UncommonGoods – review & $50 gift card giveaway (ends 5/3 11:59pm EST)

April 23, 2012 By Africa

UncommonGoods

UncommonGoods  – isn’t that an awesome name of a business?  And the name could not be more appropriate when considering what UncommonGoods sells on their website.

Taken from their website’s “About Us” section;

UncommonGoods (www.uncommongoods.com) is an online marketplace offering creatively designed, high-quality merchandise at affordable prices. At UncommonGoods, we believe that creativity and the expression of individuality represent two great human treasures. We have set out to create a business that makes uncommon goods accessible to everyone. 

I was approached to review three pretty neat products available on the UncommonGoods website, namely a totally cute HEART VASE, HIDDEN ANIMAL MUG and a STACKABLE LUNCH POT.  

The first product I’ll speak about is the Hidden Animal Mug.  Imagine the surprise on your guests face’s as they drink their tea or coffee and reveal in the cup a hidden bear, owl or fox figurine?  In my house I am not a big coffee drinker, Jeanna however, LOVES coffee and she loves using this cup.  It is a great size, at 3.5″ H x 5″ diameter and it holds a surprising 16 ounces of yummy coffee (or whatever you choose to drink out of it!)  The HIDDEN ANIMAL MUG is available on the UncommonGoods website for $21.00.

The heart vase is the perfect gift for Mothers Day or for any one in your life that likes cute, funky and ‘different’ things!!  I love that the vase is actually shaped as a heart on top, something I’ve never seen before!!  The vase is big enough to be practical but small enough to still be a fun, cute addition to any counter top.  As pictured below the HEART VASE comes in a choice of red, purple or blue at a cost of $25.00 each.

Last, but definitely NOT least, is the Stackable Lunch Pot.   I cannot tell you exactly how much I LOVE this product!!! It is useful, practical and different from any lunch container I’ve used in the past.  I love that I don’t have to lug a big lunch bag with me to lunch anymore!!  The Stackable Lunch Pot comes complete with carry handle and ‘spork’ (mixed between a spoon and a fork!!)  What surprised me the most about this product was how much it could carry in the two compartments; the bottom holds 10 ounces and the top 18.6 ounces.  The first time I used it, Jeanna packed some noodles into it for lunch and it was enough for two lunches 😉  !!!  While the pots are dishwasher and microwave safe it does warn not to overheat your food in the pot as it could cause damage.  The STACKABLE LUNCH POT is available on their website for $22.00.

UncommonGoods is the perfect website to get your one of a kind items for women and make sure to visit UncommonGoods to see more gifts for men!!  I know that my mother is going to love the vase (oh wait, I think I just gave away a surprise!!)

You can also find UncommonGoods on their Facebook Page, Twitter, and Pinterest.

The awesome people over at UncommonGoods have been kind enough to offer to one lucky winner a $50 gift card to use on their website!!! All you have to do is complete the easy rafflecopter entry form below.

 

GOOD LUCK!!!
