Think DIFFERENT this holiday! This is a sponsored post for a company whose products I love. I know you’ll love them, too.
If you’re like me, you don’t want to give common holiday gifts. No, if you’re like me, you want to give UN-common holiday gifts. Enter Uncommon Goods, an online retail outlet for unique gifts I know well. I have written about and bought from this site for several years. I love it. It’s aptly named for its uncommon goods.
There are a lot of cool reasons to holiday shop there, including how budget-friendly the high-quality products are, but I’m going to begin with some of the coolest. reasons: the products. I mean, THE PRODUCTS! They’re incredibly cool and there is something for everyone. Let me show you just a few:
Holiday Gifts for men
Absolutely a challenge because the men I know are hard to buy for. But how about some unique, high quality products they can have fun with? Click on any of these Uncommon Goods to see details.
Necktie roll
This $24 necktie travel roll is the perfect gift for the traveling man. Perfect.
If your guy is into cocktails, a few interesting ideas: A barrel-aged cocktail kit allows him to mature his own oak-aged, small batch cocktails. And then, of course, drink them! There’s also an absinthe-making kit, a home-made gin kit and other unique gifts for the cocktail lover in your life.
This is one of my favorite categories at Uncommon Goods. No need to break the bank to get fabulous and fun presents. Love this solar photography kit. For under $15! This bed- or couch-side essentials pocket has my name all over it for $20. I need it to keep my messy living space organized.
Who doesn’t like to save time? A 45-second omelet maker. Easy. And a yummy caramel sampler set? I know who would love that. I also know who would like something else: Chakra bath salts. How about a pocket-sized prompt book so you can tell your mom just what you love about her. I know lots of you would LOVE this.
There are so many I don’t have room to write about them all but click here for all the under $25 gifts–because any of them would make super holiday gifts for the people you love.
Ok, now, another reason I shop at Uncommon Goods. Its goal is to feature unique gifts that are created in harmony with the environment–no harm to animals or people. Based in Brooklyn, the lowest-paid seasonal worker starts at 50% above minimum wage. Half of the products are hand-made and most of the jewelry, home décor and tabletop items US made. About one-third of the entire collection incorporates recycled and/or upcycled materials.
Uncommon Goods believes in using business to impact the world in a positive way. That’s why it supports numerous nonprofits, including the nations’ largest anti-sexual violence organization, programs to respect and restore forests, international humanitarian and early literacy efforts.
Unique, high-quality, budget-friendly gifts by a company that owns its responsibility to its workers and the world. Why NOT shop at Uncommon Goods this holiday and all year!
I am a huge fan of Uncommon Goods and have spent a lot of money on that site! I love that they give back because it makes it easy for me to rationalize shopping!
Holiday Gift Ideas ALREADY! It’s absolutely nuts to me! Where the heck did this year go?! I have to say I am wildly excited for this month though 😉 LOTS is happening!!!
I have always liked Uncommon Goods because they have so many, well, uncommon gifts. It’s a great site when you are looking for something for someone who has everything – which seems to be everyone I know.
I love this site! I’ve shopped with them before. Unique is the key word! And, affordable and environmentally friendly…what could be better. Thanks for getting the wheels turning for this holiday season, Carol!

What a great site- I’d known about them, but needed the reminder – thanks! I am definitely going to take a look for some holiday gifts. I really like what they stand for.
I hate shopping for gifts for men, they’re so difficult to shop for! I also don’t like the idea of giving them the usual sock or tie or perfume. I would love to check this website out and see what they have in store for my Christmas shopping needs!
As the holiday shopping season is officially upon us, I am beginning the task of brainstorming ideas for my shopping list. Thanks for sharing this site, I found several unique gifts which will be perfect for the “hard to shop for” on my list!
That bedside essentials pocket looks useful. I had no idea they were such an ethical, socially- and environmentally-oriented company. I will check them out!
I always love to prefer something unique when it comes to gifting and Uncommon Goods sounds like a great solution for me. My husband being a frequent traveler would love that Necktie roll so much, the upcycled-tent-dopp-kit & that 45-second omelet maker are some great stuff as well!
This is the first time I’ve heard of them, but it seems as though I’ve been missing out. I love those gift ideas for men…especially those affordable prices!
Here you’ll find my blog, some of my essays, published writing, and my solo performances. There’s also a link to my Etsy shop for healing and grief tools offered through A Healing Spirit.

The tie one is cute. I think I need to look into this further but my family is so transparent, it’s like “What do you want?” okay I’ll get it lol
Wow I love the popcorn maker! This is such a great variety! I always go to the store and I feel like I’m always seeing the same thing every year.
I like the omelette maker 🙂

I love uncommon goods. And I especially hate long lines and busy malls during the holidays. Online shopping rocks!
I love this site! The fast omelet maker looks great!
They do have a great price range along with their election. Not just because my company is online but because shopping on line is so easy!
Wow, this is the first time I am knowing about this site–so useful! Love how they have options under $25. I added it to my bookmarks. Thank you!!
I could spend hours looking at all the great things. Must check out the 45 second omelet maker since we make them several times a week.

These are great suggestions! I love Uncommon Goods. I’ve always been happy with everything I’ve ordered from there!
