UNCOMMON GOODS ~ UNIQUE GIFTS


If you are not familiar with UncommonGoods, you are in for a treat.  The company carries so many unique products for everyone on your gift or shopping list.

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, UncommonGoods is an privately-owned retailer that endeavors to feature unique designs and handcrafted gifts created in harmony with the environment and without harm to animals or people. The company run all of their operations out of the historic Brooklyn Army Terminal, including their warehouse where the lowest-paid seasonal worker starts at 50% above the minimum wage.  

The company's mission is to support and provide a platform for artists and designers; in fact, half os what they sell is made by hand.  Most of the products they carry are created here in the USA, and about one-third of our entire collection incorporates recycled and/or upcycled materials.  

At the core of the company is a great respect for the integrity of the creative individual and the belief that it is their responsibility to use their business to impact the world in a positive way.

PILLOW TALK ~ DOWNLINENS


I had planned on using my new gel fiber pillows from Down Linens in my guest room, but this is not going to happen!  I have fallen in love with these pillows, so move on over SN down pillows.


These pillows are a new high end gel pillow featuring extremely fine synthetic fiber technology, giving it a soft, comfortable feel much like down. The new gel pillows are breathable, washable and sold in pairs for the starting price of only $44.99 or $59.99, depending on whether the customer wants the jumbo or king size version and how much “fill” or firmness is desired.


DownLinen's parent company, Allied Feather & Down, has been selling down and feathers and superior fiber products to the outdoor industry for more than 25 years.

The 300 Thread Count cover with a square design come in a standard or king size. The customer can specify that the gel pillows be designed for side, back, or stomach sleepers, and all DownLinens pillows are hypoallergenic. 

DownLinens is offering my readers a 15% discount!  Use code ITSGELTIME15 when checking out. 



The online site also offers comforters, featherbeds, duvets and other fine bed linens.  I could spend the day here!
