Today’s giveaway is from UncommonGoods, one of my favorite online boutiques for the best in unusual gift ideas and unique gifts. Founded more than a decade ago, the New York City-based company believes that creativity and individuality represent two great human treasures. They feature such cute gifts for men, women and kids alike, such as jewelry, art, home decor and games and puzzles.
For the last three years, I’ve included UncommonGoods in many of my Holiday Gift Guides, and with the holidays right around the corner, they’re poised to be your one-stop shop for everything from stocking stuffers to gifts under $25! So when they invited me to participate in a giveaway, I jumped at the chance! I chose some of my favorite items from the site, like this USA scratch map for my mom, this Novel Tea Set for my sister and this cool cat glass for obvious reasons.
They’re giving one reader a $50 gift certificate so she can add some quirky fun to her life! What items would you choose, friends? There’s so much to choose from!
