Best Online Places to Shop For Unique Gifts – Blogmas Day 10

December 12, 2018

On the 10th day of Blogmas, my blog post’s going to be….

About the places you can go online to do some or all of your Christmas shopping! Money aside, I love buying gifts for people. I love looking around and seeing all the unique gifts there are! With that said, where can you go to find unique and interesting gifts for your loved ones? Here’s a few places I’d recommend!

Amazon

Yeah I know, it’s obvious Amazon is going to be on this list. However, have you ever checked out Amazon’s Interesting Finds section (With that black “Take a Look” Button)?! If you have no idea what to get a friend or family member, you may find something interesting in this little corner of their website!

I love that it looks like a mood board and a bit like Pinterest, where there are different sized squares with different random product like jewelry, stuffed animals, apparel, and little unique pieces of furniture and home decor!

Etsy

You probably saw this one coming too. Besides Amazon, I think my friends and family frequent this site for unique and/or handcrafted gifts. I get so lost on this site because there are so many cool things to buy! I often tend to get lost in the more expensive stuff too… wonder why!! I also find myself sometimes wishing I could do what these insanely talented artisans have done 🙈

Uncommon Goods

Uncommon Goods is another really cool website that you need to check out if you haven’t, already! Uncommon Goods is like Etsy, where it supports many independent artists and small businesses, offering you a variety of interesting goods! I seriously love it. There were some things I put on my wish list from Uncommon Goods … all expensive stuff, of course.

The Grommet

Last but not least, The Grommet. This is another site just like Etsy and Uncommon Goods where they support local makers and small businesses, but I feel like it’s their more mature-looking sibling. They actually offer a membership in which you pay $49 a year and you get free shipping without minimum + 10% discount on everything. However looking at the fine print, it states the free shipping offer only applies to “all products that travel by regular ground shipping in the 48 contiguous states”. Sorry, everyone else…

ANYWAY, you’ve only got to worry about that if you want to be a member! I think it’s neat how the details are neatly and clearly laid out with every item you look at, so there’s no question as to what it’s made of or what its dimensions are. A cool thing they’ve got is their “Surprise Me!” button. If you are overwhelmed with all of the categories, just hit that button to see something random. 

Happy shopping!! 🙂

    I didn’t know about that secret part of Amazon – thank you for telling us about that. I had an Etsy shop and sold NOTHING at all sadly 🙁
    I think online shopping is great but in the UK many High Street shops are closing because of it.

      You’re welcome! they have some cute curated items that you may fancy! Online shopping seems to be the big thing to do nowadays and it is sad, it’s making some of the physical stores close! There’s just so much more selections online. So sorry you didn’t get to have a good time with your Etsy shop! I was just thinking of making one myself one day

    Fab little list, I always use Amazon, especially if I’m running out of time, it’s such a life saver! And Etsy always has such cute and thoughtful gifts, although it’s not always great for last minute just in case it takes too long to deliver!

      Amazon IS amazing!! Amazon Prime has spoiled me even further 🙂 If I order from Etsy I try to make sure I’m in no rush or I get it WAAAY in advance hehe

    Etsy is my first stop for anything unusual! I don’t tend to have much luck with Amazon, and I haven’t heard of the others so I will need to check them out. Thanks for sharing!

      Yess for anything unusual it would have to be Etsy! I go to Amazon if I already know what I want to get, but as for interesting and unique finds, I may not go there 🙂 Thanks for reading Ruth! x

    I use Amazon all the time but didn’t know about the take a look button! Thanks for the tip, I’m going to find that really useful! X

So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gif So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gift to me ?🤣 I got to try this sakura pink metallic color on my hair and as I expected, the color didn't show up as it showed on the box. I said in the survey I have black hair and still some remnants of blonde in my hair, but not much? Still, somehow I got chosen for this campaign 🤣 it DID however turn my roots a nice reddish brown color? The ends where my hair was blonde are purplish pink. I really wish I was back to full blonde so I could try this out! It would look soo pretty. Regardless, even though it didn't work as I suspected, I still appreciate the color tinting 🤭💖 TLDR: it works! But you need fairly light hair for it to work. Even the box says so. 🤣🙈

Hello! 🥰 Long time no see eh? I'm back in schoo Hello! 🥰 Long time no see eh? I'm back in school after a week break for Thanksgiving. I actually got a decent picture of myself during Thanksgiving but forgot to post it hehe 😆 we spent Wednesday night at my cousin's new house for Thanksgiving and then had more Thanksgiving food during Thanksgiving. 🤣 I'm so stuffed but I miss the blueberry pies and pecan pies! They went too fast 😭😭 Also, meet Chewy, my cousin's toy poodle 🥺 isn't he cute? He doesn't wriggle around when you hold him which is the sweetest thing 😍😆

I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @inf I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @influenster because they know I'm gonna be dying now that school has started back up again. 🤪🤪🤣 I am actually running out of toner so I am so freaking glad part of this care package involved the @humphreyswitchhazel toner! I've never tried anything with witch hazel but it's something I'm eager to try. 
.
I don't do much for my hair either so I think Influenster knew I needed to treat my hair with more love. When I have free time this weekend I'll be trying the @garnierusa hair mask and let y'all know what I think! It kinda makes me nervous because my hair gets so greasy but idk maybe that doesn't affect that?? 😆 And of course, super grateful for the @advilrelief because I can never get enough pills in me to treat my headaches cause it's the time for me to apply to universities...🙃 Can you believe it?! I'm graduating community college (again) in may 2021 and will be transferring soon for my bachelor's!! So crazy!🙈

I've been dead in this account and I know it's bad I've been dead in this account and I know it's bad, I honestly sometimes feel like deleting this account but I think of why I started this in the first place and it makes me sad I've kinda left it... But I like to say I'm just moving on to different goals and that's okay! I still don't know what I'll do with this account, maybe I'll leave it open and just post occasional (really it's rarely... honestly, who am I kidding 😂) photos if I'm somewhere exciting and new! Or flower pics 😂
