While I have the goal to start sooner and crossed off lots of people on my list, I'm so proud, there are still a few that I want to get something special.

Uncommon Goods makes holiday shopping stress-free and joyful, with thousands of one-of-a-kind gifts you

can't find anywhere else, ones that feel meaningful and personal, never rushed, or last minute.

I got one of my creative sons, the DIY Dream Library Bookend Kit, where he will make this mini

library room that acts as a bookend,

almost like you're peeking into a window of a dollhouse.

As a reader and someone who likes to craft, he is going to love it.

from moms and dads to kids and teens,

from book lovers and sports fans to foodies, crafters, and gardeners,

you will find unforgettable gifts that are anything but ordinary. And when you shop at Un, crafters, and gardeners, you will find unforgettable gifts that are
