Recently I was contacted by the lovely people over at UncommonGoods to see if I would be interested in taking a look at some of the lovely products they have on offer over at their website- especially for the festive period.
I was quite excited by the prospect of being asked to look through their website as lets be totally honest with ourselves, there really is nothing better than a little bit of online shopping. So I took myself over to their website and was pleasantly surprised to learn some very positive things about their working ethos and company.
The main thing that delighted me was that they think about sustainability with every decision they make and product they sell. They are striving to provide products on their website that "do no harm to people or animals." I think it is amazing to be able to pick products from a website and feel satisfied that the choice I am making is a positive one for the world around me.
Hot Toddy Diagram Glasses
Coffee and Doughnut Earring Set
Now Onto The Exciting Bit....
They have such a vast range of products arranged into collections to make it easy to find unique items for your friends and family. I am going to focus on three of their collections and show you some of the products that I think stand out the most.
Birth Month Mini Dish
From the moment I saw these hand made dishes I thought they would be perfect for friends and family. Being the colour of your birthstone adds the personal touch to make each gift unique to the person who is getting it.
As soon as I saw these I fell in love. Sometimes in winter all you need is a hot toddy - hot whiskey, depending on where you are from - to make everything feel better! It is the best cure for the cold that I know and I can imagine sitting with one of these glasses by the fire sipping away!
Dog Bowl - Slow Eating
Now I couldn't very well go through this post without including something for the pets of our lives - lets face it I am canine crazy! My fur baby has benefited to no end from her slow eating bowl but I have to say that I love the design of this one as it is totally different to any that I have seen! Perfect for your furry best friend.
Friends Heart Mug
Now if you know me I love giving and receiving mugs - I am a bit of a collector it has to be said. This mug is stunning and lets your best friend know just how much they mean to you.
Book Scarves
We all have that friend in life who loves books and loves scarves. For me this is such an amazing combination of the two, they can have the words of their favourite novel printed on a stunningly beautiful scarf!!
Coffee and Doughnut Earring Set
I don't know about you but I love mismatched earrings. As someone who has three lobe piercings in each ear, I get rather bored having everything matching all the time. These would make the perfect gift for someone a bit like myself who enjoys eccentric gifts that are cute and useful!!
USA Whiskey Tumbler
It may just be the nerd in me but I think finding a glass with the American constitution on it is pretty class. I have always had a love for all things USA, especially the politics and this would make the perfect addition for anybody similar.
Water Bottle Infuser
Water bottles are all the rage these days. Everyone you see is walking around with one, no matter how big or small they are. I think having the fruit infuser in the centre of this water bottle makes it a little more special and to be honest who doesn't want a little fruity water in their life?
Shot Glasses
Even though we shouldn't.. who doesn't love a little shot or two? Having a shot glass lying about is always advisable and I think that these are so cute telling you what a bad idea it all is! What could be better.
Need a Little Help?
So there we have it some of my top tips from some of UncommonGoods collections this season. Although it has to be said, sometimes all we want is something that can help us come up with the perfect gift idea! Well they've even thought of that!
Sunny is their new expert gift finder, which you can try out here. All you have to do is tell him what interests the person you are looking for has and he will produce a variety of products for you to look at... amazing!!
I had a really fun time looking through all the products that are on offer and I especially love how everything is ethically sourced and is handmade or organic. It can be hard to find the right gifts at this time of year and I think getting something unique for the ones you love makes everything more special.
What kind of gifts do you like to give?
What do you think of the ones I've picked?
Uncommon really is a good thing!
*Disclaimer - I have not been sent any products in advance of this post but have been offered to choose a selection of products to receive from the site in return for this post. #ad
