Unearthing unique ideas to share with the travel-loving men in your life
Finding that perfect gift for hubby can be hard. I think Iโve exhausted every type of cufflink set and novelty golf gear I can find for Mr Globetrotter.
Heaven forbid I donโt want to be in trouble for buying the โwrongโ electronics item againโฆ. (though, to be fair, anything can beat the doorbell he bought me for my last birthday. Yes, I’m serious. We did need one).
An added challenge for us living in the UAE is pretty much all unique gifts need to be mail-ordered in tooโฆ. This means we only have a matter of weeks to get our Christmas shopping finished this year. Gulp!
Introducing Uncommon Goods?
Here to the rescue, I’ve discovered the treasure trove Uncommon Goods. Not only do they have a huge range of unique products for the travel and gadget lover (suits my Mr. Globetrotter down to the tee), but I also love the companyโs philosophy where everything is about sustainability.
No, this isnโt just about โbeing greenโ โ though eco-friendly and recycled products are important; the small businesses and artists they work with are encouraged to make their products in a socially and environmentally friendly manner, and there are certain products that they wonโt sell on their platform.
Sustainability and fair treatment also carry over into their workplace. Oh, and did I mention at check out thereโs also an option to donate to a not-for-profit cause โ all a part of the giving spirit at this time of year, right?

These are such great suggestions! I never know what to get my husband. He would love the Backpack. We both have those soundproof headphones and agree they are a must when traveling.
Love all the suggestions! Thinking of getting our Daddy C the Bluetooth tag for keys and maps for the kids.
That Bluetooth tag is an essential!!!
Sustainability, fair treatment and giving back – the type of shopping I could get excited about! Great find Keri…X
Got my shipment yesterday Shea, can confirm they deliver to the UAE!
Great ideas! It’s always hard to pick gifts for men.
