Well! This is new!***
I pretty much do all my shopping online and I haven recently found a new site to add to my list of ‘things I want people to buy me’. But since no one buys me gift (apart from bffer who bought me 5 bath bombs this week!), I go and find all the best gifts to give to my friends. I like to find unique gifts for people online (translated as I’m too lazy to walk round shops) and there are plenty of unique/ different gifts for me..I mean, my friends on Uncommon Goods.
Or Jess, maybe Jess would like a gift or two. Like these adorable unicorn booties!! She might be a bit big for them now, I would have loved these when she was a cute, non speaking, little baby. There’s so many quirky baby items that would be a perfect gift for an expectant couple. Or me, if Dave would just succumb to the idea of us having another kid. I mean, look, just look how cute those letters to my baby are!Deary me, they have fortune cookie baby booties! Toooo caute! I’m a bit of a sucker for cute baby things, especially teenie tiny booties.

Right, I’ll calm down with the baby stuff. There’s plenty of treats for us ‘adults’ too. I’m right in the mist of baby and wedding season, everyone is either papping one out or they are making a loving commitment to another human, bleuh. So it’s a good idea to have some cool gifts up my sleeve, I find giving a personalized gift is the best way to secure future babysitters. I got my bffer and partner a personalized print as a house warming gift, although if I had seen this clock I might have been tempted!

I love bits and bobs around the home with a sentimental touch. There’s plenty more personalized items to pick from whether it’s for a anniversary gift, wedding gift or just as a treat for you.
If anyone is feeling charitable today, feel free to buy me this print. Make sure you add in Popcorn the hamster! Very cute!

I do really like their site. I wish I could list all the items I’m loving, but I won’t do that. I would be really happy if anyone gifted me something from the site…Actually, I’m the big 3.0 this year…..and it’s almost Christmas…so if you need an inspiration for what to buy me I’ll just leave a few things here…..you’re welcome 🙂

It’s a bonus feature that the company seems to have a strong moral compass, oh I wonder if they sell those, goodness knows I could do with one from time to time. Their business practice is focused on providing good quality products whilst ensuring that their team members are provided with a fair wage and health insurance. They are committed to being as green as possible, most of their business is done online and if they do send out catalogs, they are made from recycled paper or paper sourced from the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council. My favourite point of Uncommon goods is that they don’t sell products containing fur or feather – I have seen videos of animals being skinned alive for it’s fur, it’s just horrific.
***I was approached by Uncommon Goods and asked if I would like to do a sponsored post for them. I’m not gonna lie, I had no idea who or what this was. Being a Google detective, I had a good auld snoop about the internets to see what dirty I could dish on em. I couldn’t find any dirt (I’m so cynical is actually getting ridiculous) so I sniffed about their site and I can tell you I am very happy to do a sponsored post for them. I absolutely love their site, the items are right up my street! Quirky, weird and wonderful – I stole that straight from my Bio on Tinder. Jokes.
Omg u got a sponsored post!!! Girl!!! Congrats that’s amazing!!! I’ve never heard of that sight but it looks like I was made just for us oddballs, I’ll b go checking them out! Xxxx

Thank you very much!! I’m so nervous to see what the reaction is as I never intended my blog for this purpose. But after thinking about it I thought why not? I do really like the site, iv bought from a similar UK based one. I love this kind of stuff 😄 now all I need is a thick pay packet to support my unhealthy online shopping habit.
Thanks for the support, really means alot to me 😍 xxx

It’s really similar to not on the high street, I order from them loads! Honestly I think it’s brilliant I’m so happy for u!! Cheerleading u all the way 😘😘😘 if u can make money doing what u love why the fuck not! It’s a nerv wracking thing when it comes to sponsorship but you come across as real and honest and this site is really somewhere I could c u shopping, therefore your keeping your integrity which is what people worry about!! Now if u did a sponsored blog post on how much you hate beans and how easy it is to have perfect hair I’d know u were lying 😂😂 xxxx out of nosy curiosity did they just randomly email you? I find the whole sponsorship thing really interesting, I know a bit about beauty sponsorships/products/affiliate codes from my old beauty blog but I’m just curious xx

Never! And Never! I’ll do a post on wild, dirty, whispy hair whilst eating beans! That’s my kind of post!
Thanks for the encouragement ☺ I like not on the high street also, it is very similar. So I felt I was still being ‘true’ to myself. Even if not, we shouldn’t let how others might view us influence our decisions. Regardless, I wanted to try it out as iv never done it before 😎
Yeah, they contacted me via my blog. I checked them out and when I seen the site I thought it was a good idea. I’m now looking at buying my first mansion, now that I’m a blogging superstar! Iv just handed my notice in….kiddin 😆
Ohhh an old blog? Sounds mysterious 🕵 it would be great to make a living from a blog, but I’ll settle for a place to vent for now 😊 xxx
