Mother’s Day is less than 2 weeks away. Have you thought about what gifts your Mom would like? As a Mom, I know how hard it is to shop for me and for my Mom. My family gave up many years ago because I never really liked what they chose for me (a wool scarf that makes me itch all over, I’m thinking of you!). When Uncommon Goods invited me to shop on their website for a Mother’s Day gift, I was super excited. I have been a fan of Uncommon Goods for more than 10 years. It is the perfect place to find a unique gift for everyone in your life. Uncommon goods has all the gems, all the really special things that the rest of the online stores do not have. When I am stumped on what gift to buy, I always turn to Uncommon Goods first.
Uncommon Goods opened in 1999 in Brooklyn, New York. It is a privately owned retailer that specializes in handcrafted gifts, unique jewelry, and designer decor that is created in harmony with the environment. Their mission is to provide a platform for artists and designers, and more than half of what they sell is made by hand! More than 30% of what they sell is created from recycled materials.
One of the coolest reasons why you should shop at Uncommon Goods is the Better to Give program. In 2004 Uncommon Goods began donating $1 from every single order that was placed. When you place your order you can decide which non-profit charity your purchase will benefit. In the past 12 years, Uncommon Goods has donated over $1 million dollars to charities around the world!
Today I am sharing 3 Mother’s Day Gifts that I personally chose and I have been enjoying very much. The first item is the Deep Sea Sand Art by Klaus Bosch found here. When I was young I had a toy similar to this one. I would look at it for hours every day. Watching the swirling sand was always very calming to me. This deep sea sand art is just as calming as I remember it. You simply turn the round disc and watch the sand and water cascade. My children are enjoying it now, just as much as I did. If the person you need to buy a gift for needs some calming influences, this just might be the perfect gift.
The second item that I chose was this gorgeous blue healing stone mug. This mug is very reasonably priced and comes in 4 colors, each with a different healing stone. You can see all 4 of the mugs on this page. The healing stone mug is hand thrown and includes a beautiful stone right where your thumb rests. I just love drinking out of this mug. I feel calmer when I am holding it and each mug is one of a kind. I think every Mom would love this mug. It is one of those, “you can’t go wrong choosing this” gifts. Choose your Mom’s favorite color or stone.
My final gift is pictured above and is appropriately named, Mom’s Little Vase. My daughter loves to go on walks with the dog and find little flowers along the way. She is so proud to pick a flower for me and present it, while all I am thinking is, “I hope it stays alive for a few minutes”. This vase is perfect for all the little flowers your child picks for you. My daughter knows how much I love lilacs so she brought me this bunch of lilacs for my little vase. This vase is a mixture of so many beautiful colors and every lilac, dandelion or daffodil looks just perfect inside it. Mom’s Little Vase can be seen here.

I love that vase. It is super cute and a great idea for Mother’s Day!
Thanks Alanna, this vase is one of my favorite items on my desk, especially when it is filled with special flowers from my daughter.
Love the blue pottery. Looks like they have some great items.
Uncommon Goods has some great gift ideas, I hope you check them out!
Oooh, I love that mug. These are great gift ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Lecy! I am in love with this mug, it fits perfectly in my hands.
That sand art is so amazing! All creative ideas. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
The sand art is so cool and so mesmerizing! I could look at it for hours and so can my kids. It really would make a great gift!
I LOVE that color mug! I have to go check it out and see if they make it in a pitcher size. That would be so stunning for the summer with nice fresh ice water or lemonade. So pretty and i love that it’s handmade.
I totally agree with you, it would be a gorgeous pitcher this summer!! The color makes me happy each morning, I really know how to buy myself gifts that I love. 🙂
These are lovely gifts for Mother’s Day! I really like the Mom’s Little Vase – my son is always collecting flowers for me from outside (although mostly dandelions) but such a sweet way to display! Thanks for sharing!
Erin, a dandelion would look so cute in this vase. We have personally tried it out already!
Love all of these gifts and the idea of giving twice. I love that Uncommon Goods gives you the opportunity to donate to charity. Great idea.
I agree with you Toni! When a company gives back, it makes you want to shop there more often. I hope you check out all the goodies that Uncommon Goods has to offer, they have so many cool items!
Wow, such lovely ideas! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you so much Tawni and thank you for visiting.
I am a huge Uncommon Goods fan! They have the most unique and cool gifts for just about everyone!
I totally agree with you Dana! Uncommon goods is one of my favorite online places to buy gifts.
I love that they give to a charity of your choice! I’m awful to shop for so this would be perfect to send to my husband 😉
I think you should send your husband a link to this post? My husband also never knows what to buy for me. I usually choose things for myself!
