As the holidays approach, I am contemplating on all the families I know who claim to have someone distinctly... unique. Maybe it is an uncle who grew up in a traveling circus, or the cousin who everyone always said, “marched to the beat of her own drummer”. These souls tend to be the ones who challenge other family members to consider all of the myriad ways to live. Maybe they are admired for their bravery in setting out and being just exactly who they needed to be.

That road isn’t always easy. The ‘black sheep’ and wild cards often had to endure years of challenge to stay true to become the dazzling, unique and wondrous souls they are today. Do you know one of these? In your family or elsewhere? Some people are so rare, so exceptional, that ordinary gifts just won’t do. Well, PalomaPottery.com has just the thing, uncommon gifts for those unique individuals.

Whoever this rare and wonderful bird might be, this eco-friendly artisan shop is sure to have the unique gift to fit. Their key hooks are a custom-made statement of personality and function. The Sea Star collection, in four colors, is a must-see. Funky and shimmering with artful expression. The wall hanging ceramic sea star features two hooks mounted at the base of two points of the star. Who would have thought?!

Paloma features Butterflies, in a range of colors, for the free-spirited. Fish in all shades of blue to green; Amethyst, Tropical, Sky and Sunset. These boast three consecutive hooks, maybe for that family that just seems to swim upstream, creating their own currents. Hearts, Maple Leaves, Houses and Tile. An expression of practicality and personality for anyone you might know.

Now, between October 24 and November 24, customers can receive 10% off any of Paloma Pottery’s custom Wall Hooks and be assured of matching unique with unique. May we all celebrate the joys of having these rare souls in our midst!
