UncommonGoods Iconic Camera Bag And Much More!

Disclosure: Grandma Bonnie's Closet has not been compensated for the following product review. I received samples of the products mentioned below for review purposes. All opinions expressed are my own.

I was tickled pink when I heard I would be reviewing products from UncommonGoods. I love shopping gifts online and UncommonGoods is the place to find fine quality, handcrafted products my family will be sure to enjoy. Most of their products are made here in the U.S.A. With that being the case I can enjoy shopping and knowing I am supporting artist and designers in our own country. 
I selected three products to review and share with you today. First is the Iconic Camera Bag by Tommy Kronquist which you can find on this page: http://www.uncommongoods.com/sets/messenger-bags

Hand-flocked in Minnesota and made of 100% cotton. This army green messenger bag will be perfect for caring my camera, tablet and electronic cords. The main compartment is nice and roomy. Its strap and buckle closure makes its contents very secure. The two small front pockets have Velcro closures. They are perfect for sunglasses, tissues or other small items. 

Next is this great Cake Pops Book.
I tried this book out personally. It has complete instructions on making cake pops and cake balls. You do not even need a cake pop maker or cake pop pan. 
What do you think of the little owl I made? 
The step by step instructions are easy to follow. There are recipes for many different kinds of cake and cake pops. The book is priced at $20 making it an affordable gift for the baker in your life. You can also find other gifts for under $50 on this page:  http://www.uncommongoods.com/gifts/by-price/gifts-under-50.

Last, but most important. A Wildlife Bingo Game for the grandchildren.
This Bingo game is very educational. The grandchildren love animals and are going to have lots of fun playing this animal style bingo game. There are 42 wildlife animal cards that can double as educational flash cards filled with fascinating facts about bears, turkeys, porcupines and more. Recommended age: 3-11+, accommodates 2-6 players and is made in the U.S.A. 
If you are still looking for something with a bit more price. Check out the gifts under $100 on this page: http://www.uncommongoods.com/gifts/by-price/gifts-under-100

Readers what do you think? Have I found some good gifts? Have you completed your holiday shopping?

Great Christmas Gifts at UncommonGoods

I just love shopping for Christmas. I like finding a unique gift for that special person and seeing their eyes light up when they open the package. My goal is to hear squeals of delight and happiness through out the house. That is why I like shopping at Uncommon Goods. I have been able to find a unique gift for most of my family and friends.
For the budding artist in the family this Stencil and Pen Kit is perfect. It should be great for a child that has just a little patience when lining the stencils up step by step. The kit comes in a tin and has three markers and three templates. The large template has hair and hat shapes.The small red template has four face shapes to draw. The green template has eyes, noses, mouths, mustaches and beards. Any child who likes to doodle will enjoy this set.
Check out lots of girl gift ideas here.

Do you know a younger child who wants to build models like their father or brother? It is frustrating for a young child to want to build a complicated model like they see a loved one doing but they just don't have the patience or skills. The answer might be Tube Toys!

This is an Eco friendly toy! The tube holds parts that are put onto the tube to create a toy vehicle.
That was fun to put together. I bet any young boy will get a kick out of building their own truck!
You can find other toys for boys here.
The last gift I really liked was a Portable Ping-Pong set. This is great for young and old alike. I think this is the perfect energy burning game that the whole family can play. The set comes in a nice carry-all-bag with a drawstring. The ping-pong balls are stored inside the expanding net.
The handle on the paddles retract inside making for easy storage.
At one time grandpa was the ping-pong champion in college. We will sure have fun playing ping-pong with the grandchildren over the Christmas holiday.
