Boutique gift shop in Fremont. They are closing but will be on Instagram. Picked up a pair on sunglasses and a crocheted Santa Hat from here ($15 each). The owner (?) is so cheery and passionate about her products :) which seem to be curated with such care. read more

I have been a customer since the shop first opened a couple blocks from the Fremont Troll. The quirkiness and variety means I'm always going to find something new. The owner, Jennafah, is happy to tell you about the store, her wares, and the area around it. Stop in for a chat and tell her I said hi! read more

Great little store. Customer service was wonderful, selection of fun items. Will definitely be back!!

Fun little boutique and gift place I was about to pass by. I decided to go in and I'm really glad that I made the stop! Lots of different things in this cute little shop! Clothing, jewelry, accessories, health and beauty products and in the case of my purchase refrigerator magnets! The magnet art work was done by a local Seattle artist as much of the product here is locally made. I fell in love with the magnets with the theme of two popular franchises for films butt heads... like in the case of Godzilla attack a Star Wars Snow Walker and other iconic pop mash ups. Folks that work here are super friendly and enjoyable to talk to! I will make a point to stop by again whenever I'm in the neighborhood! read more

The Uncommon Cottage - My Easter Island, Easter Bunnies and Space Aliens refrigerator magnet. Looks like a great time! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Sure, she's got cute things in there. I got a sweater that I like but... What an arduous experience. She would not stop talking to my friend and I and made me feel very uncomfortable. She made inappropriate comments about how we were "clearly queer" and talked about harassing a man in front of her store to us. It was unreal, felt like we were held socially hostage! Would love to have browsed more but I wanted to get out of there as fast as possible, which was not fast at all with the owner's incessant ramblings and intense energy. Will not be returning. read more

This place is great! The owner is super friendly and seems to have a passion for sharing others' work. The hand made items and stickers, pins, etc. I dunno it is worth taking a visit. The prices are fare and the art work is awesome. read more

A hidden gem in Fremont and Seattle, full of nice clothing, accessories, magical items and pizazz - Both options for men and women and especially bending in an alternative way for those seeking to expand their horizons and be a bit more riské. Wonderful and helpful staff, taking all safety precautions and a nice building to boot! Enjoy and thanks! read more

YAS Queen! The Uncommon Cottage has apparently only been around for 6 months, but the owner has been doing the retail game for years. The fact that Jennifer is originally from Brooklyn shows in the eclectic style she brings to the shop. Though the neighborhood definitely has more of a light and airy west coast vibe than underground NYC style, I was glad to hear that Jennifer plans to steer the Cottage's collection a bit more toward her own style (a bit edgier, some fetish items, less tchotchke) over time. The Cottage features mostly local area designers, many of whom Jennifer can tell you about from personal experience. This is a fantastic spot to go for a gift (so many unique items!) or just to treat yourself. Really cool and handmade jewelry, unique enamel pins, some Killstar and fetish-ware items, CBD body products, and more! Great prices, kick ass owner/staff, definitely give this shop some love. read more

I think this place has cute things? I don't know, though, because the owner pounced on my friend and I and would not stop talking or leave us alone pretty much the entire time we were there, which was a long time because the thing I was buying took forever to buy. Not only did she comment on our ages (I think she suggested I was 10 years older than I am? I am fine with my age, but it's rude to talk about that, right?), but she also hugged my friend non-consensually multiple times in a very sudden and jarring way. I am really uncomfortable with touching of any kind without consent. I felt uncomfortable and like I wanted to leave almost instantly. I wanted to buy a necklace for my friend that I think she will love, but it was an arduous process to get this woman to even ring me up. She talked so much that she followed us out of the store. I was making pleasantries, and talked about some things we have in common, but I really just wanted to get out of there and away from someone hovering over us like a vulture. She may be your cup of tea, and I bet the shop has really cute things. I didn't really get a chance to browse much because of the constant talking and hovering. What a weird experience. I will definitely not be back. read more

Love this place! I live nearby, and this place is the best. Probably the most fun shop to go to in Fremont, they have a really diverse amount of things, and very friendly and helpful staff! read more

Major fail. Store hours say they open at 11am on Tuesday, waited til 11:15am and still no sign of light or shop being open. Delayed heading to airport to still not get the pins for friends. Sadness. Even called the shop and only got voicemail that also confirmed open on Tuesday at 11am. read more

The Uncommon Cottage - call before coming. sign says open at 11am, left at 11:15 and still no sign of any owner coming to open. - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Since day one I've been in love with this store. Jennafah has done an incredible job at curating this gift boutique slash art gallery. You can find something for everyone when looking for a thoughtful gift. Jewelry, cards, socks, scarves, candles, table art, handbags, wallets, even CBD cream! Jennafah is a treat herself. Make sure you stop by to meet her if you're in the neighborhood. If you're visiting from out of town she'll be sure to put on her Tour Guide hat and tell you all about the secret spots most tourists don't know about. read more

Such a cute little spot! It had so many different items, I could spend an afternoon looking around. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. read more

This place is absolutely spectacular! The gifts are really fun and unique, and the owner is amazing. I used the uncommon cottage as a stop for a fun treasure hunt for a family. Everything was perfect! Even though it was a busy weekend during a global pandemic, the owner went above and beyond to make the day truly special. I strongly recommend going in here to shop or just chat because it's a fun time no matter what. Thank you so much! read more

Owner made me feel very uncomfortable, was asking intrusive questions and kept following me around the store talking at me. I would never re-enter. The selection wasn't really anything great either. read more

I adore this little gem. I stop in every time I'm in Fremont to grab a new candle or check out some of their new pins or apparel. I love the edgy/boho/casual goth vibe it throws out there. I am also super impressed by the owners unapologetic sense of self and awesome salesmanship. I was new to the city when I first stopped by and she gave me so many cool ideas for exploring without insisting only on her own store. What a cool place, totally a little treat within the Seattle concrete jungle. read more

I've stopped in here a couple times now and I love it. You guys are great! Looking forward to seeing it grow and evolve, sounds like you have some cool stuff on the horizon. Thanks for showcasing local artists! read more

The selection here is amazing, and there is a great range in prices, so you can gift shop for everyone. I especially love the jewelry, and have found special occasion pieces as well as everyday ones that still have a fun steam punk flair. Wonderful store! read more

This cute little shop is nice and tucked away off the main drag in Fremont. While it is small in size there's a lot to take in. Lots of cool and unique eclectic pieces in here, and they also carry Malicious Woman Candles and Killstar stuff as well. The staff here are just amazing, especially the owner Jennafah who is a friendly ball of energy who is passionate about giving you a great shopping experience. If you're looking for something that you may not think exists as a great gift, chances are this place may have it (or something close to it, at least)! read more

This is definitely a gem tucked away in the Fremont neighborhood. So many cute cards and definitely coming back here to buy future gifts!
