Want Unique Wine Gifts? Check Out Uncommon Goods Online
I often surf around the web just to see what kinds of wine related gifts there are out there for wine geeks (ahem, a certain Winesleuth is having a birthday soon, just saying). I recently came across this lovely website that features quirky but stylish wine-themed gifts. You can have a look at some of their offerings here. The aim of the site is to showcase creative designs and offer high quality goods at reasonable prices.
Uncommon Goods is the name of the site and after looking around, I can say they have a pretty cool selection of stuff. The site was originally created to act as a showcase for “…the creativity and the expression of individuality (which) represent two great human treasures. (They) have set out to create a business that makes uncommon goods accessible to everyone…” I like that idea and am glad to see unique artists and designers get the recognition they deserve.
Another thing I liked about the site is that they are committed to working in harmony with the environment. All of their merchandise is produced without harming any animals and they donate a portion of each order to your choice of these non-profit organizations: American Forests, Women for Women International, City Harvest, and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN). I think that’s pretty nifty and it makes me feel good that I’m helping others out with my purchase. So, not only can I buy cool wine glasses, like these, but I’m also helping out a host of others.
Although Uncommon Goods are based in NY, they can ship to over 100 countries. Check out their website for shipping options. As for me, I’m eyeing a certain decanter…
