Uncommon Goods is my favorite place to buy gifts for the person who has everything, so I was really excited when they asked me to do a Holiday Gift Guide for them (I am being compensated for this post, but the gifts I chose are my own selections). I figured you guys have specific gift budgets for specific people, like I do, so I arranged the gifts by price for easier shopping:-)
Under $25
Ticket Stub Diary. I travel a ton, and I save the ticket stubs from all my trips. They are sitting in a folder, so I was thrilled to find this ticket stub diary. With 118 clear sleeves and space to write in the margins, It’s a great gift for anyone who likes to save ticket stubs from museums, sports games, travel, concerts, shows, movies, etc. $12
Set of 4 Wine Pearls. If you know someone who hates it when melted ice makes their drink watery (and really, who doesn’t?), this is a great gift! These stainless steel wine pearls keep drinks cold without melting, are stylish looking and reusable. It’s a gift most people wouldn’t buy themselves, but one that is totally useful and fun. $24.95
Chakra Bath Salts Set. This shea butter bath salt set features seven different essential oil blends that are tinted with all-natural micas for a beautiful glow. Featuring scents like eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint and more, they are the key ingredient for a relaxing bath. $22
Guitar String Bracelet. These bracelets, made out of real guitar strings, are great for layering with other bracelets, or buy several to layer together. Choose from the colors below. $10 each
Corkcicle. For those who love wine gadgets, this “icicle” is made of BPA-free plastic filled with a reusable freeze gel, so you don’t have to worry about diluting your wine. Place your Corkcicle in the freezer for a few hours, and then insert it into any bottle of wine (after 1 glass has been poured) to maintain the temperature. $18
