23 Gifts From Uncommongoods For Anyone With An October Birthday

Finally something they won't want to return.

1. A drinking glass etched with an urban map of your choosing for the loved one who moved to a new city recently — or maybe they just really love city planning.

UncommonGoods

Promising review: "The perfect gift. When he unwrapped it, he instantly pulled it out of the box and showed me which areas his family still lived and where he'd visited. So cute! Etching is well done and clear. Great purchase for sure." —Eva L

Price: $16 (select from 30+ states)

2. Or if they're a baseball fan, a set of two baseball park map glasses so they can sip whisky from the outfield, literally.

UncommonGoods

Promising review: "Perfect gift for the baseball fan/whisky enthusiast. These glasses are so beautiful and well made! My S.O. was so excited when he opened them up, he said they are already his new favorite glasses. Go Cubs!" —Tessie

Price: $35 (available in 13 stadium designs)

3. A scratch-off bucket list poster with 100 movies for your brother who's always talking about that one scene from that one movie that one time.

UncommonGoods

There's also one for 100 books and 100 Things To Do!

Promising review: "I adore the varied color schemes and the little minimalist artworks underneath the silver layer. Nothing is more satisfying than scratching off another square after finishing a fantastic film. The list of films is extensive too - some new, some old, some foreign, some popular, some indie, etc. I had no idea how many great films were coming out of India!" —Ollie

Price: $15.

4. A ticket stub diary to put their concert tickets, movie stubs, and boarding passes in, because your significant other is just as nostalgic as you are.

UncommonGoods

Plus there's space to write down your memories from each event, so it's really a special thing you can work on together.

Promising review: "I recently started dating a guy who is super into music and goes to tons of concerts. I wasn't quite sure what gift to get him and randomly happened across this. It ended up being the PERFECT gift. I wish I could post a picture of his book. Turns out he had a huge pile of ticket stubs he had been hanging on to and he had a blast putting them all in the book and walking down memory lane." —SunshineandUnicorns

Price: $14

5. A long distance friendship lamp so your BFF who lives too far away can know when you're thinking of them (especially on their birthday!). Simply tap your lamp and theirs will change color no matter how far they are. <3

UncommonGoods

Promising review: "My friend, who lives long distance, bought me this for my birthday. At first I thought nothing of it, but then we set it up the magic happened. It has a super nice design, very good quality. It definitely brings a smile to my face every time he presses his and mine lights up." —Cyan Fish

Price: $85/each ($170 for both)

6. Or the mid-century version of this lamp that'll do the exact same thing but might match their style a bit more.

UncommonGoods

Promising review: "It is delightful! I can let my sweet cousin know I'm thinking of her any time day or night. And, she can do the same! So special!" —CJ

Price: $95 each

7. A mason jar you can grow flowers in or an indoor herb garden in so their birthday gift is one that keeps on giving year round.

Uncommon Goods, UncommonGoods

How it works: Buckle up for some ~science~. There's this thing called a "passive hydroponic wicking" system" (I said buckle up!). It knows when the plant and roots need more water and it'll bring it up for them?! No more under-watering or over-watering! The jar includes the seeds of your choosing, just simply put water in the base, place the jar in a sunny spot, and let it do the rest!

Promising review: "Great gift for someone who has a birthday in the winter! Brings some sunshine to a friend who may be looking out the window, watching the snow fall, knowing the snow must be shoveled...and yet, a little bit of spring is inside, giving hope and joy." —Muffy

Price: the Indoor Flower Garden for $20 and the Indoor Herb Garden for $20 (available in three types of flowers and six types of herbs)

8. A birthstone-inspired wishing ball paired with slivers of paper so they can write down their birthday wishes, their accomplishments throughout the year, and any goals they want to focus on.

Uncommon Goods, UncommonGoods

Promising review: "Beautiful and practical! A fabulous gift to remind us of our goals and appreciation. The blown glass ball is gorgeous and the note tags are lovely with room to write a goal and something you are appreciative for on each piece. I bought it for my daughter who is starting a Masters program in Paris and will be a long way from home. To start off we both wrote a goal and something we are appreciative for and took a photo so we could look back on them if we wanted. We colored the edges so we would know those were our first wishes. I think this gift will help keep her focused and appreciative. I will definitely buy more for my friends. Thank you!" —Angie

Price: $32

9. A personalized amp doormat so the musician in your life can receive something they'll be jazzed about.

UncommonGoods

Can customize up to 16 characters.

Promising review: "My husband is a musician and the look on his face when he saw this was priceless! The mat is very well done and the personalization was the added touch. With the 3D effect of the mat you swear it was the real thing. This is such a great item for any musician in your life." —Joyce71

Price: $35

10. A make your own hot sauce kit your favorite foodie will love to spend hours coming up with their own recipes and the best news is, they'll probably share some with you!

Uncommon Goods, UncommonGoods

There are six bottles, a funnel, recipes, labels + gloves!

Promising review: "My boyfriend has recently been on a hot sauce kick. I came across this and got it for him for our anniversary. I typically get him watches or video game stuff. He was beyond thrilled. Loved it, very excited to create his own, name it what he wants, and share his creations with friends. The kit included everything you could need including gloves, which he probably wouldn't have thought to use if it hadn't included them." —megans

Price: $35

11. A custom New York Times birthday book of every front page of the NYT since they were born. This way they can see if their birthday ever made it to front page news.

UncommonGoods

Just note that their birth has to be from 1998 or before!

Promising review: "I just have to say I ordered this as a gift for my dear friend who is 99 turning 100 shortly, she reads her New York times paper everyday. And has since she was in her late thirties. I ordered the book well in advance for her upcoming Birthday in June. At the time of ordering she became very ill and we weren't sure her prognosis the doctors expected her to pass. I called Uncommon Goods and explained to them what was happening. They reached out to the artists who at that point must have worked through the night. Because the following day the book was delivered. I was shocked they were able to accommodate me like that. I really appreciate everything the artist and Uncommon goods support team did. My friend is on the upside right now and is enjoying her early birthday gift. Thank You all. Highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys the New York Times." —Allison

Price: $99.95

12. A flower necklace with a special pendant that has their birth month flower dried and pressed inside. Their smile will ~blossom~ when they wear it!

Get some birth-month flower earrings to match!

Promising review: "I'd give these necklaces more than five stars if I could. You see all kinds of jewelry with birth stones but seldom do you find such a unique gift like these necklaces which display real birth month flowers. My oldest daughter loves hers and my other daughter has worn her necklace to school every day since she received it. I'm going to buy another one for my wife." —Ziggy
