Do you get the Uncommon Goods catalog? I’ve been ordering gifts from the site for the past 10 years, and its funky collection of conversation-piece products always impresses the gift recipients. There are clever products here in every category–kids’ gifts, hostess gifts, grandparent gifts, gifts for guys and more. Today I’m going to share some of my favorite gifts under $25 from Uncommon Goods.
Flipbook Kits ($12). Who wouldn’t love to make their own cartoon-like flip story? Follow the easy step-by-step instructions; each kit makes 4 colorful 30-page flipbooks.
Eye Glasses Holder ($18). A stylish and fun way to keep track of one’s glasses, this objet d’art was made in India by HSSS, a non-profit that helps underprivileged artisans find markets for their sustainable wood products.
Unzipped Glass Zipper Bag ($16.25). A cool year-round hostess gift, this contemporary art piece can hold everything from candy to coins. Hand blown in China. 
Face Mug ($18). Sure to gather smiles at snacktime, this porcelain mug is perfect for serving milk and cookies, coffee and doughnuts, or tea and biscotti (or cocoa and extra marshmallows!)
