Over the last 25 years, we’ve grown to approximately 150 year-round team members with thousands of packages heading from our home in Brooklyn to customers across the country each day. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Uncommon Goods is my first stop for gift shopping. Thanks for scouring the > planet to find these little gems for us, and for being the kind of company I > can feel good about supporting. > > a happy customer OUR PRODUCTS Our collection has grown from Dave's craft show finds to thousands of designs handpicked by our buying team, who search all year for unique goods from around the world. We also discover unique pieces through online submissions from our community of artists and designers. Thanks to our in-house product development team, we create our own goods, too. Every design we carry incorporates elements of creativity. We look for goods that: * Serve a purpose * Solve a problem * Stun us with their beauty * Are handmade with exceptional craft and skill * Use unusual, reclaimed, or recycled materials * Are made without leather, feathers, or fur * Make us wonder, “Why hasn't anyone thought of this before?” See our latest discoveries -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUR MAKERS The story behind a product matters to us. We want to know how it's made, who's making it, and the process that leads to the finished design. From potters to painters to jewelry artists to craftspeople of all kinds, we've worked with hundreds of makers over the years. We're proud to offer independent designers a place to showcase their work. > Something that's really important to me is ‘art into industry’. It's a saying > from the Bauhaus school. And I think that idea is really cool, especially when > working with a company like Uncommon Goods, where you do sell a lot of > product. Here the product's something that we make from start to finish with > our hands that we're putting out into the world. > > Emilie Shapiro, Jewelry Designer Mort Gerberg, beloved New Yorker cartoonist -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FORCE FOR GOOD RECYCLINGENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS * We use, and encourage our artists to use, recycled or sustainable materials whenever possible. * We choose environmentally friendlier packing materials. * Our catalog is printed on Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified paper. * Our products have always been leather, feather, and fur-free. BACK_HANDGIVING BACK * We partner with non-profit organizations through our Better to Give program. With every purchase you make, we're proud to donate $1 to a partner of your choice ($2 for Perks members). * Since launching Better to Give in 2001, we've donated more than three million dollars to causes we care about. * Through our Better to Give program, we've helped support worthy organizations including American Forests, International Rescue Committee, and God's Love We Deliver,. Learn more about them here. FAVORITEPEOPLE FIRST * Starting pay for hourly team members is more than double the federal minimum wage. * We believe in fair paid family leave. We offer it to our new parents and those on our team caring for sick loved ones. * We have successfully advocated for paid family leave and a higher minimum wage in New York State, and continue to support these efforts in other states. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDING B CORPORATION In 2007, we became a founding member of an alliance of companies committed to using business as a force for good. By passing an in-depth screening, we officially became one of the first B Corporations. We're driven to continuously evaluate and improve ourselves, while spreading the word about certification. To date, more than 8,500 companies including Patagonia, Ben & Jerry’s, Allbirds, and King Arthur Baking Company have joined the B Corp community. How did we earn this score, and what exactly does it mean? Visit our B Corp profile to learn more. WHAT'S NEXT As an independently owned business, we have the power to keep making decisions that align with our mission and 7 Guiding Principles. We'll continue to offer customers a delightful shopping experience while providing our maker community with a place to share their unique goods with the world.
