Favorite Gift Finds at UncommonGoods
Favorite Gift Finds at UncommonGoods
*Note: This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of UncommonGoods. As always, opinions and words are mine - I only partner with brands that I love and that I think yall would too! Thanks for supporting MRFB in this way. See my full disclosure notice at the bottom of the page.
Im always on the hunt for new and unique sources for gifts for folks, so when I ran across UncommonGoods, I knew I had to come share some of my favorite finds with yall. Considering were entering a big gift giving season soon (Mothers/Fathers Day, graduations, weddings, anyone?!), Ill bet you have some shopping to do in the coming months.
UncommonGoods certainly provides a great source for new and unique gifts, but what I really love about this company is that theyre focused on being an online marketplace for emerging artisans, makers in low-income countries, and handmade pieces. Each item has a story behind it and they want to make sure you have a chance to hear it. Also, every time you make a purchase they donate $1 to your choice of one of their non-profit partners. Isnt that cool? You can read more about the company and its values here.
Alright, lets get to the good stuff! Ive pulled together a list of my favorites from the UncommonGoods website, including a couple of items that they were kind enough to send me for this post!
1 | Layered Block Print Table Runner
This table runner caught my attention because of its funky mixed patterns, pom pom trim and modern-meets-boho vibe. It was one of my picks for our new dining table and I think it looks great in there!
This would make a great gift for someone who like me who loves to entertain. Perhaps it would even make a great wedding or Mothers Day gift? (P.S. if youre on the hunt for Mothers Day gifts, UncommonGoods has a great selection over here.)
2 | Gilded Branches Jewelry Tree
If youve got pretty jewelry, why not display it on something pretty? This jewelry tree certainly fits that bill.
3 | Succulent Living Wall Planter
I think yall have probably figured out by now that I have this thing for succulents. Theyre easy to keep alive and pretty to look at. If I had a wall that got some great sun exposure, Id be all over this wall planter!
4 | Coral Carved Hanging Planter
Speaking of plants, heres another planter I thought was very pretty. It would be perfect on a front porch.
5 | Free Form Bulletin Board
The organizer in me really liked this bulletin board for an entryway, command center or office.
6 | Neighborwoods Map Coasters
Local art gets my attention every time, and these wood coasters with snippets of city neighborhoods are awesome. They had Philadelphia on their list of available cities and I almost pulled the trigger on them, but realized that I already have three sets of coasters in our house. I probably dont need a fourth. :) I love when gifts have some sort of personalized element (there are more items like that here if youre in the market!).
7 | Woven Daily Crossbody Bag
This is the other item that came home with me. I love crossbody bags and this one goes with just about any casual outfit. I tend to bike a lot in the city and this kind of bag works perfectly for that. It holds the essentials, but has room for extras when needed.
8 | Whale Booties
Another kind of event Im headed to often these days is baby showers. While its always great to snag something for those off the mom-to-bes registry, unexpected, adorable little things (like the ones over here at UncommonGoods) are always fun too!
I hope these ideas have inspired you to think outside the box the next time youre in the market for a gift! Do you have a favorite source for unique gifts?
Have a great start to your week, friends!
