  1. 12 Uncommon Gifts From Uncommon Goods

AD – this blog post is sponsored by Uncommon Goods.

You’re probably thinking “Christmas has literally just happened, why are you thinking about gifts?!” Well, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared and… dare I say it… Valentine’s Day is in a month. AAH!

Uncommon Goods is a wonderful website that features unique home decor, gifts, and jewellery, from lots of small companies, many of which are handmade, recycled and organic.

Sustainability is a priority to them, they’re always working towards being more environmentally friendly, and they recognise their social responsibility.

This is the type of company that I’m definitely in favour of supporting. When they asked me to check out their website and write a blog post about my favourite uncommon gifts, I got started right away.

12 Uncommon Gifts From Uncommon Goods

Uncommon Gifts from Uncommon Goods

One thing I particularly love about Uncommon Goods is how you can read a little paragraph about the makers of each gift, it makes it a bit more of a personal experience. Anyway, here are my favourite uncommon gift ideas.

For the inner writer within all of us

According to the description, this “snarky guided journal has prompts about bad habits, lost weekends, and advice you wish you’d taken” – I think we all need a journal like this to get us to stop procrastinating!

Great Minds Puzzles: Women in History

“The Great Minds series brings together mentally-demanding puzzles with some of the greatest thinkers in history. Each puzzle pairs play with learning: its design reflects an aspect of the great mind that inspired it, while the set’s box includes a brief history of their life and achievements. This set features five of the greatest female figures in history: Cleopatra’s asp and pyramid, Boudicca’s chariot wheels, Queen Victoria’s cross, Marie Curie’s asteroid, and Florence Nightingale’s lamp. Perfect for any science whizz or history maven, they’ll inspire addictive, puzzle-solving obsession.” I NEED THESE WOMEN IN HISTORY PUZZLES£17.23.

Myself and most of my friends are all graduating from King’s College London this year, so graduation is something we’ve all started to think about. Uncommon Goods have some absolutely beautiful graduation gifts, including some stunning necklaces like this “Reach For The Moon” one (£47.17):
