Action Figure!
