Recycled Floppy Disc Journal

3 people recommended this item

Description

I could probably make one of these on my own if I'd just spend a few moments digging through the garage for my old disks, but who knows - I may need those someday!! I'm just waiting for the old 5.25" disks to come back into fashion.

If you're in your 20s or early 30s, you probably played computer games on these as a child. (via Vat19)

Album Cover Sketchbooks - small

First to recommend

Description

Great gift idea for him or her! Could be used as a sketchbook, or as a journal (it's always more fun to have a journal with no lines anyway, more room for doodling!). Also would be great for any tween/teen, throw in a set of drawing pencils and they'll be set!

Facts from Greenfeet:

These cool, sketchbooks have die-cut album jackets for front and back covers.

Sketchbook Paper made from blue jeans.
Each recycled album cover sketchbook has 80 pages of recycled filler paper made from 100% recycled denim blue jeans.

Truly One of a Kind
Each book is one-of-a-kind. No two album cover sketchbooks are exactly the same.

TRIFOLD BILLBOARD WALLET

First to recommend

Description

Great gift idea for Him! And only $22! Your brother will love this!

Facts from Uncommon Goods:
The classic shape of the trifold wallet is cool again when constructed from recycled billboard vinyl. This unique material proves itself sturdy enough to care for all of your important papers, from cash and credit cards to that "buy one, get one free" sandwich card you've had since 1996. Simple velcro closure keeps everything in its place. Due to the recycled nature of this product, each billfold will vary in color and pattern.

Bike Chain Bottle Opener

8 people recommended this item

Description

Great gift idea for Dad, Grandpa, Husband, Boyfriend or your brother. Love this bottle opener...could even be a great stocking stuffer!

Has a great story behind it (from Uncommon Goods):
Graham Bergh and his team of gifted artisans in Mosier, Oregon make an amazing range of funky household items from tons of recycled bike parts. Each month they collect 3,000 pounds of used parts, drawing from 150 shops in 17 states. The parts that still have life in them are donated to a local non-profit group that teaches bicycle repair to children, but the ones that are beyond repair are made into cool things like this bike chain bottle opener. It's hard to believe their stuff is even recycled at all.
