Uncommon Goods is, without a doubt, one of my favorite shopping destinations online. Whenever someone asks me for gift ideas, I literally say, "I would like anything featured on Uncommon Goods." I don't care what it is, since the site does such a great job with providing some of the coolest gadgets and cutest home decor options of all time.
I stand by the fact that it's a great place for gifts. One of the reasons why is because Uncommon Goods depends on a lot of local artists to craft some of its merchandise. That means that most of its offerings are things you can't readily get anywhere else. Your gift will be unique and special. And everything the site sells is well-crafted. It's obvious that those who make products sold on the site care deeply about their work.
Since the holidays are coming up soon, here are a few great gift ideas that anyone on your shopping list will appreciate.
Recycled Glass Tree Globes
Beautify your life with these incredible glass globes from Stephen Kitras. Perfect to decorate a table with or put someplace where the sun will reflect through the glass. Each one is meant to help celebrate a strong bond or relationship, so this would be wonderful for either a parent or a significant other.
Geode State Ornament
I don't care how old you are — geodes will always be cool. These ornaments are great for someone who just moved out of state, or maybe misses their home state due to the inability to travel back and visit. It's thoughtful and will help bring much-needed holiday cheer.
Sunflower Grow Kit
Sunflowers bring such peace and joy. And now you can spread those happy spring feelings by gifting a grow-your-own set. This is great for someone who wants to start learning more about gardening.
New Horizons Necklace
Uncommon Goods also sells a lot of beautiful jewelry, including these necklaces, which are sold separately. You can get one in Sun or Wave, but both are gorgeous, understated choices that symbolize a positive year ahead.
Mother's Love Mugs
Looking for a good idea for your mom? These unique mugs are perfect, especially if she's a big fan of coffee or tea in the morning. It's enough to give her a subtle reminder first thing in the morning that she's loved and appreciated. You can choose between elephants, fawns, cubs, or ducklings.
Heart-to-Heart Timer Sculpture
This simple yet magnificent sculpture would be a great gift to someone who is long distance. This kinetic heart sculpture is visually appealing and also great for someone who either wants to focus more in the new year or needs a therapeutic break. The heart swings for about 40 minutes.
Reversible Glass Vase
Vases always make for great gifts, since they will inspire the recipient to display more fresh flowers. And fresh flowers are a great way to help their homes be cheery and bright, regardless of the amount of snow that may fall outside. Being able to use this vase two different ways is quite clever.
Choose Your Dog Breed Umbrella
Do you have someone in your life who loves their dog? Surely you do. Dogs are incredible, and those who own one are often quite proud. Now they can showcase their pride even during a rainy day. This umbrella comes in plenty of different breeds, from dachshund to Welsh corgi.
Dog Breed Cheese Boards
On the topic of dog breeds, how about this fabulous cheese board? Even if you don't plan on entertaining this year (which is likely a smart move), anyone lucky enough to receive this can also make themselves a gorgeous-looking cheese platter while settling in to watch the latest Hallmark Christmas movie.
Portable Fidget Spinner Tool
As a trend, fidget spinners may be on their way out — but for people who actually need them to help them focus, they're still very cool. This one doubles as a multitool, which means it'll always be handy to have around. Now anyone can have two straight screwdriver bits, two Phillips, and two Torx tips in their pocket at all times.