These are great gift ideas. I like that they are things I’d never think of. I’m going to guess that the healing touch mug is on the Top 25 gift list.
Thanks for visiting Julie. Nope, the healing touch mug was not on the top 25 gift list!
I love everything pottery! I love shopping at Uncommon Goods too, but haven’t gone there for a while. I’m gonna go check the out for some new things I need to update my home decor. 🙂
I am positive you can find some nice home decor items at Uncommon Goods! They have so many wonderful options.
Such great ideas girl!
Thanks Neely!
I love that colorful little vase so much!
Isn’t the vase so cute! It is on my desk with a little dandelion right now, making me very happy!
These gifts are awesome! I even went to the site and have found a new shopping place as I love finding unique gifts for loved ones. That vase is perfect. My son does the same thing when we take walks, or even walking from the car into the house. :] Thanks for sharing!
Isn’t it a great online shopping site? I am so glad you discovered it. It is the perfect place to find a Mother’s Day gift your Mom will love.
Such gorgeous gifts. That mug is fantastic, and the vase is beautiful. I’m going to check out the site and drop a few hints to my husband.
Husbands appreciate hints and suggestions on where to shop, that is for sure! Thanks so much for visiting.
I love the healing stone mug. So super cute!
Thanks Ann! I am in love with this mug. I am kind of sad the cold weather is over because then I would have been using it all day long. My morning coffee tastes delicious in it, that is for sure. Thanks for visiting.
What a pretty vase! Perfect for spring flowers 🙂
Thank you! It is perfect for my desk as it does not take up too much room. Thanks for visiting.
These are gorgeous pieces. I need to start brainstorming what to get my mom and these definitely sparked some ideas! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome! Mother’s Day really snuck up on me this year. I am positive you can find a few things your Mom will like at Uncommon Goods!
That vase is so pretty!! I’m thinking of getting my mom just a little basket of fun things I know she’d like. Same with my mother in law. I have no idea what my husband and kids are doing for me, but after a bust of a birthday, I have very low expectations!
I do much better choosing gifts for myself!! I love the idea of a basket of goodies for your Mom and MIL. Maybe you can leave the link to Uncommon Goods open on your computer? Hint, hint?
That vase is just gorgeous!! I love sending my mom flowers for Mother’s Day and keeping it pretty classic. I don’t get to see her and this is just one way she gets to know I care!
Sending flowers is perfect when you live far away. I hope you check out the flowers that Stargazer Barn sell, they are super high quality and last such a long time!
These ideas are amazing. I am all for heart felt mothers day ideas and these definitely gave me some inspiration. I can’t believe how close M Day is!!
Time flies each year. I also cannot believe Mother’s Day is almost here. So happy you liked these ideas. Enjoy your Mothers Day!
Such unique gifts! That last vase is stunning!
Thank you so much, Karin! I am so glad you like my suggestions. Thanks for visiting.
Love the gift ideas
Thank you Janelle! I am so glad you liked these ideas.
Uncommon goods seems to be such a gem. Their stuff is super cute and I know my mom would love it. Your three gifts are all so cool, I bet they all made top 25!
Only one of my gifts is on the top 25 list! No one has guessed it yet 🙂 I agree with you, Uncommon Goods is a real gem of a company!
That little vase is so pretty. My boys love bring me flowers too.
It is so cute when kids bring you little flowers, and now when they do I have a perfect place to put them!
Ooo so many fabulous Mother’s Day gift ideas!!! I’m just inlove with that vase!
Isn’t this small vase so cute!! I just love it.
I love the handmade touch these pieces have! And I love supporting artists and small businesses. Great list!
Thank you Cole! I just love that Uncommon Goods supports actual artists. It is awesome. So glad you enjoyed my list and thanks for visiting my blog.
I’m struggling to think of something for mum this year, so this has definitely helped me in my quest. 🙂
Christie’s Take on Life. x
So glad I could help a bit!
I’m with you on Uncommon Goods. I’d never buy for myself, but gifts, bring it on! I’m mesmerized by the sand art. It looks like something that would entertain me for hours.
The sand art is so awesome! I know you would love it too.
I am going to quickly move away from this post because my mum is no longer here
I am so sorry to hear that. These gift would be lovely for another occasion.
really like that last vase in the post! really pretty 🙂
I love this little vase so much. It really makes me smile all day long.
I would be happy to receive any of these gifts! I especially love the blue healing stone mug! Maybe because blue is my favorite color! Hehehe
I agree with you, this shade of blue is just amazing. I am love with my new mug!
