Life After I "Dew"

This post is sponsored by UncommonGoods but all my opinions are my own.

It's that time of year again. Time to rack your brain, trying to figure out the perfect gifts.  If you're like me you hate giving gift cards because it's just so impersonal.  You also want to makes sure you get something really cool, something that no one else would think of.  Let's be honest, gift-giving can be a little bit stressful but it doesn't have to be.

Enter UncommonGoods.

UncommonGoods is a privately-owned retailer that endeavors to feature unique jewelry, designer décor, tabletop items, and handcrafted gifts created in harmony with the environment without harm to animals or people.  As an independently-owned business, they have the freedom to support causes they believe in and to impact the world in a positive way. With every purchase you make, they will proudly donate $1 to the non-profit of your choice.  Since they started the Better to Give program 12 years ago, they’ve donated over $1 Million to charities around the world!

A quick glance at their site and you'll see some amazingly unique gift ideas for your dad, mom, kids, husband, grandparents, friends and you can be assured your gift will not be duplicated by anyone else.  I rounded up a couple of my favorite things I'll be gifting this year.


1.  Space Pod Playhouse.  How fun is this little playhouse? I don' know about you but my kids LOVE a fort hideout. This one is awesome too because it comes with tools so kids can help assemble it {ages 4+}.  Another fun thing to do would be to give them some markers and let them color it just how they'd like it.

2.  Bubble-Wrap Calendar.  Guys I can't even with the cuteness of this gift.  Who doesn't love bubble wrap?!  Now you can pop, pop, pop your way through they year with this unique calendar.  I absolutely adore this and I'm trying to think of how many people I can gift it to this year.

3.  Popcorn Bowl with Kernel Sifter.  I don't know about you but we eat A LOT of popcorn in my house.  The kids love nothing more than having a movie night with a big ole bowl of popcorn.  We always run into the problem of kernel though and lately James has been eating them if I don't pick them all out of his bowl.  So this is a MUST for our house.

4  Construction Plate & Utensils.  Want to make meal time more fun and *hope* that your darling will eat more of his/her food?  This fun plate might help!  My kids are suckers for when I serve up their food in a creative way and they ALWAYS eat more when I do so.  They also make this in a pink garden version too.

So, what do you think?  Pretty cute stuff, huh?  Like I said, I think you can be assured that your gift will not be duplicated this holiday season.
