I’ve spent hours online trying to find unique romantic gifts, either in my own present shopping or in making my thematic gift lists. While it’s nice that the internet provides us with a myriad of options, it can hours and hours to shift through all the content. That’s when I stumbled upon a fabulous site which brings together a carefully crafted list of original gift ideas: UncommonGoods. Not only do they have a wide selection of cool items, the company follows a serious sustainable approach. this B Corp company is social and environmentally responsible, plus they works directly with real artists and very small manufacturers. I thought it could be fun to share some of the unique romantic gifts I found on their site that are perfect for women, men, couples, newlyweds and big-hearted friends! Check them out below!

I’m already a fan of heart-shaped necklaces, so I fell instantly in love with this delicate and beautiful
