Back to School — $180.00
My husband is very difficult to buy for,and when I saw these glasses, I felt that these were something he would like. He definitely loved them!! The only thing that I think would have made these glasses even nicer is the embossing color of the animals is rather light in color and you have to really look hard at the glass to see the outline of the animal. But, as I said, he seemed to really love them anyway.

For the Birds — $60.00
UNCOMMON KNOWLEDGE: If squirrels are stealing your birdseed from its proper recipient, try mixing the seeds with a hot pepper powder, making the seed itself squirrel-proof! Made from capsaicin, the spicy part of hot peppers makes birdseed too spicy for mammals to handle, and it's completely tasteless to birds. In fact, it's an excellent source of Vitamin C.

Blue Moon — $40.00
One thing I look for in a product is "does it work". This product does work, it is exactly as advertised. First you unpack the box, then you notice that the instructions are very easy, open the jar and set in the sun to charge. I did so on a dismal gray day and it charged enough to run past my bedtime. The only thing I am sorry about is that I purchased it as a gift. Now I have to repack it, dress it up in fancy paper and wave good bye. Gee, guess I will have to purchase another....

Heavy Metal — $24.00
The bit is dirty and rubs off on your hands, desk and business cards. It also scratches the surface of the desk. Only one or two cards can be presented at a time because the pieces holding the cards together is way too tight. Would not recommend, not practical, and too expensive for the quality and practicality.

Memoirs of a Geisha — $20.00

Joe purchased excess bolts of overstocked kimono fabric from the 70s and 80s and has been designing his own line of traditional-meets-modern accessories ever since. Handmade in Japan.

On The Road Again — $20.00
I purchased this for a birthday gift. The theme for the birthday was gifts based on movies (this fit Vacation). It was perfect for the theme but the first thing that I saw when I opened the box was that the entire thing was about 5 inches square. I don't know if the dimensions were listed, but I wish that I had checked. It had an overall wonderful vintage feel and was very attractive but I couldn't get past the small size. Might not have been as disappointed if it had been a lower price. Still a...

This personal alarm is small enough to fit on your key ring and in the palm of your hand. The panic alarm is loud enough to generate some attention.

I'm buying a second one for my Mom, who walks 3 blocks in the dark every morning from her parking garage to her office downtown. Uncommon Goods also has it for the lowest price I was able to find anywhere.

Listen To Your Heart — $50.00
I love my beating heart pillow! It's soft, comfortable to hold, and soothing. However, it's not exactly what I expected. I can't actually sleep with it, because the noise of the beating keeps me awake. It really isn't loud - my roommate can't hear it when I use it, but when it's pressed up against you, you can definitely hear it, and I just don't like repetitive kind of noise when I'm trying to sleep. I find it soothing to hold while I do something relaxing, like watch tv, read, or chat. One amazing...

A Royal Flush — $29.95
My parents have a few different vacation homes. One of which is a charming little beach cabin they have decorated in sail boats. They even decorated the deck in retired fish nets. The place is beautiful, but I felt it was lacking that special touch in the tiny bathroom. I bought the sail boat handle to suprise them with on my last trip up. They were amazed! My dad had said he had no idea they made handles like these. I have to say it did the job and everytime one of my siblings visit the cabin they...

These looked really pretty online and in person they are certainly unique and def handmade. You can actually slip the disks off the hook, which I guess is a good thing because one of them wasn't put on properly, however unfortunately one of the hooks was actually bent out of shape. I bought to give them as a gift and although they aren't nearly as high end as I would like (esp given the price) I'm still debating on giving them anyway.

And The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon — $21.00
This may seem like an odd Mother's Day gift, but that's what I gave this as. My mother has everything in the world or can buy what she doesn't, so I had to give something unique. This fit the bill.

Live In The Moment — $90.00
This watch is great. The band is very comfortable, and although it took me a while to get the hang of using the clasp, now I can get it on and off with no problem. I had a momentary panic when it first came and I thought I wouldn't be able to adjust the strap to a small enough size for my wrist, but I ignored the instructions and adjusted it smaller then it supposedly was engineered to go, and it works out just fine.

For Sake's Sake — $30.00
The sake set is realy nice, and the stickers on the bottom show that it realy comes from Japan! As others have mentioned, it is not black as it apears in the picture- but a silver/blue color that is really cool. \nBeleive the people that say the bottle is small! I havn't measured the capasity, but is must be only 16-20 oz (or max 0.5L).\nFor me the only problem is that is doesn't have a top for the bottle- and that cool color makes finding one for the bottle difficult at best. For now I'm just...

Love the design & the fact that they are made from re-cylced wine bottles.

Love Birds — $75.00
Some time ago, the placement of our bed next to the baseboard heat often produced a noise that we referred to as the night bird. We haven't heard the night bird sing in a while, but when I saw this picture, entitled Night Song, I just had to get it. It looks nice on the bedroom wall, which is painted a steel blue-gray.

The artist was at a recent art show in Austin, TX. I bought the fish for a friend of mine; he's planning on using it as a change holder. We didn't want to carry it around all day, so we dropped it off at another friend's booth, and suggested she use it as a tip jar. We ended up back at the artist's booth to buy more stuff and our other friend showed up to buy her own fish. Turns out people loved the fish as a tip jar and were more inclined to tip. We also ran into another couple at the show who had...
