Gifting 101: Plan way ahead of time and stress less. Whether it’s that wonderful time of the year or just a special occasion for that special someone, gifting should be an enjoyable and memorable experience. I love gift items with more than just the aesthetic. I go for personality and a really good backstory, too. So the person receiving my gift knows that care and thought went into it. The value becomes so much more, and granted; you’ll make someone very, very happy.

The majority of items are made in the USA and one-third of the collection comprised of recycled or upcycled materials. This is not just online shopping. It is shopping with good intentions and making a difference. And through Uncommon Goods, you get a chance to be a part of that.
