holiday gift ideas for the men + a giveaway from uncommongoods!

friends, i am so excited to share a little series i am working on throughout the holiday season! on wednesdays i am going to share a unique gift idea for those special people in your life. these gift ideas will be thoughtful, meaningful & unique. 
& today is no exception! 
friends, have you heard of uncommongoods
i love this company & their hearts. their goal is to feature handcrafted designs that don’t hurt the planet, people or animals. most of their products are created right here in the united states!

i love that we can support companies this holiday season who have a mission to do good in this world.

& so i decided to craft up two holiday gift ideas for those men in your life using a six pack of beer & two products from the uncommongoods shop

first up is this fantastic wooden beer caddy. we have a beer caddy that i gifted luke a couple of years ago. we carry it to all of our little get-togethers & it’s just so handy. i love that this one has the bottle opener, too. 
to make this caddy “giftable”, i simply added the recipients favorite new belgium beer & added a lovely burlap bow around the sides. i included an adorable tag from the dollar bin at the craft shop. we plan to gift this wooden caddy & six pack to luke’s brother who enjoys a good drink with friends. 
total cost: $54 – a great gift price point for the husbands, partners, boyfriends, brothers & dads in your life.

next up is this fantastic beer opening glass. at $13, this glass is a perfect stocking stuffer or hostess gift to your holiday parties. this pint glass is made of thick glass with a stainless steel bottle opener on the bottom. 

to make this glass “giftable,” i removed it from the box, added shredded paper & placed a beer inside the glass. i clothespinned our family gift tags (purchased at shindig paperie) & a sweet little burlap christmas tree purchased at the craft shop to the glass. 
total cost: $15 – the perfect gift price point for a meaningful stocking stuffer or hostess gift

i hope that you love these gift ideas! i can’t wait to feature more ideas.
