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!
Now here is something for YOU!
The good people at UncommonGoods have offered to host a GIVEAWAY for one of their fabulous handcrafted yarn bowls! The winner will get to choose which one they want! My two favorites are the Sherman the Sheep Yarn Bowl and the Birdie Yarn Bowl but you can see them all here. Contest is open Worldwide! Enter using the Rafflecopter Widget below.

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 ^^

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).

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!

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!
This bowl is incredible ! I love this giveaway 🙂

Every year I can’t wait for the Uncommon Goods catalog to arrive. It has saved me so many times for the hard-to-buy-for person on my list.
I would love to give my mom or daughter one of those yarn bowls.
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!
Love these gift ideas!! Thanks for sharing! I loved all the bowls 🙂
