Like these cardboard animal heads So awesome!!

UncommonGoods is a company with a real eye on the prize, what exactly does that mean? That means that their focus is on building a sustainable company where their artists use sustainable or recycled materials whenever possible, where they believe using sustainable and environmentally friendlier packing materials will not only benefit them, but benefit us and on a greater scale, benefit the world! This impressive company knows their customers and their carbon footprint matter, they are globally aware of their impact and also take great care in building relationships with non-profit organizations through Better to Give, a program they created that allows their customers to choose partners for them to donate $1 to with every order.

Certified B Corporation

They are also a certified B Corporation… very impressive.

As you can probably guess this is the kind of company I was extremely excited to work with, when they approached me to collaborate, I jumped at the chance. I wanted to give back too, in my own way, I wanted to give to you guys, this is my Christmas gift to you… I want you to be able to shop this awesome market too! Now, on to the fun part, some retail therapy! Whoop!

DandelionPaperweight-VinyetETC & UncommonGoods

I chose this dandelion paperweight… it was love at first sight, yes because it’s beautiful but I have a real attraction to dandelions, call me weird… but dandelions really speak to me. It goes all the way back to being a little girl and picking the dandelion when it’s beautiful and fragile seeds are ready to take flight, as a little girl I could not resist picking them and blowing with all my little might, closing my eyes and making a wish. The belief in magic as a child… precious! This weed as some call it means so much to me because they say that this is the flower of a base brat! My Father was a Military man for my whole youth, I was a Base brat, “Children of the world, blown to all corners of the world, we bloom anywhere!” – just like that hardy dandelion.

The wind takes it high
The wind takes it low
But still she will never know
Where the little dandelion will go
Where the little dandelion will grow.

    Hi Laurie! This is exciting, I love that dandelion paperweight that you picked! Beautiful! I must admit I didn’t know Uncommon Goods! I love that they use recycled material and are environmentally friendly, that’s so important and I really wish more companies did this! I just checked and they deliver to Spain, how cool is that! I live in Spain…Just looking at the homepage I like everything I see. I would probably spend the 100$ on home deco…Thanks so much for this, I think I became a fan!!!

    These are such prety gifts for the holidays. I really l ike the camera pillows. And that runner with wood slices is uncommon and very adorable. I’m going to pop on over and have a look at some more of their gift selection.

    I love the reclaimed wood runner & the paperweight – but so many beautiful things – would have fun choosing.

    I really liked some of the wall art they have. I’d probably get the one called First Light.

  • Reply Paula December 16, 2015 at 3:21 pm

    What a lovely giveaway! Beginning to realise our tastes are so similar. I love dandelions too (actually chose it as my logo :-). I’d love to use two of these gorgeous papweights as bookends. Going to check out this fun and unique site.

    You ever wonder what happens to a helium filled balloon that gets away from you and floats away into the sky? Same principle but on the receiving end–I used to wonder where all the dandelion weeds in Sask came from and now I know – a young girl named Laurie in Ont was all to blame – haha! Despite the fact that I have an actual “Experimental Dandelion Farm” joke sign that hangs for 6 mths of the yr on my farm and my love/hate thing with dandies, I do like that Dandelion paperweight and would be tempted to buy that one but … The item that stole my heart completely is their Horseshoe Heart Trivet – I love it and it would be not only an everyday hot plate use item but part of a vignette for V’Day! It is so unique you have to check it out!

    That paperweight reminds me a lot of a gift I bought for myself for under the tree this yr – yeah that happens every year – it is a fine line btwn self indulgence and just helping Santa out lol! It is a craft kit to make your own ice lanterns and knowing you love the dandelion paperweight, I am pretty sure you will Love this too – just think about all the candlelight suppers the birds could have at their vintage insulator feeders with these beauties! ~ Kari http://www.wintercraft.com/pages/photogallery

    What a great giveaway! Love that paperweight, too! Good choice. I love the idea of purchasing gifts that do some good around the world and while I’ve heard of Uncommon Goods before, I did not know much about them. Thanks for the introduction. I am definitely entering this contest. Wish me luck 🙂

    I would really like the motion magnetic lamp

    I’d buy some of their funky maps in their art section. I really like one of San Francisco that they have…. I’ll get back to you after browsing a bit more 😉
