Holiday Gift Ideas from UncommonGoods and Yarn Bowl Giveaway!

Uncommon_MainImage

December is here and holiday shopping is in full swing! If you are struggling to find that perfect gift for everyone on your list, I have the solution: UncommonGoods.com! I have personally been a fan of this privately-owned online retailer for many many years. I love that I can always find the most wonderful unique designs and handcrafted gifts for everyone in my family all in one place. I promise I’m not getting paid to say that! I purchased these cufflinks for my hockey-obsessed husband a few years ago, this Ticket Stub Diary when we first got married, these Wine Pairing Towels ended up being a perfect hostess gift, and this handy-dandy Pick Punch for the guitarist in our family. So you can imagine my excitement when UncommonGoods reached out to me to collaborate! I have picked out a few of my favorite gifts under $50 to show you PLUS the good people at UncommonGoods are allowing me to host a giveaway! One lucky reader will win a beautiful handmade yarn bowl!

UncommonGoods takes the stress out of my holiday shopping. Their websites is organized into several categories to make the shopping experience easy. Search by price, person, interest, and more. So many ideas and truly fun and exclusive items. Gifts under $50 (click here) and gifts under $25 (click here) are my go-to spots! But more than that, this company supports crafters and designers like me and you! Their mission is to provide a platform for artists; in fact, half of what they sell is made by hand and about one-third of their entire collection incorporates recycled and/or upcycled materials. And with every purchase, UncommonGoods donates $1 to their not- for-profit partner organizations. They have donated to over $1,000,000 dollars to charities around the world!

Below are some of my favorite gifts. Even items for the avid crocheter!
Visit UncommonGoods to browse even more ideas and stocking stuffer items.

The Crochet Stitch Encyclopedia immediately caught my eye! Detailed tutorials and clear images make a great reference for beginners and seasoned crocheters. Find it here.

I then spotted Percy the Pencil Porcupine and although it is advertised as a colored pencil holder, we all know what it really needs to be used for: CROCHET HOOKS! Find it here.

This Mug Hoop was a serious hit with my kids! Make a basket with cereal or marshmallows for hot cocoa! My boys are already fighting over who gets to use it. I will have to buy another. Good thing they also come in a soccer, hockey, football, and baseball versions! Click here to view them all.

Hubby scored these super cool Men’s Shark Socks! Fun for those business-casual work days or just hanging around at home 🙂

And for me, the hard working mommy and full-time blogger, I get to slip on this adorable Felt Fox Sleeping Mask and snuggle up with my crochet christmas blanket. I could already use a nap and it’s only December 3rd!

  25. Thank you for introducing this unusual company… Went shopping for myself…but would love to win a Sherman the sheep yarn bowl.. We seem to have the same taste in quite a few areas. I send everyone I know who crochets to your site. You are soooo easy to understand and follow, I love the way you list the stitch count at the end of each row. It has certainly helped me to improve my crocheting…. Thanks again. Mimito8

    • What's wrong with "Lady"??! I actually loathe the term &qnau;Womot"…I don't know why, I suppose to me it sounds so ancient. Lady sounds sweet…you can always be a lady, no matter what age you are 🙂 And honestly, those that you photograph are LADIES!!! Stylish, sweet, well put together…everything wonderful.Someone will always be upset about something. I think you're doing just fine ^^

  78. The porcupine hook holder is adorable! I honestly don’t know what one thing I would like best — they have so many unique items that I’m sure to be a repeat customer!

    Reply

  81. I’ve resisted the idea of using a yarn bowl because of my two inquisitive kitties. But those I saw on Uncommon Goods are interesting and just might entice me to make the switch. I’d love to win one of those. I also liked the crochet stitch encyclopedia, but their site showed it is sold out already. Boo! Those little measuring spoons shaped like music notes are also adorable, but too pricey for me right now (limited spending to my Christmas list only).

  87. Uncommon goods has so many unique items that I love, but one of my favorites is their birth month flower pendant! So pretty.

    Reply

  91. Oh, my, they have so many wonderful things. I realllllly love the porcupine crochet hook/pencil holder. I also really liked the silver dipped silver necklace!

  95. You had me at the sheepy yarn bowl!! I must have it. There is also a pretty sweet unicorn bowl that needs to come live with me! 🙂

    Reply

  99. As a senior I’ve been around for awhile, and the Sheep yarn bowl takes me back to times on the farm in SD listening to the sounds of deep “baaaa” while laying in bed at night so that’s my favorite! I also loved the owl or fox sleep masks since the mask I made and wear is worn out!

    Reply

  109. I’d never heard of this site before but just checked it out and they have some pretty awesome stuff. Would love a yarn bowl or people feeders (I think they’d be fun at kids birthday parties lol) or a talk dock. Lots and lots now that I’ve started looking lol. Thanks for making me aware of this site

  172. What a great giveaway! I love, love, love the Sherman bowl. Did not look for other yarn bowls, because this is the only one i want. 🙂

    Off course I looked in the webshop of uncommen goods…. WHY did i not knew this site before? I live in the Netherlands and we are celebrating St. Nicolas tonight (5th) with a lot of gifts and hot chocolate milk. It is too late for order these gifts… Now i am looking an excuse to buy toys for my girls (2 and 6) I REALLY hope the oldest will get her swimming diploma verry soon. Because mama want to buy the stop motion clay, or the Penny portret, or string art kit. LOVE IT!

  174. Gah! Everything they have is perfection! I love the rainbow unicorn coffee mug. I am also a huge fan of their options…homemade and recycled…I’m sold!

    Reply

  177. Thank you for the link! I can’t wait to score a couple of unique goodies for my husband and kiddos. And if I happen to leave a browser window open to the blackberry jam or birdie yarn bowl page… you know, where hubby may stumble upon it… well…

  180. This. Is. The. Coolest. Site. Ever. I am going to make my entire wishlist from here… And yarn, of course! LOL. How can you pick a favorite? There’s too many neat things! But if forced… I guess the hedgehog pencil holder would be my pick because I love hedgies! (my pet hedgie makes me say that they are awesome or he will poke me 😉 ) And I really like the idea of it holding hooks!

  182. I love this new website you shared with us! I love the cereal bowl for my kids, but I would love a yarn bowl, one day! Thanks for all your tips and tutorials. 🙂
