BIKE CHAIN BUSINESS CARD HOLDER
1 recommendation
"I enjoy uncommon items. When I came upon this artist's work, Graham Bergh, I started collected each unique item he creates. I use this particular card hold on my desk at work and always get compliments. It is very different from you usual conservative and boring business card holders you generally find at office supply stores."
Uncommon Goods: BAMBOO SURFBOARD SERVING TRAY
2 recommendations
"No, this is not a surf board for cats. It is a beach-inspired tray for home entertaining. Go with the theme and add tropical fruits, shish kebabs, sushi or fresh veggies. You may want more than one if you are expecting a big crowd of hungry beach bums."
Uncommon Goods: Bag of Luck

Uncommon Goods: Branch locket by Catherine Weitzman
2 recommendations
"So many things to love about this little locket . . . I'm not sure where to begin. Perhaps the most striking (and least obvious) element is the real branch covered in recycled sterling silver which houses the gold starfish and aquamarine stones. AND it is handmade in Hawaii, so even if you cannot be at the beach, you can certainly net some of those soothing island vibes."
Uncommon Goods: Origami windmill earrings by Cindy Ng
1 recommendation
"Whether you envision these earrings as windmills or pinwheels, they are purported to turn around the luck of the wearer. The other magical property of these earrings is that they are folded from a single sheet of silver, as are traditional origami designs. If you really are feeling down on your luck (or now someone who is), consider purchasing the matching necklace."
Uncommon Goods: ABOUT TREES KIT

"Don't just hug a tree . . . listen to it. This kit will help you get started growing, measuring and appreciating a variety of trees. A great beginner's guide for kids as well as botanically challenged adults."
Uncommon Goods: RETRO TV TRAYS
1 recommendation
"Okay, so it's raining out and now you are stuck inside with all your guests and very little space on which to serve them. OR you have no idea where you are going to seat all the neighborhood kids who showed up for the evening. As long as you have a few of these neat-o TV trays on hand, you will have no problems . . . and you might even develop a theme around the trays themselves. Campy, but no..."
Uncommon Goods: CIRCLE KABOB SET OF 8
2 recommendations
"If you have ever used traditional shish kabob skewers, you know how unreliable and slippery they can be. All of your hard work dicing and slicing and cooking can easily end up on the ground or in the fire with one slip of the wrist. Well, not that these skewers come with a money-back guarantee, but their shape is certainly more appropriate and less likely to lead good food astray. Keep several ..."
Uncommon Goods: GROUND RULES BASEBALL GLASSES - SET OF 4
1 recommendation
"In my parent's house, baseball is serious business. Turning the station, blocking the view, cheering for the opposing team . . . all grounds for dismissal from the family room. Best to set the rules in place before the game starts with this cheeky set of drink glasses."

Uncommon Goods: Illuminated Raygun Robot Sculpture by Toby Fraley
1 recommendation
"Whether you are a part of the "Transformers" generation or remember watching re-runs of "Lost in Space", this robot is endearing in a otherworldly way. No mistake perhaps, since this is no ordinary robot, but one lovingly handcrafted into the form of a night light. He can sleep by my bed any time!"
Uncommon Goods: Illuminated Rock Star Robot by Toby Fraley
1 recommendation
"Who knew robots could rock ? ! Well, this one sure does . . . and he can rock your world a one-of-a-kind night light. Cleverly constructed from thermoses, vacuum cleaner tubes and other detritus, this guy may even be related to Wall-E (the animated robot charged with cleaning up Planet Earth in the animated film of the same name.)"

Uncommon Goods: RETIRED WINE BARREL SWING

"Every once in a while, I will sneak into a playground to find an empty swing.
