Do you guys know about my penguin obsession? They’re my favorite animal. I love how happy they are and how they always look like they’re wearing little tuxedos. It’s adorable. 😀
I promise, this connection will make sense in a second. Uncommon Goods recently reached out to me to see if I would like to review some of their products and host a giveaway here on my blog. Their site is filled with quality, fun merchandise that you aren’t likely to see other places. It’s like walking into the Anthropologie home section or the Urban Outfitters trinket section, but magnified by ten. You never know what you’ll find, but you know it will be awesome and that you’ll love it. The goods truly are uncommon, and are perfect for when you’re looking for a gift or a decoration that hasn’t been pinned a million times on Pinterest. Over half of what they sell is made by hand and a lot of it is made exclusively for them by artists across the United States.
See? I promised the penguin connection would make sense. While I was browsing around their site (and falling in love with everything), I stumbled upon these “Zenguin” mugs. I love mugs, and when you go and put cute penguins on them, I’m definitely sold! Made in Tuscan, Arizona, these mugs are only available at Uncommon Goods. I’m so glad we got them!
I’ve been loving drinking my morning coffee out of these mugs for the last week. The sayings are adorable, and the illustrations are just so me. I love when you find gifts that are just the right fit for a person (even if that person is yourself!). On Uncommon Goods I really feel like I can do that for all the special people in my life.
With Mother’s Day coming up, they’ve put together a great list of potential gift ideas. (More here and here!) I’ve already got my eye on some things I think Diane will love. 😀
I should also mention that I got another awesome gift from Uncommon Goods, but I won’t be revealing what it is until my site redesign is up and running. For now, I’ll just say that it’s adorable. 😀

I like so many things on the site but the “bad dog pillows” are fun and really cute!
These mugs look really cute. I’ve been on the look out for a new mug to use when I’m in my office counseling, so that’s what I would want!

I love the “The Neighbors Have Better Stuff” doormat. I have been hunting for a doormat but haven’t found one I like yet.
A perfect gift for me would be some sort of art I could hang up on my walls. I’m looking for some adult decoration pieces…if it was one of a kind, that would make it even better 🙂
I like your Facebook page! 🙂 (P.S. I will have to pass this site along to my other penguin-loving friend…who happens to live in Arizona!)
I honestly can’t choose a specific thing right now, but I would probably select either some fun beer glasses or plates/napkins for the food photography on my blog 🙂

A perfect unique gift for me would be fun shaped chocolates. Or fun bath salts…because this month is a doozie for me and I need to relax but don’t make time for it. 🙂

My son asked me what I want for Mother’s Day and I’m still at a loss, so no idea on the perfect gift. Oooo I want the Elephant Family book ends. (I got to ride on an elephant when I was a kid, so I totally understand the animal obsession).
I’ve purchased several gifts from Uncommon Goods and love them!
