monday & uncommon goods

there are so many reasons to give gifts, birthdays, weddings, holidays, you name it, there is always an occasion. brooklyn-based uncommon goods, is on a mission, not only to provide an eclectic variety of creative & handmade, recycled, and organic products, but also to foster stewardship and giving among their employees and those outside of their company who purchase from and enjoy their product line.

another very cool aspect to anything uncommon goods sells, is that you can "meet the maker" surrounding many items, like literally. uncommon goods often highlights photos, inspiration and the entire story of how people came up with their item to feature on uncommon goods, from food, to home goods to jewelry and more.
