"I'm always looking for something different and unique, and that's what you will find at Uncommon Goods. When you give a gift like this (unusual), it shows that you put some thought into it. And it wasn't just giving an Amazon card that took you 17 seconds to think of, purchase and send. Believe me, I've sent a lot of them (Amazon Cards). But in some ways, it's like sending people gift coupons for toilet paper and shampoo....nothing special. I recently sent my niece (who's 35 years old) some really colorful and beautiful ceramic Mexican turtle bowls that come in a set of three. She freaked out and loved them! She couldn't stop raving about them over the phone. It was a gift she will always remember. That filled my heart. On top of that. I received an Uncommon Goods gift from a friend that I just didn't need. It was a great gift, but it just didn't fit my lifestyle. Uncommon Goods let me return a gift that I didn't buy, get a full refund, get another item I love, and did not tell the original gift-giver. I thought that was very thoughtful and smart. So, needless to say, they are a great company with great products that they stand behind."
