UNIQUELY ENCHANTING - Uncommon Goods/Review and $50 GC Giveaway

If you're like me, you know there are always people that it is hard to shop for. I am always on the lookout for unusual gifts and, basically, I'm a bit unusual myself. I love browsing at Uncommon Goods! So much fun and I've found quite a few gifts that were just perfect for friends and family. They have gifts for women, men, kids and teens and will fit your budget, large or small. They have great Stocking Stuffers too and the best thing is these are things you won't see everywhere else.

Uncommon Goods is an online marketplace offering creatively designed, high-quality merchandise at affordable prices. They strongly believe that creativity and the expression of individuality represent two great human treasures. Thus, they have set out to create a business that makes uncommon goods accessible to everyone.



The piece I've chosen to review is the Reach for the Moon Charm Necklace.  It fits me to a T.  I'm always striving for the moon and beyond.  In gorgeous harmonious colors is a crescent moon, along with a garnet for courage and passion, pink tourmaline for creativity and devotion, and amethyst for happiness and protection. Altogether, they remind me to believe in myself. Sent to another, they let them know I have faith in them.

It is really lovely and comes with a card explaining the meaning behind each charm and stone. The 16" chain can be be adjusted for lengths up to 18".

My mom said her father told her to always have faith and she passed that along to me.
When I wear this necklace, I feel inspired to keep following my dreams.

I also love the artist, Mary Steratore's, other inspirational jewelry pieces: Luck is Believing You're Lucky Necklace, Dealing with Uncertainty Necklace, Set Yourself Free Earrings, and Positive Energy Earrings.

There are other wonderful Gifts for Women at Uncommon Goods.  I would love to buy this Bonsai Forest  for my mom and the Shower Squids are perfect for my sister.




My friend who eats gummy bears all day would go crazy for the Gummy Lamps with their built-in LED light while my science-loving nephew would love the Magnetic Silly Putty.

Something else that I love about Uncommon Goods is their commitment to the environment. Also, they donate a portion of each order to your choice of non-profit organizations: American Forests, AmeriCares, City Harvest, and the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN).

Pretty awesome.

And, what else is pretty awesome, is that Uncommon Goods has generously offered one of my readers a Gift Certificate for $50 to their site so that you can purchase anything your heart desires. Find a unique gift or buy something wonderful for yourself!

The first two entries are mandatory, but fairly painless and the rest are extra entries for you.  Just follow the Rafflecopter and it will lead you through.  Good luck everyone!
