UncommonGoods Holiday Gift Ideas for Food & Drink Lovers

Hello, hello!

We’re less than three weeks away from both Christmas and Hanukkah, are you all ready??

My best DIY project to date is back! This wine cork Christmas wreath is my favorite outdoor decoration.

My best DIY project to date is back! This wine cork Christmas wreath is my favorite outdoor decoration.

The holiday season is my favorite time of the year! My Christmas tree, outdoor lights and decor are now all up, and I’ve been playing Sirius’ Christmas stations in my car nonstop. I can’t wait to do some holiday baking to share with family, friends & neighbors, and I’m planning on visiting a popular Christmas light extravaganza area that a friend told me about called Candy Cane Court next weekend. It’s all so fun & festive!

uncommongoods-logo-color

I’ve also been doing a ton of holiday shopping. I look forward to giving my loved ones gifts every Christmas, and I sometimes turn to unique gift giving sites for some inspiration and ideas. One catalog that really caught my eye this holiday season was the one I received from UncommonGoods. Flipping through it, I found so many products that made me say, ooooh and aaaahhhh because they’re right up my alley.

uncommongoods-product-collage

Shortly after, UncommonGoods happened to reach out about working together (what a perfect fit right?), so today we’re teaming up to share gift ideas for the foodies & drink lovers in your life. Admittedly, I pretty much want all of these products for myself (hint hint to any loved ones reading this who are looking for a gift idea for me 😉 ), because they’ve got lots of gifts for women that enjoy experimenting in the kitchen like I do.

uncommongood-better-to-give-program

Besides the fact that their products are so neat, UncommonGoods is an awesome brand because of its dedication to being environmentally friendly and socially responsible. Their site features products that contain recycled components, and they’ve never sold products containing leather, feathers or fur – which I find great because I really have been avoiding buying leather in recent years.

The brand also believes in giving back, and since creating a donation program in 2001, they’ve donated over $1 million to non-profits. You can learn more about UncommonGoods’ mission here. Let’s check out some cool gift ideas!

uncommongoods-row-boat-serving-bowl

Row Boat Serving Bowl with Wood Serving Utensils. Many foodies, myself included, are suckers for fun and unique serving dishes – and this row boat serving bowl definitely fits the bill! This is an especially fitting gift for any coastal people/boat & water lovers. Retails @ $65. 

uncommongoods-twist-decanter

Twist Decanter. This product puts a twist on a classic decanter (literally!) and is a neat gift idea for the wine lover in your life. I just love the look of this decanter! Retails @ $29.99-49.99. 

uncommongoods-green-herbal-tea-kit

Green Herbal Tea Kit. As a tea lover, I know that I’d enjoy getting this tea kit as a gift! This holistic tea set includes nine herbs and three varieties of eco-certified, organic green tea from Japan, India, and Sri Lanka. It comes with reusable tea bags to steep the loose leaf teas and herbs in. Retails @ $40.

uncommongoods-mariner-cheese-board

Mariner Cheese Board. Who else adores a good cheese plate? I could happily eat cheese, fruit and bread for dinner every other night. This nautical cheese board is shaped like a ship’s wheel, making it a unique centerpiece for your next wine & cheese night. Retails @ $32.

uncommongoods-soup-sides-bowl

Soups & Sides Bowl. Usually when I eat soup, I like to have crackers or bread on the side for carbolicious dipping… which means I usually have to have a soup bowl, along with a separate plate or bowl. This soups & sides bowl multitasks by offering space for your soup, as well as your dippers. Retails @ $32. 

uncommongood-moscow-mule-carry-on

Moscow Mule Carry-On Cocktail Kit. This idea is for the travel lover in your life who enjoys a good drink. The kit includes all you need to make two craft cocktails during a flight: small-batch ginger syrup, a stainless steel jigger, linen cocktail napkin, mini bar spoon, and recipe card. Just order a mini bottle of vodka & you’re all set! UncommonGoods also sells champagne, Gin & Tonic, and Old Fashioned kits. Retails @ $24.

uncommongoods-wiener-dog-oil-vinegar-set

Weiner Dog Oil & Vinegar Set….They’re shaped like weiner dogs, need I say more?! Retails @ $30.  

uncommongoods-make-your-own-chocolate-truffles-kit

Make Your Own Chocolate Truffles Kit. UncommonGoods offers lot of cute DIY kits, and one item is their Make Your Own Chocolate Truffles Kit. I think this gift is fun to give to friends and family members that like to experiment in the kitchen, or your significant other for an at-home chocolate making date. Retails @ $34.95. 

uncommongoods-pineapple-tumbler

Pineapple Tumbler. I dig the tropical feel of this pineapple tumbler. It can be used for cocktails or even frozen dessert, and the pineapple lid can be flipped over to serve as a base to add height to the tumbler. Retails @ $35. 

uncommongoods-pizza-grow-kit

Pizza Grow Kit. Last but not least, an inexpensive gift idea for the gardening pizza lover in your life! This grow kit includes heirloom seed packets to sprout fresh toppings for a veggie pizza, like basil, tomatoes and bell peppers. Retails @ $12.

