Young House Love » Giveaways » Fab Freebie: Uncommon Areas

Fab Freebie: Uncommon Areas

What fun is a house without a little weird in it? For those homes lacking some quirk, uniqueness, or “points of interest” then this week’s $250 gift card to UncommonGoods may do the trick. Their site is well stocked with home decor, servingware, organizing accessories and even kids stuff that has a hint of fun injected into it. Personalized family pillow? Check. Cardboard side table? Check. Terrarium-slash-table-lamp? Yeah buddy.

Uncommon Goods Giveaway

Once again, we’re using Rafflecopter, so you should see a box load under this paragraph (might take a second) and that’s where you can leave your entry. This week the prize ships to the United States.

    Hey, I love the ease of rafflecopter, but how does it know who I am? I don’t recall ever signing up with them yet it has my name already. Just curious!

      No idea! Maybe on another blog you used it? Or if you’re on Facebook it recognizes you? I know it doesn’t reveal info (no spam, mailing lists, etc) so you don’t have to worry about Rafflecopter leaking your info ;)

      It’s more about wanting to make sure it has the right info for contacting me in case I’m ever lucky enough to win! I use chrome so I’m logged into google all the time, maybe that’s it?

    Easy to use tool but I miss the giveaway question you always asked. I guess I’ll just post/answer my own question :)

    What is the weirdest style you ever tired?

    Back in the 90’s when I tired to look like a “skater” (vans, billabong, bowl cut) but didn’t know how to skateboard.

    I love the Texas pillow. I live in Michigan so I suppose it wouldn’t be too hard to D.I.Y. a mitten shaped one on the sewing machine.

    I did use a coupon code for 30% off that worked!

    It is gOOds30

    Maybe I should have waited to buy anything and crossed my fingers that I would win instead? Oh well haha!

    I’m not sure why, for some reason this will not open for me. All the pictures are just a square with a little blue square in the middle. :-/. I have a message at the bottom, above this box, that says this page is not available with Google Chrome. I PRAY this is not a change with Google, cause I love it, and I LOVE YOU GUYS. I wait anxiously for your daily posts. :-D Is anyone else having this problem???

      Weird! We’ve never heard that. My guess is it’s just a weird glitch and within 48 hours the pics will pop back up. Sometimes people’s virus blockers take them away and then give them back a few days later…
