Cocktail Hour with Uncommon Goods + {a giveaway}

UnCommon Goods Martini Glasses (5) copy 

One of the topics I love writing about here on the blog is entertaining. And although I don’t entertain and much as I’d love to, I’m always prepared for a party.

A couple of years ago I found a metal cart at a thrift store and transformed it into a bar cart.  It worked fine, but after living with it for a while I realized I wanted a larger bar cart.  Just so happens that I had a partially complete diy project sitting in the garage that would make the perfect bar cart.  The new bar cart has been painted but I’m waiting for some hardware that I ordered before I can finish it up.

Since the cart is almost complete, I’ve been on the hunt for unique barware to accessorize the cart with.

Out of nowhere, I was contacted by  Uncommon Goods, a company that sells unique designs and handcrafted gifts that are environmentally and worker-friendly. They asked if I wanted to review one of their products and I of course said yes.  After looking through the large selection of gift, home, kitchen, bar, art and jewelry items that Uncommon Goods sells, I found the perfect glasses for my bar cart.

The Shaken Martini Glasses are really beautiful in person and you know I couldn’t pass up with metallic confetti design and the gold-rimmed top.  I also love that the glasses are made of a thick heavy glass which speaks to their quality, and that they are made here in the USA.  The design is perfect for celebrating throughout the year and make a great toasting glass to ring in a new year.

The martini glasses are just one example of the awesome items they have on their site, most of which is made in the USA, half of which is made by hand and one-third of which is made with recycled or upcycled materials. I’ve also got my eye on this cheese board, these agate coasters and this fun artwork.   Uncommon Goods also has a great selection of gifts under $50 which you can view here  and unique jewelry pieces which you can see here .  And if you’re looking for a unique holiday gift they have a great assortment for all the men in your life.  You can view all the men’s gift here.

The great folks over at UnCommon Goods want to give you a chance to experience their products so they generously offered to give away a $25 gift certificate to one lucky reader.  You can enter the giveaway below. Giveaway last through Sunday, 2/22 and a winner will be announced on Monday, 2/23!
