10 days til’ Christmas, friends!!
Are you mostly-kinda-sorta-halfway(???) done with your shopping, but have a few of those hard-to-buy-for people that you just can’t seem to find anything for?
Yea. Me too.
{ deep breaths }
We will get through this together. Pinky promise.
This week I am teaming up with one of my favorite resources for finding that perfect gift for the impossible to buy for people still lingering your list to share some of my picks for those hard to buy people on your list.
If you are not already familiar with Uncommon Goods, let me tell you that it is mecca of unique and perfect gift giving ideas. We look forward to flipping through their catalogs because we literally always find fun gift ideas in there.
With over half of their inventory made by hand (many voted on by the fans), one of the reason UncommonGoods always seems to have truly unique ideas, is that the company makes it their mission to provide a platform for artist and designers who in many cases are not carried in the mainstream stores.
Last year these two made my gift suggestions. They’re still available at UncommonGoods and I still firmly stand by them.

I mean, hilarious right?
This year, I have a few new products that are topping my list of favorite unique gifts.
Some are great as additions to a small gift card while others are great stand alone gifts… either way? They will make your gift-giving a big hit!
Mug With A Hoop. This SLAM DUNK gift was created by an 8 year old boy! How awesome? My son (9) is basketball OBSESSED and this hot coca mug is EVERYTHING! What sporty kid wouldn’t love shooting some marshmallow hoops on a snowy winter day?

Bodydoodles is a game that has kids names written all over it (no pun intended). Players are challenged to drawing pictures on other players.

Wait. She wants me to encourage my kids to draw on each other?? … Has this girl gone cray? …
I hear the panic and doubtful thoughts but these markers are skin safe and easily wash off with soap and water so panic-not those temporary tattoo will definitely not becoming permanent. It’s a great game for all ages and perfect for holiday gatherings.
