The perfect gift for intention setting

I purchased this gift for a close friend & family member who's constantly focused on setting intentions and practicing self affirmations. Upon opening, her face lit up and asked everyone in the family to step up and blindly choose a bird to set their intention for the next day. It was a beautiful bonding moment and the perfect gift. The pieces themselves are beautifully glazed, brightly colored, and a dense ceramic. #sweepstakes


Adorable!

These are adorable! My wife loves them. They're well-made and meaningful. I'm really pleased with them. Thank you.


Great gift

This is a really cute set. Nice, well made.


I've found these to be a super helpful divination tool!

I have created 7 general advice categories for the birds, as a way to help guide my day. Like: Rest, Take action, surrender, give back etc. Each day I look at the assortment of birds and based on intuition I choose a color. I then put all birdies into a hat and take them out random to place next to one of the seven Daily Directives. Wherever my color lands for the day, that's what I do!


My mom loves it

Got this for Mother's Day and she absolutely loves it! She puts it on the windowsill next to her bird feeder, so it has become a beautiful weekly ritual for her. Beautifully executed from the painting and packaging. #sweepstakes


Recipient Loved These!

Exactly what I was hoping - gave to my mom for Mother's Day. She loves them so much that she even travels with them. Very cute and colorful. Seemed sturdy when I held them out of the box too. Great gift for the person who has everything!


I love myGuide Birds

I have seen these in the Uncommon Goods catalogs for quite some time now. I always thought how neat they were. So I decided to buy them for myself! I think they are a few calming moments in the day as I read about which Guide Bird I've chosen. They are beautiful and colorful and I love them!

So, just to clarify...the birds do not have the name on the bottom of each? Just comes with written cards?

You are correct, there is no name of the bottom.
