Hey gang, Valkor here. As much as I don’t mind giving/receiving gifts, I’ve always found it difficult, for starters, with the giving because I’m never sure what to get anyone; and the same can be said when people give me gifts, so on either side it’s usually a gift card or money. But if we look hard enough, especially with the interwebz literally at our fingertips, we can find the most interesting of gift just waiting to be snatched up. Thankfully I didn’t have to look very far for this next gift idea, which comes from the kind folks at The UncommonGreen; and if you’re looking for something for Valentine’s Day, wedding anniversary, or just a little something special, then I think they have just what you’re looking for in the form of UncommonGreen Glassware.
