Melissa Bishop, UncommonGoods Senior Buyer–Children’s, Leisure & Desktop<\/center><\/p>\n

My hometown is\u2026<\/strong>
\nLos Angeles, CA<\/p>\n

My favorite product that I\u2019ve brought into the assortment at UncommonGoods is\u2026<\/strong>
\nKinetic Sand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong>
\nThe amazing friends, family, and colleagues I am surrounded by. Also I\u2019m a huge tech geek so I\u2019m inspired by Kickstarter<\/a> and TechCrunch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My guilty pleasure is\u2026<\/strong>
\nGoldfish crackers, sour candy, and young adult fiction novels.<\/p>\n

An uncommon fact about me\u2026<\/strong>
\nI play on two nationally competitive kickball teams. (Yes, really.)<\/p>\n

My favorite place to eat in New York City is\u2026<\/strong>
\nI\u2019m a sucker for restaurants with twinkle lights and candles \u2013 and great wine lists.<\/p>\n

My style is\u2026<\/strong>
\nCompletely mood-based \u2013 I\u2019m a chameleon. California casual, if I had to pick a lane. Learning how to dress for my first winter has been a comedy\u2026<\/p>\n

Working at UncommonGoods, I\u2019ve learned\u2026<\/strong>
\nHow to navigate the subway & survive in New York City. (I started at UG the day after I moved to NYC!)<\/p>\n

Would you rather\u2026 Have a front row spot at any sporting event you choose for the rest of your life OR get free stuff from your favorite clothing store for the rest of your life?<\/strong>
\nDefinitely front row at any sporting event! (!!!) \u2013 I\u2019m a football and baseball fanatic. Hopefully this choice comes with transportation to get me there, too, since I\u2019m far away from my Cali teams now!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
