New Post: Easy Folded Omelet
Uncommongoods is an amazing marketplace full of beautiful, unique gifts that you’ll be proud to give. I’ve gathered some of my favorite food- and drink-themed gifts to make your shopping a little easier!
Why Shop uncommongoods?
Uncommongoods is headquartered in Brooklyn, NY and focuses on handcrafted gifts that don’t harm animals, the environment, or people (their lowest-paid seasonal workers start at 50% above the minimum wage).
Half of what they sell is made by hand, most right here in the U.S. And about a third of the items they sell are made from recycled or upcycled materials. Many items come with some info about the artist and the product, and how it got to you.
So, you can purchase from uncommongoods knowing that you’re supporting a company that aims to do good things in the world, without sacrificing quality.
I’ve highlighted some of my favorite gifts from the uncommongoods catalogue that center around food and drink, but if you’d like to explore some of their other gifts, you can also check out great stocking stuffer ideas, a fabulous collection of gifts under $25, and a huge collection of gifts under $50.
Gifts for People Who Like to Eat
Cheese “&” Cracker Board
There are so many gorgeous cutting boards available on the uncommongoods site, I had a hard time choosing a favorite. But since I always serve cheese and crackers at parties, I fell in love with this Ampersand board, with a channel for the crackers. Get it? Cheese “&” Crackers??
Pistachio Server
If there’s one food that I hate to put out at parties, it’s pistachios. Why? Because it has a part attached to it that’s not eaten. When you put pistachios out at a party, the question becomes, what do the guests do with the shells? Well, this serving dish have solved the problem.
The Pistachio Pedestal has a bottom tray for the shells. The top and bottom separate easily for cleaning.
Olive Oil Dipping Kit
Dipping good bread into olive oil is truly one of the greatest pleasures in life, and this collection of olive oil dipping herbs and spices elevates this already amazing experience into art.
Chip and Dip Bowl
This adorable little bowl, the Ooma Bowl, is specially designed for chips and dip. Or carrots and dip, as the case may be! It’s easy to hold, has a unique look, and keeps everything separate until you’re ready to dip.
You can find lots more food-related gifts on the website.
Gifts for People Who Like to Drink
From innovative decanters to gorgeous glasses to art made from wine paraphernalia, there’s a lot choose from when it comes to drink-related gifts. Here are some of my favorites.
Stone Drink Dispenser
You can put a little more cave-man in your man-cave with this stone drink dispenser.
Cracked Glass Coasters
Of all of the cool coasters on the site, I think these cracked glass ones are my favorite.
Wine Cork Maps
Make your wine drinking more purposeful with one of these wine cork boards in the shape of a state! They’ve got all fifty to choose from. And if beer is more your style, they also have beer cap state maps.
Wine Dispenser
Like how boxed wine tastes, but not how it looks? Pour it into this beautiful spherical wine dispenser instead!
Ombre Glasses
These gorgeous ombre glasses are handmade in Mexico using bits of colorful, recycled glass.
Happy shopping!
