UncommonGoods offers eclectic collection of gifts

UncommonGoods has launched an online store offering consumers an eclectic selection of creatively designed merchandise. The company suggests their store combines the treasures of a specialty boutique, the great finds of a craft show and discoveries from a faraway bazaar, along with some enduring classics.

UncommonGoods offers an array of merchandise for the home across a number of categories, including lighting, bed and bath, dining, accents, his and hers, and gifts. In the coming months, the company expects to broaden its offerings in these areas, as well as expanding to additional categories where the desire for creative, distinctive merchandise is important to consumers.

``We recognize that people are looking for ways to express their individuality and creativity in what they buy for themselves or give as gifts, a major challenge in today's chain store-dominated retail environment,'' said UncommonGoods' CEO David Bolotsky. ``Most shoppers have a tough time finding high quality, creatively designed merchandise at reasonable prices. The goal of UncommonGoods is to put the specialty boutique, craft show, and faraway bazaar on consumers' desktops. Together with our commitment to provide first-rate customer service and our competitive pricing, we're offering a very compelling consumer proposition.''

UncommonGoods includes some special features such as the Scout Program, encouraging consumer enthusiasts to become partners in scouring local markets and finding the world's finest UncommonGoods; and the Artisan Direct shop where artisans will be able to sell their wares directly to customers.
