What Makes It Uncommon

Your birthday is like a private New Year's celebration—a chance to reflect and look forward to the milestones you plan on reaching in the year to come. With this sentiment in mind, Jill Henrietta Davis created her birthstone wishing ball to capture a single wish, accomplishment, or meditation every week for the coming year.

People often ask Jill why the wishes can't come back out, and she explains: "When you blow out the candles on a birthday cake, you don't tell the wish you made, otherwise it won't come true. But more importantly, memories are always more beautiful than photographs, and the same is true of wishes. When you look at the little slips of paper accumulating in your Wishing Ball, I want you to think about the big picture those messages convey. Rereading the notes would be like looking backwards, or trying to step in the same river twice."

  • Each shimmering ball of hand-blown glass comes with 52 tiny slips of paper for you to pause once a week throughout the year and record a message of hope or gratitude.
  • Roll up your wishes, tuck them in the tiny opening near the base, and they become a permanent part of the display.
  • Available in twelve brilliant hues that correspond to each month's birthstone.
  • Handmade in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Due to the handmade nature of this item, each is unique and will vary.

“When you relinquish the tools you take for granted ... you have to stretch and find new tools to suit the new situation. Sometimes it's scary, sometimes it's awkward, often it's funny, nearly always it's a great investment.”

While studying fashion at New York's Parsons School of Design, Jill Davis became curious about other art forms, and the first time she saw molten glass, her search was over. "Glass is the most challenging and rewarding material," she explains. "You can't bully it - you are perpetually persuading the glass into shape. Even master glassblowers cannot always get the glass to do what they want. It's this feisty streak that keeps me enchanted." Jill's solar-powered studio is based in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Thoughtful Gift

We gifted these beautiful wishing balls to the moms at our company. Everyone was delighted and loved how thoughtful and meaningful the gesture was. The wishing balls added a special touch, sparking smiles, gratitude, and even a few happy tears. It was a simple yet heartfelt way to show appreciation for everything they do—both at work and at home.

Sweet gift for my friend

The wishing ball was not only pretty to look at but also supported my friend's interest in mindfulness and setting good intentions. I bought a second for myself-can use all the help I can get these days!

Gorgeous ball to practice manifesting

I purchased this for a family member for her birthday. She's a free spirited person who loves affirming, self-care, manifesting, and reaching personal growth goals. This bright purple ball stands out in her apartment and I slowly see it fill up with more wishes and goals. The ball itself is not too heavy or lightweight, it's made out of glass so be careful when handling and always make sure it's on a flat stand. Otherwise, it's wonderful! I may gift myself one for my birthday as well. #sweepstakes

Loving this unique gift

I purchased one of these for my daughter, and she/we couldn't be happier with it. It's a beautiful accent to her room (especially when the light catches it), and it's created a meaningful and special opportunity for her to slow down and think/write. I'm hoping give more of these as gifts to other special people in our lives!

A heartfelt, beautiful, personalized gift!

I purchased 3 of these Wishing Balls as Christmas gifts for close friends. (And one for myself!) We have decided to use as New Year wishing balls, starting with January 1 rather than wait for our birthdays! We all love the concept of writing a wish, dream, goal, or gratitude statement, placing it in the ball and 'letting go' knowing it is done!!

The April Birthday ball is multi-color (blue, pink, yellow, etc.). Which birthstone is it meant to represent? Thank you!

Verified reply from Allison

The April birthstone is diamond. The maker displayed multiple colors instead of just white!

  • Texas

Hello, Can you tell me what the birthstone the December Wishing Ball is supposed to represent? I thought December was turquoise.

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! The color is meant to represent turquoise. Due to the handmade nature of this item, color may vary slightly from what is shown.

  • Rochester NY

I did not see an answer to the question: are the boxes marked with a birthday month or are they generic so any color can be given without regard to birthday month?

Verified reply from Allison

There's no spoiler here! The item box is plain. The interior has a removable artist's card with the birthday month information.

  • New Albany, In.

I have ordered this product before and loved it as did the recipient. What I'd like to know is the February wishing ball is purple in color? If so, can you make them different shades if ordering more than one? Thank You

Verified reply from Merve

The February wishing ball is a mix of purple and pink. You may also find the images of the balls here: https://www.uncommongoods.com/pdf/26446_alt.pdf. Because this is a pre-made item it cannot be customized.

  • KS

Does the paper come with the ball?

Verified reply from Melody

Yes! It includes 52 slips of paper.

  • NC

Is it possible to have these made with a larger opening so that you can remove the notes? I wanted to use this for bridal or baby shower wishes? Guests would write notes on the papers and the couple/parents would have a keepsake to read later.

Verified reply from Valerie

This wishing ball is designed to safely stow the wishes forever. If you do decide you'd like to remove them, you'd need to break the glass. A better option may be the Wishing Wall, seen here: https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/wishing-wall

  • NY

Super cool concept! Wondering roughly how many wishes fit in ball?

Verified reply from Valerie

This ball is designed for 52 wishes, one for each week of the year. You may be able to squeeze in a few more.

  • Pittsburgh, PA

Is it possible to have the instructions not be for a birthday but for Christmas and still give the colored birthstone balls but the information that is on the Wishing Ball?

Verified reply from Jen

While we can't edit the instructions, if you were feeling creative, you could create your own instructions to add to the wishing ball!

  • Belfast

I'm buying this as a gift and would like to write a wish on a piece of paper the same size as those included. Can you please tell me the dimensions?

Verified reply from Paul

Thank you for your detailed questions. The included strips of paper are 1" W x 3" L, although they do have printing on the back, that state 'Thanks' and 'Wishes'.
