Thinking Ahead

I know we all hate to hear it but Christmas is looming, there are only 13 weekends left until the big day. Madness I know! I hate to be the bearer of this news but around now is the time I start thinking of gifts and presents.

I know I'm a planner, I over-organise, and I'm always looking for new places to buy gifts from- I strive to find the perfect presents.

I recently came across the UncommonGoods* website they offer creative and exciting merchandise from suppliers such as artists and small manufacturers. All the products they sell are environmentally friendly and they are committed to selling products that do not harm people or animals. Another added bonus they ship their products worldwide.

With that in mind I thought I would share with you some of my favourite gift ideas from their website. They have a lot of beautiful and unique pieces as well as some fantastic stocking fillers - I might even convince you to start your shopping early.

There are plenty of other Christmas gift ideas available for you to look at on the site.

1. Gummy Bear Lights 

        Such a cute and colourful idea you squeeze the bears tummies and they light up. The perfect gift for fans of anything cute and quirky.

2. Reach for the Moon Charm Necklace 

I love giving thoughtful gifts and this delicate silver necklace holds meaning and includes semi precious stones. Each stone promotes different well wishes and all are wrapped up in a beautiful charm finish. 

3. Men's Meerkats Socks

I feel socks are a standard gift that everyone gives and receives, if you don't get any socks as a present is it even Christmas? These meerkat socks for men are an idea different to the Christmas socks of the norm. I can't think of anyone who is not a fan of meerkats and I know my Dad would love these!

4. Farm Fresh Spa Tin Experience

Did somebody say homemade spa products? Yes please! The perfect treat for Mom, Grandma or any other woman in your life. Included products are Lavender Goat's Milk Bath Tea, a Bath Truffle, Wedding Cake Whipped Shea Creme and a Hint of Mint Lip Balm.

While this product does not ship to the UK there are plenty of other gift options available for the women in your life be that your mom, your girlfriend or your grandma etc that can be found on the site.

5. Tarot of Cocktails

A deck of tarot cards that are actually cocktail recipes makes for a refreshing change from the normal cocktail recipe book. There are 30 drink ideas to choose from. Great for cocktail fans and any budding mixologists. 

6. Inspirational Pencil Set

A great stocking filler idea, all of the pencils in this set have an inspirational quote stamped on the side.

7. Awkward Moment Card Game

Games are a Christmas tradition that joins all the family together. Feeling like a break from the normality of monopoly, this awkward moment card game is bound to expose a few secrets and get the whole family laughing. There is also the option of the Awkward Moment at Work card game.

8. What I Love About You by Me Book

A gift idea for all of the romantics out there. This sweet and personal book lets you fill out all the things you love about your special someone in the blank spaces. Creating a lovely personalised keepsake. A perfect thoughtful gift for the girlfriend that can be treasured forever. 

Those are just a few of my favourite gift ideas from the UncommonGoods website. There are so many more fantastic products available to choose from, happy gift shopping!
