I have been shopping at Uncommon Goods for years now. I love giving personal, unique items from independent makers and if I am not able to find those items throughout the year or I need to ship something, I find this the best path to find items I feel good about giving without having to deal with shipping them myself.

I am a big fan of Advent Calendars and … candy. Years ago, I gave my son a one-year subscription to Universal Yums and we all loved it so when I saw they offered a candy and chocolate Advent Calendar, I knew we had to have it. Now, it’s just a matter of waiting for December to arrive!
