Awesome Gift Ideas with Uncommon Goods

How many of you have a hard time picking a birthday gift for a family member or friend? I know I do. My husband's birthday is in a month and I have no idea what to get him. So imagine my surprise and excitement when I was contacted by Uncommon Goods to do a gift guide featuring some awesome finds on their website.

Uncommon Goods is a Brooklyn based company that offers handmade, recycled, and organic products. They created a fantastic program called Better to Give which lets consumers pick a non-profit organization to receive a $1 donation from them. Uncommon Goods is a B Corporation member which is an organization that helps consumers understand how their purchases can help make social and environmental impacts.

When I found out that they wanted to work with me, I was absolutely excited. Usually when I have to shop for a gift, I try to think about what my friend or family member interests are. Eventually, I end up just purchasing a gift card. I usually buy John a gift card to one of his favorite stores, but this year I really want to get him something different. So I decided to check out some unique birthday gift ideas for men on this page. I also found some unique anniversary gifts  here. Uncommon Goods even has amazing gifts for men that would be perfect for a "just because" gift.

Below are some of my favorite gift ideas:

We love coffee mugs and actually have a collection of them. Whenever we go somewhere new, we always make sure to get a mug. This awesome moustache coffee mug would be a perfect gift. You could even pair this mug with some of your recipient's favorite coffee beans or teas.

As I said before, I tend to buy gifts that I know the recipient will love or types of products that fit into the recipient's interest. John is always trying to find something that will be good for shaving and I just love this a DIY kit. This kit is fantastic and comes a recipe book with instructions on how to make shaving serums, a body scrub, a massage oil, hair rinse, and a hair and scalp serum.


I don't think you can ever go wrong with a tool kit. The Fix It Kit is awesome and has a flashlight, pliers, foot tape measure, slot screwdriver, interchangeable handle, four sockets, ten assorted screwdriver bits, and a socket extension.

I really think I found my new go to online shop for unique gifts. I am so glad that I found out about such an amazing company that has great products, wonderful customer service, and has an inspiring mission.

Do you like giving unique gifts? Are you planning to shop for someone soon? 

Thanks for visiting!

Until next time...

  1. Interesting fact: many men describe shaving as a chore but researchers asked them if they'd use new technology that made it unnecessary to shave. Almost all men said no, they'd prefer to keep shaving. The activity of shaving makes men feel good about their masculinity.

    1. That is an interesting fact. I had no idea that so many men felt that way.

  6. I agree. I was so surprised that they have so many gifts for anyone on your list. I have never been able to find a shop where I can buy gifts for everyone on my list until now.
