You could get Mom flowers again this Mother’s Day but why not surprise her with a more unique gift for a change. Uncommon Goods is a great resource for Cool Mothers Day Gift Ideas. If she likes jewelry, be sure to check out the selection of Unusual Necklaces here. From jewelry to housewares, there’s something for every type of mom. Personally, I wanted some new drinking glasses so Uncommon Goods sent me a beautiful set of handmade glasses for my review.
Add some color to your kitchen or bar with these Woven Glasses from Uncommon Goods. Handmade from recycled glass, these textured tumblers come in a set — each one a different vibrant color: Glacier, Ember, Mint, Midnight, Fern, and Blackberry. Designed by Alfredo Garcia-Lucio, the glasses are individually made by artisans in Mexico. Each glass is wrapped in alternating strands of colored recycled glass giving them a texture that is not only beautiful to look at, but also functions as a grip for holding onto. The glasses measure 5.5″ high by 3″ in diameter and hold approximately 12 oz. Hand washing is recommended. The set retails for around $65.
I’m horrible about remembering things like hand washing. I’ve run these through our dishwasher several times without any problems. The glasses are a nice weight and I love the variety of bright colors. It’s funny how we reach for our favorite colored glass now when we get one out of the cupboard.
I really like browsing around Uncommon Goods because they have some really neat gift items you might not think of on your own. They aren’t just for Mother’s Day either! If you are recently married, be sure to check out their First Anniversary Gift Ideas too! You’ll find them here: http://www.uncommongoods.com/occasions/anniversary-gifts/anniversary-gifts

LOVE THIS GIVEAWAY
I would be so excited to win. I could then throw away all my glasses that say “taco bell” on them and have “Real” glasses to purchase.
