The following items are available from Uncommon Goods (some with an expedited shipping option) for as long as they're in stock.

Velociraptor Garden Sculpture Set
 
 
 
 
It's safe to say that handmade steel sculptures like these add a special touch to any yard or garden. :) The same sculptor makes a wide range of other metal displays starting at $50 - click here to see his entire collection. Made in Arizona.
 
 
 

 
Pond Life Coloring Tablecloth
 
 
Kids can doodle their way through snacks and learn about wildlife at the same time with the pond life tablecloth. It comes with 10 colored markers and is washable, so can be used more than once. Made in Turkey.
 
 
There's also a USA map coloring tablecloth, complete with capitols and state birds, animals and flowers, and a world map version.

Pint glasses that make it easy to break the ice! The liquid measuring lines mark starting points for a wide range of conversation topics that are sure to bring up some interesting stories. Made in Colorado.

A great gift for gardeners and naturalists. These two towels are printed with hand-painted artwork celebrating pollinators and the flowers they make possible. Made in New York.
 
 
 

 
DIY Bubble Waffle Set
 
 
 
A fun way for kids to spend creative time in the kitchen. This egg bubble waffle-making set comes with a specially designed iron, flavored mixes, and all the tools needed to make six to eight servings. (Then pair with ice cream or other toppings.) Made in New York. 
 
 
 

 
Personalized Wine Serving Tray
 
 
 
This customizable serving tray fits four standard stemmed wine glasses and one standard wine bottle. A personalized inscription of your choice makes it a great gift for a housewarming or any other special occasion. Made in Rhode Island.
 
 
 

 
Cheese Paddle Board
 
 
A rustic way to serve snacks in style. Reviewers rave about the look of these hand-chiseled paddles that are sourced from naturally fallen trees. Handmade in Illinois.
 
 
 

 
Donate a Farm Animal
 


 

And for friends and loved ones who don't want or need anything...
Heifer International is a non-profit that donates farm animals and livestock training to under-served populations. Making a donation in someone's name might be the perfect way to show you're thinking of them.
