Get Your Gift on With UncommonGoods

Let’s just get the c word out of the way shall we. Yes Christmas. Those of you mega organised types will already be on the case but most of us will just be starting to think about it now. Some of us might even have even been known to leave it until Christmas Eve.

During my web escapades I discovered a lovely online emporium UncommonGoods which will certainly be on my gift buying circuit – it’s Brooklyn based with worldwide shipping. The company has been B Corp certified since 2007. B Corporation is a third party certification scheme that independently accesses a company’s sustainability practices. I like their ethical stance of offering products made with sustainable/recycled/upcycled materials, nothing made with fur, feathers, leathers or pearls, using environmentally friendly packaging and donating $1 from every order to charity. Since 2001 they’ve donated over $1 million!

I’m sure you know me well enough by now to know that I’m not really a big fan of mass produced goods. Give me hand crafted, artisan, indie, small batch, emerging…..well you get the drift. That’s exactly what UncommonGoods offers.

Here’s my pick of ten items that would make the perfect gift (or go on Treat YoSelf – I won’t tell).

    I’m afraid it sounds like I’m a recovering alcoholic, but I find the wooden wine glasses and the himalayan salt shot glasses particularly gorgeous 😀 Hashtag Russian af.

        I said that (perhaps it was my pronounciation but i’m sure she got the gist) and was informed snottily *nobody* says that in Russia. I then asked oh ok what’s the correct saying and was told it was far too complicated for my little brain to comprehend (paraphrasing here lolz) as it depends on the situation. Whatevs!

        Aaah, the “Russian soul” brand of snob. We’re so darn complicated. 🙄 While it’s true that there are many different ways to say “cheers” in Russian (many are borrowed, just like in many other languages, cin-cin and all) and many Russians are sick and tired of the wrong, Polish “nasdrovye” thrown an them in every movie trope, there is nothing wrong with the “na zdorovye” or “vashe zdorovye” (=”your health”), in particular for foreigners. I apologise for my compatriot’s moody manners 💚

        P.S. That is to say I am myself often guilty of being similarly snotty (but only – kind of – if I’m being bothered by the person I’m talking to). Now coming to think of it… I *do* sound snotty even if I don’t mean to sometimes. Oh my, we’re godawful people! 😱🤐🤣
