We love the internet – there’s a treasure trove out there of inspiration. \u00a0Here’s what’s caught our eye recently in the world of\u00a0DIY<\/a>\u00a0gifts, a trend we’re totally on board with.<\/p>\n

Our own Jonathan and Kira tested<\/a> the Beer Making Kit<\/a> earlier this summer, and it looks like they aren’t the only ones experimenting with DIY distilling: Design Boom<\/a> brought to our attention Netherlands artist Sabine Marcelis’<\/a> “Housewine,” a beautifully simple and functional display of the wine-making process.<\/p>\n

Another recent trend that’s right at home with UncommonGoods is indoor gardening, and now that flu season is upon us, a great way to stay healthy is by adding herbs to your repertoire of recipes. Consider making Jamie of My Baking Addiction’s Extra Virgin Olive Oil Herb Dip<\/a>. The Dip includes oregano and basil, which can both be grown in our recycled Grow Bottles<\/a>!<\/p>\n

While UncommonGoods specializes in gifts that are great for the home, we’ve also got goods that are out of this world – the Planisphere Watch<\/a> tells the time and<\/em> maps the night sky. \u00a0If you’re interested in DIY astronomy, check out Astronomy Today’s Sky Guide<\/a>, a handy tool for tracking otherworldly\u00a0occurrences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
