Anniversary Gift Giving & Smart Shopping

This post is sponsored by UncommonGoods. All opinions are my own.

Gift giving is a super important part of life…in case you haven’t noticed.

Birthdays are always happening, people are getting married, buying houses, having babies, getting jobs, having anniversaries, and there’s always something to celebrate! This sure makes me happy!

What’s even better about these gift occasions coming around is that it can give you a chance to use your money to support artisans. Give a gift, support a maker.

It’s totally a win-win!

I always try to seek out gifts that are:

Unique
Made by local or individual artisans
Long-lasting
Special
Within my budget

Although there are quite a few things to mark off the list, UncommonGoods is pretty great for meeting all of those requirements.

UncommonGoods is a privately-owned retailer that endeavors to feature unique jewelry, designer décor, tabletop items, and handcrafted gifts created in harmony with the environment without harm to animals or people.

I was especially mesmerized by their Anniversary Gifts. Click here to see the many beautiful and unique pieces that you can’t find anywhere else.

I really connected with these gorgeous peacock feather wine glasses and decanter because we happened to have a bird-themed wedding and our wedding invitations even had a peacock feather illustration drawn by my husband. Perfection!

These glasses are high-quality, innately crafted and feel amazing in your hand. Did I mention that most of their items are made in the US? And they send a little bio of the person who made your item, so you can learn a bit more about their work. The company also supports a number of nonprofits.

And then there were these other glasses. Have you ever seen anything so neat? This pair of wood and ceramic glasses are modern, clean and look pretty awesome on our dining room bar cart.
