All Of Your Holiday Shopping Done Better

 

Last year, I had a new baby and a lot of brain fog and I found myself scrambling to get shopping done a few days before Christmas.

I paid a lot of extra shipping and the whole holiday season, to be honest, usually one of my favorites, was kind of miserable. This year, because of a lofty goal to pay off our remaining debt and a desire to have a stress-free season, I am getting all of my shopping done as soon as possible by shopping online.

One online shop that I came across while doing a holiday gift guide for Babble was Uncommon Goods, which is an online shop that dedicates itself to doing business better by making sustainability a part of every decision they made. They doing everything differently with their company, from ensuring that their workers, even most of their part-time employees, have health insurance and a living wage to focusing on handmade, recycled, and organic products.

I love the idea behind the business of Uncommon Goods, almost as much as I love the fact that they literally have something for everyone on your list, right in one spot:

For Your Dad

I was planning on buying my father-in-law a home beer brewing kit, so when I saw this gift, I was so excited. They have really affordable kids that incorporate many different kinds of local beers. If beer isn’t your father or father-in-law’s thing, no worries. They have an entire collection of gifts for dads too!

Southern Bourbon Stout Beer Kit, $20+

For The New Parent

Honestly, this thing is amazing. I wish I would have had one from the start of my parenting career instead of suffering through 10 million dinners, weddings, and other events without a high chair available.

Portachair Harness, $50

For Your Nephew

If he’s a little guy, he’ll love a construction site, right on his dinner plate. For the older boy crowd, be sure to browse the awesome boy’s gift collection for all ages + stages.

Construction Worker Plate + Utensils, $15-$18

For Your Kids’ Teacher

My husband happens to be a math teacher, so I seriously am contemplating getting this for him regardless. Math = cool. And don’t worry-for all the non-math teachers who are equally as cool, they have an entire collection of teachers’ gifts.

Math Mug, $16

For Your Co-Workers

To get that cozy Christmas feeling without the hassle of starting a fire, these candles actually crackle. How cool is that? Browse more gifts for coworkers and neighbors here.

Crackling Candles, $18

For The Babysitter

Kids these days don’t even know the beauty that a real camera can capture. Pick up this beauty for a photography lover or browse the Gifts For Crafters collection for a lot of great DIY gift kit options.

Diana Camera, $45

For The Chocolate Lover

Um, it would be wrong to eat these, right?

Box of Chocolate Soaps, $28

For Your Mom

Is it just me or do moms never get tired of robes? Maybe it’s because we’re always so tired…?

Grey Leaves Kimono Robe, $78

For Your Mother-in-Law

I could use one of these in the kitchen myself, but if something else is willing to cook, well then so be it.

Utensil and Tablet Holder, $65

Special thanks to Uncommon Goods for allowing me to get a lot of my own holiday shopping done in exchange for sharing this post. All opinions and drooling over Christmas presents are my own.
