Did you know Christmas is 103 days away?  Have you started your shopping yet?  These days, most people do their shopping online and never step foot in an actual store.  You probably even already have an idea of what you will be buying for certain people, but what about that person who has everything or is hard to buy for?  Check out Uncommon Goods.  Not only can you buy a really cool and unique present for someone special on your list, your purchase also goes to help one of four charities of your choice!
