Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Uncommon Goods Unique Gift Ideas

I think most moms reach a point in life where giving them gifts becomes difficult. Unless they have a hobby or specific passion, it’s hard to find just the right item to give on Mother’s Day, anniversaries, birthdays…

But I think I’ve found just the place to go for unique mother’s day gift ideas – at Uncommon Goods!

Uncommon Goods has a collection of fine household, personal, and humorous items for gift-giving! Find wall art to jewelry, garden items to glassware, even games, puzzles, office items… the eye candy in their online store is amazing – click here to get started! I have a few unusual new kitchen gadgets from Uncommon Goods that will make you smile!

The OCD Cutting Board is perfect for an unseasoned cook like myself – now I can get perfect cuts and lengths of veggies, fruit, baked goods and more. Fine lines, a ruler and a grid are printed on the cutting board show you just how small to dice, mince, julienne – and several other words I’m now pretending to know! The board meaures just 9×12″ so it’s just larger than a sheet of printer paper – but perfect for chopping up veggies and small items. My crudite platter will be absurdly perfect next time we have company!

And, Friday night pizza night has gotten more interesting with this handforged, recycled steel pizza cutter (I call it our pizza sythe!). I’ve never seen anything like its dramatically curved blade and rustic design. There’s a curlique at the end of the handle and a signature stamp from artist Al Stephens. Stephens uses traditional blacksmithing techniques to create each cutter! It’s got a good edge for gliding through crunchy crusts and cheesy toppings!

My only two wishes are that the blade had a protective cover, and that it were easier to store – the handle (while beautiful and perfect for holding while slicing pizza!) sticks out too much to hang on a wall or put in a drawer without the blade being exposed. I’d love to safely display this conversation-starting item in full view (I am open to suggestions!).
