Home and Style Finds: UncommonGoods

Hello all! I’m pleased to be collaborating today with UncommonGoods on this week’s Home and Style Finds post. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, UncommonGoods is a privately-owned retailer with a focus on its social impact at work and in the world, featuring sustainable and handmade jewellery, homewares and unique gifts made by independent makers, for men, women and the home.

I get so much enjoyment looking for gifts for people so I spent one happy evening selecting some of my favourite items from the site whilst watching a film I’ve already forgotten (A boy meets girl film/bore). Here’s hoping this collection of home and style wares are a tad more memorable!

From left to right:

Do Good Cotton Hammock | This cozy hammock-for-two helps to support the people who make it—members of a small village of endangered Mlabri people in northern Thailand. Ever dreamt of having your hammock to hang in? I know I have.

Beehive | Designed in the UK by beekeeper and conservationist Norman Sellers, a beehive would make a great gift for the organised gardener in your life; you know, the one who’s planting bee-friendly bulbs in September for spring.  I will be a Barbara Good type one day. One day.

Cinema Box | I’ve wanted a cinema box for so long now for our bedroom projector film nights. I especially like the shape of this one though, it would make a great addition to our bookshelf and is a quirky and fun gift for all ages.

Pencil Set | When you’re in need of a little inspiration these motivational pencils will see you right. Team them with these Peace and Love earrings for a positive and thoughtful gift.

Tote bag | A/W is here and this water-resistant tote bag is a must have for the seasons ahead. Made with water- and puncture-proof Cordura® fabric, sealed internal seams, and water-resistant sealing zippers it will be a great choice for Yorkshire dwellers.

If you’re looking for gift ideas for men try this stylish Yoga Mat made from recycled neoprene wetsuits (what an awesome idea!) or these extra soft French cotton Socks.

Finally, this simple and delicate Morse Code Necklace created by Erin Bartels would make a stylish personalised gift for someone very special, without being too ‘I LOVE YOU ADRIAN’. I like subtle gifts like this. Not sure where I got Adrian from? Ahem.
