Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “Unlike many candles we’ve had in the past, and we’ve had many, these smell very pure and natural. And they don’t give me headaches. These will have you continually removing the cork covers just to smell them!” —Dom

She is a bit of a wine connoisseur and a beautiful musician! It’s like they were made for her.” —Brooklyn

Colorful solar-powered LED tealights you can hang from your trees or porch.
Uncommon Goods

4.
A personalized goodnight book to read to your little ones before bed. This beautifully illustrated custom book will make your child the star in an imaginative adventure sure to lull them into a sweet sleep.
Uncommong Goods
Promising review: “This book was the first one read to my grandson. His parents love reading it, and the personalization is better than I could have expected. His name is used on almost every page. It’s just adorable. The book is worth more than what I paid for it!!!” —Foster
Price: $35
5.
A ginger beer kit that comes with everything you need to make your own tasty Moscow Mules. The kit even comes with two copper mugs, so turn your standing desk into a bar and serve yourself a happy hour drink!
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “What describes the perfect gift? Part science experiment, part culinary experience, something to be enjoyed over and over again! And what you create is a tasty beverage, that can be enjoyed by the whole family; kids can drink it plain while the adults can mix it however they like. Highly recommend.” —Me

6.
Kabob grilling baskets for making the perfect BBQ treat this summer.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “These are a time-saver for grilling veggies. It used to take me 30 minutes to painstakingly thread veggies onto skewers, and they would frequently split. Now I just load them in the baskets and carry them out on a sheet pan. It’s easy to brush on marinade through the wires. I have a small grill and these fit just fine and even have room left over for veggie burgers. I was worried the grill lid wouldn’t close, but it does. These are well designed, and I’m going to get another set so I can have grilled veggie leftovers for the week.” —Kiki
Price: $17
Uncommon Goods
Check out the full list of lakes available!
Promising review: “I purchased this as a gift for my brother who lives on a small lake in Michigan where he’s hosted our family for a reunion. This lake is VERY small, so I was shocked that this perfect item was available. He displays it on his coffee table and loves that it shows the depths of the lake.” —Karen
Price: $98+ (available in four sizes/styles)
8.
A handmade self-draining soap dish – it lets excess water flow away, keeping soapy puddles at bay. Keep your bar soaps around longer with this ceramic sculpture.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “I was using a washcloth to keep soap dry…then a plastic soap dish, then a soapstone dish with drainer all-in-one, which was heavy and difficult to clean. All were tacky-looking or cumbersome and still required a bit of cleanup. This beautiful soap holder is lovely to look at and utilitarian. It sends the soap residue right down the drain.” —Steph
Price: $24
9.
A scratch-off poster that lets you turn your reading list into art! Read your way through these 100 books and scratch them off as you go.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “Love these scratch-off posters! I have ordered and gifted a variety of them. This one, though, may be my favorite. It’s such a blast to give to someone but also look at together with a group and see how many each of you has read. The poster is actually pretty thick and good quality for the price. The scratch-off sections work really well and the residual scratch off dust doesn’t stick to the poster the same way a lot of these do.” —AllSmiles
Price: $15 (available in two styles)
10.
A handmade meditation mug with a labyrinth surface, so you can clear your mind as you sip your favorite brew.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “A hefty stoneware mug with large capacity, lovely aesthetics (a striking labyrinth image set against gorgeous two-tone glaze), and a built-in mindfulness exercise. A wonderful addition to my mornings!” —JP
Price: $35

A 5-in-1 pen that will make you feel like the handy spy-carpenter-math teacher you are deep down! It features a screwdriver, capacitive touch stylus for smart devices, bubble level, ruler, and pen with clip, so you’ll never be caught unprepared.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “I wanted a tool that I could when I wasn’t in my office or at home. It’s the perfect weight for a pen, but also has so many other uses. I bought one for myself as well as for a gift exchange. Love having all these tools (pen, screwdriver, and ruler) in one object.” —Peel
Price: $25
12.
A baseball game you can (safely) play in your living room. Roll the dice and batter up!
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “I did not think such a simple game could be so much fun! My dad is a Yankees fan, and his basement is filled with sports and drinking signs. He loved it and is still undefeated.” —Em
Price: $68 (available in 27 home teams)
13.
A subtle and delicate zodiac necklace with stars arranged in the astrological constellation of your choice.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “Finally, zodiac jewelry in silver! I love this delicate and understated piece because it’s unique and fits my style without being too bulky. The adjustable chain length is an added bonus. All the more special because I got it as a gift from a dear friend.” —Cat
Price: $38 (available in 10 zodiac signs)
14.
A lavender pillow you heat for two minutes to create a calming and muscle-relaxing experience that also smells like heaven.
Uncommong Goods

Price: $10
18.
The Intersection of Love print – it’ll always guide your love home. Customize this with you and your boo’s names and the year you met!
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “I bought this as a five-year anniversary gift for my husband. Turns out he almost bought the same thing for me! How’s that for the intersection of love? It looks beautiful hanging in our living room. I opted to only add our wedding year and not the current year because to me it seemed like either a) the marriage only lasted five years (2015-2020), or b) I would have to buy another one every five years so that it wouldn’t seem like the marriage only last five years! Personal preference.” —Bejuled
Price: $75+ (available unframed or in any of five frame materials).
19.

Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “We often forget how many places our phone goes with us and how many things it touches. It can so easily slip onto the floor (public bathrooms, movie theaters, etc). It feels good to know I can keep my phone with me without bringing all those germs to bed. This product is extremely easy to use.” —Nikolas, Fellow Student
Price: $80
21.

23.
A sand art sculpture that changes every time you rotate it. This handmade charmer will delight you and your guests with its glittering landscapes.
Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “When this first arrived, I was discouraged because the sand fell very quickly and did not produce any of the advertised effects. If this happens to you, don’t fear! You just need to add more air. I was intimidated but after reading the instructions, it was a very easy fix and the sand fell perfectly, creating mountains and really wonderful. Definitely worth the investment!” —Chels
Price: $95
24.
A geode puzzle sure to give you flashbacks to seventh grade Earth Sciences class. Each piece was cut to resemble a geode’s actual crystalline structure.
Uncommon Goods
Each puzzle is 160-180 pieces, so they might not take long to finish, but would totally be worth framing because they’re truly gorgeous!
Promising review: “I love the jagged shape of each piece and the vivid colors! The larger shaped pieces added interest and anchors to solving the puzzles. Interesting to note the picture on my box of the pink puzzle was reversed so the location of the larger pieces was different – made me ‘think outside the box!'” —Gram
Price: $65
25.

Uncommon Goods
Promising review: “So far I’ve used this kit to make mozzarella. It was my first time ever making cheese, and it turned out great! It was fun and easy. I recommend watching the video a few times before starting. My mozzarella turned out tasty, and I used it to make a pizza.” —Amanda
Price: $29
