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.

    Its great you guys are (finally!!) using this to make it a bit easier on yourselves, but I really miss the questions too!

    Weirdest style I ever tried was styling my room in something I called Depeche Mode Meets the Street and my 12-year-old self was not equipped to pull it off. It involved a lot of purple, tiger print and gigantic stylized stick figures dancing and singing on the wall and didn’t stay up for long.

    How funny! Uncommon Goods seems to be the one catalog I don’t get–yet. One of my friends was telling me how it was the only catalog she actually looks at when it comes. Just peeking online. Did you see the dog silhouettes? Alas no Burgers, but many other breeds.

    Ah yes, the dreaded wallpaper removal,otherwise entitled, “What was I thinking?!” Really,that was the question my husband and I were asking each other when stripping the Williamsburg blue and mauve wallpaper we put up in 1986. The one thing we learned from all that effort was that we will never put up wallpaper again!

    Uncommon Goods is my go-to website for those hard to buy people (like my mother and father :-) ) I’ve also had great success with secret santa gifts for co-workers! Just the right amount of quirky!! Best of all (though probably worst for my wallet), I can always find something for myself while I’m browsing!!!

    Every time I see something really cool and different it is from Uncommon Goods. I got their catalog for a while though and it seems to feature only the “airplane catalog” type stuff. The website is definitely better!

    No matter who wins, I definitely think you guys need a Custom Pet Pillow of Burger!

    I just love the fact that your giveaways don’t force us to like/follow/tweet or do anything else. My Pinterest feed is jammed up from following people because of competitions (well, for a while before I cull them). I don’t even enter most of them anymore because of that so bravo to you for keeping it simple and non manipulative!

    Hi thank you for the easy giveaway but i do have one question, is the $250 gift card only valid for the items in the picture or we can pick any other item from their site ??
    they only ships to united states ?

      The gift card can be used on anything on their site, we just showed some of our favorites. And yes, they unfortunately only ship to the US.
