This Cue n’ 8 salt and pepper set is perfect for the green pool shark in your life this holiday season. Created by UK designer Alex Turner and made from “used and bruised” standard British 8 pool balls. Very cute, recycled, and not a bad price – a great gift idea.
Lite2Go is way fun, and I think it would make a great green holiday gift. Take a look:
Lite2Go is about as fun as a low-key lamp can get. The lamp packaging becomes the recycled polypropylene shade, the instruction booklet and label are printed on recycled paper with eco-friendly inks, and it comes with a CFL bulb. It’s a very neat idea. I love that everything is used to make the lamp. Kids would get a kick out of that.
Just in time for the holidays – how to recycle paper! If you recycle your old paper you can make great custom gift wrap for smaller gifts, or if you have a large frame, bigger gifts. You can even make a lot, and bind it into a journal. Homemade eco gifts rock.
I’ve made paper in the past, and good additions include natural plant dyes, small flowers and leaves, and even some herbs and spices. All of these additions, added while your paper is drying can turn plain recycled paper into a work of art.
Watch this video and learn how to recycle your own paper into new and improved paper.