And since I know that sometimes my parents are tough to shop for and I certainly can’t be the only one, you can also check out UncommonGoods gift ideas for mom here, and also surf their collection of unique gifts for dad.

Happy holiday shopping everyone! 

Tell me.. What’s one of the most unique kitchen gifts you’ve ever gotten? 

My father-in-law made me this cool wine stopper box last Christmas that I keep on my kitchen wine wall with all of my wine glasses.

    Uncommon Goods totally does have fun and unique gifts! Thanks for highlighting these. I love that twist decanter as well as that cheese board. So unique! Also, I’ve totally been listening to Sirius Christmas nonstop since it came on before Thanksgiving. You can’t ever get enough Christmas music! Cheers to the season, Nicole…and thanks for the gift ideas! 🙂

We’ll be kicking off our week of family birthdays with my wonderful husband turning the big 4-0! 

Something that intrigued me about Adam when I met him 20 years ago was that he seemed serious & quiet, but then would unexpectedly say something super witty or do something silly that cracked me up… & his serious-with-a-side-of-goofball personality remains true to this day (case in point: this video montage 😂)

After all, they say to marry the one who makes you laugh — and I, for one, highly recommend it❣️ Here’s to hoping the next 40 years are full of many more amazing adventures & accomplishments!

1️⃣ fun-filled day in Istanbul! 📍

Our favorite parts: 
⭐️ Sultanahmet Square’s interesting historic sites, including the German Fountain & the Egyptian Obelisk 
⭐️ Visiting the beautiful Blue Mosque
⭐️ Exploring the historic district and trying the street food (Why is the ice cream so.. sticky?!🍦) 
⭐️ Venturing through the hectic Grand Bazaar 
⭐️ A delicious dinner @amedroscafe 
⭐️ Making friends with stray cats.. so many friendly cats! 🐈 As a huge animal lover, I adore that the city seems to take good care of its strays.. This is the first place I’ve ever been where they have vending machines to buy food for stray animals!

When I was newly pregnant with Camryn before we knew her gender, I had a vivid dream that I was picnicking with a little blonde girl in front of the Eiffel Tower. I woke up and told my husband, “Guess what? We’re having a girl!”

We got Camryn a passport at 5 months old with the idea that we’d visit Paris later that year and turn my literal dream into a reality. But then, COVID hit a few weeks later.

By the time we’d be comfortable traveling to Europe, we instead were selling our house in New England and traveling around the U.S. full-time.

We had adventures in plenty of other amazing places, but Paris remained a bucket list item.

…until now! Our picnic in Paris as a family of three may have happened a few years later than planned, but it was a bucket list item that was exactly how I’d pictured, perhaps even better.

It was such a magical evening staring at the Eiffel Tower, sipping champagne, and noshing on local food that we’d nabbed at shops around town ✨🥂

— all the while, laughing & soaking up the night with our wonderful little girl. 💗

Do you remember when you truly realized that the world is wide and you’ve only experienced a speck of it? 🌎

For me, it was the eye-opening opportunity of a college study abroad program in amazing Sicily. I fell in love with Italy, and the experience made me realize that I wanted to prioritize traveling and living in different places when I became a “real adult” (or in other words, when I graduated the following year). 

Getting to return to the charming town of Taormina nearly two decades later with my family was a dream. 

I returned to Sicily in a different phase of life: Older — I’ve almost doubled in age! Wiser. A mom. A wife. 

Yet, still wide-eyed, always up for an adventure, and filled with wonder at the beauty of this world. 

Different, but the same. 

Taormina is still stunning, bustling with more tourists and more fame than I remembered thanks to things like “White Lotus” and Dolce & Gabbana fashion shows (one was happening while we were in town). 

And so, I found Taormina herself to also be different, but the same — and definitely still a magical place ✨

Taormina is still stunning, bustling with more tourists and more fame than I remembered thanks to things like “White Lotus” and Dolce & Gabbana fashion shows (one was happening while we were in town). And so, I found Taormina herself to also be different, but the same — and definitely still a magical place ✨ #sicily #mytinyatlas #travelgram #familytravel #italygram

Obsessed with my @airbnb view of both the sea & Mount Etna 😍 10/10 even though every walk home is a sweaty glute workout!
