As we finally land in the prospering spring season where flowers bloom and days get warmer, there’s hope in the air- not only for new life and exciting educational achievements but for wedding plans that are often set for the summer months ahead.
Oh, how I love weddings! Is there any event more beautiful? I think of all the weddings I have attended through the years, all the weddings I was honored to be in as bridesmaid, and the many weddings I was asked to write a personalized song to perform- and my eyes water at the thought of those memories. Each one so magical, so profound. Every ceremony was unique in the couple’s expression of love.
Witnessing the mark of such an extraordinary commitment leaves me breathless.
Do you know someone who is currently creating their wedding plans? Maybe YOU are?
If so, I have the site for YOU!
I was thrilled to be introduced to this incredible company, uncommongoods.com, offering beautiful handmade products, focused on supporting talented new designers and their unique creations. I love their mission and philosophy:
“We know that there’s a story behind every product. It’s that of an emerging designer just introducing her work to the world; artisans working collaboratively in a low-income country, or a seasoned artist crafting each of his pieces by hand. With your help, we’re building a community of passionate people who love our products and connect with the stories behind them. We’re growing not only our artist family but also a strong following of customers who celebrate artists and delight in surrounding themselves with creative design.”
What’s not to love about a business that helps talented creative artists sell their unique products all around the world?
Uncommongoods not only sells handmade, recycled, organic products, but it also offers you an option to donate one dollar off each purchase, to any non-profit organization you choose. They have donated over $1,000,000 since they created the “Better To Give Program”. It’s obvious to me, that their business is founded on the values and integrity I admire and support. I’m betting you will agree.
If you are in the throes of wedding plans or know someone who is, there are some perfect gifts the Bride can buy for her Bridesmaids. I personally love this necklace.
“Good friends are like stars-you don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.”
Isn’t that beautiful?
And if I were to do it all again, I would buy my bridesmaids these sweet earrings to wear on the big day…
If you are looking for a wedding gift for a soon-to-be couple, I just love the creative customized products they have for the future Mr. and Mrs.! I think a wedding gift should be unique, and uncommongoods is the perfect place to find them. For example, just look at these custom-made champagne flutes. Aren’t they precious?
Going to a Bridal Shower and need a gift? I think these would be a wonderful bridal shower present for the Mr. and Mrs. I adore these.
And for those of you celebrating Wedding Anniversaries, there are so many wedding anniversary gifts to choose from too! I never know what to get my husband, so I’m thrilled to find these…
And my favorite? (Wink Wink)
I was so impressed with the products at uncommongoods, and knowing my purchases will support independent artists, makes it even more worthwhile to me. I’m guessing you would agree. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate a new couple, than to buy them something so different from the main stream commercial market. Out of all the gifts we received for our wedding day almost 17 years ago, it’s the presents that are unique and personal that I cherish most to this day.
So if you or someone you know has upcoming wedding plans, I really believe you can find the perfect gifts at uncommongoods.com. If you aren’t in need of wedding gifts, there are so many other beautiful items available on this site too. I’m looking at some special
Mother’s Day gifts for both my mom and mother-in-law. I’m thinking these creative originals are a wonderful gift for many celebrations of loved ones all year round. Go check out all the products they offer and you’ll see why I’m sharing this extraordinary online store with you today.
This is a sponsored post, but all opinions are surely my own! I’m honored to support a business that believes in the value of independent artists and offers sustainable goods. We need more of them in this world!
I love the mugs! They’re so cool. Thanks, Chris, for sharing this site with us. I love to support independent artists!
I KNOW you do, Kristi! This site is right up your alley, girl! SO many cool gift ideas for lots of different occasions too.
Nice stuff here, Chris! I have no wedding invites in the near future. I do have many memories of being a bridesmaid though, always in the summer. Good memories. Many of these people are still together today 🙂
Ah I love those beautiful memories, Lisa! I’m glad many of those people are still together too. That’s awesome.
You would love the other items they sell- very artistic and unique- for other occasions!
I love, love, love those love tokens and may need to look into these for my husband for our upcoming anniversary. So thank Chris for sharing 😉
Aren’t they PERFECT? There are so many cool gift ideas over there. I hope you find the perfect gift, if not the tokens Janine!
How perfect. And coincidentally I’m heading to a wedding shower this afternoon. I already have my gift of course, but will peek back before the wedding!
Oh you must! The items are SO unique, Liv. And I know you are a major supporter of artists! 🙂
I love Uncommon Goods for weddings! Would you believe that I have ordered two wedding presents from them? I love the paintings, with the retro dancers that are personalized with the bride and groom’s names and their wedding details. And each couple has LOVED the gift.
YES!! I just love love love that you too, adore this site! And those retro paintings totally caught my eye. It’s a perfect wedding gift!
Thanks for coming by, my friend! 🙂
A friend introduced me to this site a year or so ago, and I’m a bit addicted. I tend to be awful at choosing gifts for people. Not awful at the actual choosing, so much as getting myself psyched up for it. I get scared and I don’t even try! Then I found this site..
Now I have the opposite problem..
RIGHT? I mean, it’s just PERFECT for really special occasions- for really special people… especially that and them. 🙂
I could spend a fortune over there.
I love Uncommon Goods, but I haven’t had to shop for a wedding gift in so long! I was eyeing something on there for my nephew though – I may go buy it now.
Btw, I miss you. I’m sorry I’ve been so absent.
Isn’t the site amazing? There are SO many interesting and totally unique gifts for many different occasions. I’m addicted. 🙂
I miss you TOO! And I’m sorry TOO! Life- my explanation for everything these days. LOL
It’s always so great to re-connect, my friend. <3
Very nice! The mugs are awesome Chris.
I was thinking about weddings, realizing around me nobody was getting married anymore. How sad!
Yeah, but there will always be weddings in the future for us all—> OUR KIDS! Yikes! lol. This site is just really amazing, Marie. They have ALL KINDS of unique gifts for all occasions. You would love them. <3
Such cute and unique gift ideas! We’ve been married 10 years and I can’t believe how many cool things there are just 10 years later! It’s mind-boggling.
Those mugs – I want them regardless. 😉
Thanks for sharing.
xoxo
Seriously, this site has it ALL when it comes to unique artistic gifts. These days, I think it’s the way to go, don’t you? I’m tired of the mass commercial market. I could shop around this site for hours and spend a small fortune! LOL
I love those coffee mugs! Thanks for this fantastic list of gifts, Chris. I’ll definitely pin this to refer back for the next wedding I attend. I adore weddings too. They’re just such happy days :).
I just LOVE this site, Candace. They have amazing gifts for all kinds of seasons and celebrations. Definitely worth checking out anytime! Thanks friend, for stopping by!
