$50 UNCOMMON GOODS GIVEAWAY (you don't want to miss this!)

My dear, dear friends.

Are you done with your Christmas shopping? I bet you're not. Not that I don't have faith in you or anything... but come on, we're all too busy to be that prepared these days-right?

Insert UncommonGoods. If you already know about UncommonGoods, ignore these next sentences:

So this company based in New York (working out of the Brooklyn Army Terminal-so cool!) has the widest array of unique gifts you didn't even know you needed to give. Over half the items for sale are handmade- most of which being made in the USA, and a third being made of recycled or up-cycled materials. Doesn't that just make you feel good buying it then? I bet it does.

Now if you are interested in just looking on your own and not entering the giveaway- run on over to see cool Christmas gifts for men (here), women (here), or anything/pet in between (here).

Wait- you're continuing on and want to see what gifts I love? Aw, Shucks. They're all under $50- did I mention that? You'll surprise your loved ones with a cool gift, and you won't cry when you see your wallet afterwards. Fab.

1. Have a mom that's hard to shop for? Instead of just a bouquet of flowers, give her this little Caterpillar Bud Vase! (for more gifts for the ladies, click here)

2. Is there a science nerd who loved to drink in your midst? Give them this Mojito Molecular Mixology kit!

3. We all have that health nut friend. Give them a water infuser so they can sip on their ginger lemon water all day long- and in style!

4. For the party planning bud- this slate cheese plate with chalk is sure to please.

5. I know you have a wine-o friend (hint: me), so give them these sweet tea towels that have wine and food pairings on them (hint: send them to me).

6. Not sure what to get your dude? This wood beer caddy comes with a metal bottle opener- manly AND useful. (For more guy gifts, click here).

7. These oil & vinegar holders do double duty for the animal and the food lover. You can't go wrong!
