The packaging of this product shipped directly from Uncommon Goods was out of this world – seriously, it took both myself AND Rich working together to get it pulled out of the box due to the extremely tight bubble-wrap packaging it was shipped in! In addition to that industrial strength bubble-wrap, their was another box inside of that! Open up THAT box and we finally have the Molecular Gastronomy Kit! Ok – so how about the awesome product I received, the Molecular Gastronomy Kit by Molecule-R from Uncommon Goods (with a 4.5 star review rating!). WOW – talk about a great company… amazing products, gifts, presents, & surprises for every person in your life AND they give back in so many ways!? How about learning… do you like learning new things? There is even a section on Uncommon Good’s Blog – Uncommon Knowledge – where they’ll teach you all about things you didn’t know you didn’t even know! Want to help your favorite organization while shopping? Uncommon Goods knows it is Better to Give… they give you the option to donate $1 to the non-profit of your choice with every purchase you make (in the past 12 years, they have donated over $300,000 to charities that way)! Talking about helping others Uncommon Goods currently supports the following charities as well… RAINN (the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization) American Forests (protects and restores forests worldwide) Women for Women International (provides women survivors of war with the tools and resources to move from crisis and poverty to stability and self-sufficiency.) Reach Out and Read’s (thousands of doctors and nurses promote early literacy, language skills, and school readiness to young children and their families in all 50 states) They are a privately-owned retailer that “endeavors to feature unique designs and handcrafted gifts created in harmony with the environment and without harm to animals or people.” They don’t just talk the talk either – even the lowest-paid seasonal worker starts at 50% above the minimum wage! They support and provide a platform for artists and designers (half of what they sell is made by hand!). MORE about Uncommon Goods – A company which does not just have GOOD in their name, but they DO GOOD too! They were founded in 1999 and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York. I had dozens of things in my cart – I mean how can you not love things like this or this or this! But then I had to narrow it down, I got it down to only gifts for cooks, and finally settled on this amazing Molecular Gastronomy Kit by -mostly because it was something I would never buy for myself and thought it would be amazing to cook and learn and play with!!! You know how some websites you start browsing and adding items to your cart to review and narrow down your choices later – and when you go to review you have like $1,000 of goodies in your cart? Yeah – well that was me on Uncommon Goods as I searched for gifts for women here. After doing a little happy dance that they thought I (me, seriously!?) was worthy of getting one of their amazing gift ideas, I started searching. The amazing folks at Uncommon Goods recently got in touch with me and offered to send me a product for me to review. When I have a chance to combine learning and food – I get quite happy!
