Last minute gift ideas for nesters and home decor lovers!

FREE IMAGES I like to give gifts that have a lot of thought in them or I know the recipient really, really wants.  That's not always easy, especially on a budget  If I'm stumped I tend to lean towards something unique that will be a conversation piece in their home.  Here are a few cute ideas I found..

This alpaca blend throw is sure to be a favorite for the lucky someone who gets it.  So pretty!

Glass containers for display or even some new candlestick holders! Try to find candlesticks that are sculptural so they look nice even without candles in them.

FREE IMAGES Uncommon Goods is an online marketplace that focuses on uniquely and WELL DESIGNED objects, many sustainably produces and handmade. One of my best friends in the whole world used to sell her adorable handmade books through them back when she was focusing on bookmaking.

What I really love about Uncommon Goods, aside from their vision (sustainability, artist support, and partial profit donation to non-profits, is the celebration of creativity and individuality through artisan made products.

Since we just moved into our first home on Saturday (*phew), I am coming up with ideas and wish lists left and right for things I'd like to do with our backyard and home. Click here to see all of the cool stuff they carry. Below are some of the products in the Uncommon Goods Home and Garden section that I have my eye on:

We're in desperate need of planters for our patio area and I love that this one is so attractive and self watering!  Being a farm girl, I always assumed I'd do well with potted plants but I've learned that is not the case.

These birdhouses are adorable and handmade in Pennsylvania.

You can have these pillows customized to represent all the members of your family - including the furry ones!

This is a great gift idea for the more rugged dads out there who still love their tech stuff!

How clever is this doormat?

Love this terrarium!  Reminds me of the days of being an art student and spending classes in nature painting.

Perfect for my window over the kitchen sink

Anything strike your fancy?
