Tin Can Angels 



Made in Guatemala by a rural cooperative, these bright, shiny ornaments are sure to add a lively fizz to your holiday decorations - they're made from recycled beverage cans.

Bottle tops become angel faces, while the sides of the cans are refashioned into celestial robes and wings.

A triumph of ingenuity and artistic vision over wasteful litter, these angels raise living standards for low-income families: a gift very much in the spirit of the season!

Quartz Ornaments (set of 12) 


The facets of these stunning crystals catch and hold light,shimmering like icicles on your holiday tree as they dangle from their silk ribbons.

Formed deep in the earth over thousands of years, crystallized quartz has long been a symbol of spiritual clarity.The ancient Greeks ascribed its ice-like properties to water so solidly frozen in deep caves that it never thaws.

Birch Bark Tree Set 


The lightly serrated bark leaves of our birch holiday trees offer the festive outdoor winter beauty of an evergreen, without the headache of sweeping up pine needles.

Easy maintenance isn't the motive here, their primitive yet contemporary natural design is as they flow out above their wooden stands when grouped together on sideboard or table.

Citrine Crystal Ornaments 



Breathtaking crystals, with their clarity and radiant hues,remind us like nothing else of the power and glory of natural design.

Hung as seasonal ornaments from your tree, they cast their own magical spell, reflecting changing colors of sparkling light from every new angle.

Bamboo & Reclaimed Teak Ducks 




Hand carved from sustainable bamboo root and reclaimed teak, these web-footed wonders come in natural finish or colors. Both add a playful note to any outdoor setting.

Each duck is a unique character with its own expression. Created from irregularly shaped roots, no two are alike. Large web feet provide stability on a flat surface.

Safe for outdoor use.

Driftwood Succulent Garden Basket 



Driftwood and succulents, two rugged, natural survivors of wind and storm - - paired together and given safe harbor in a compact indoor garden that is easy to grow and even easier to enjoy.

Surf and sand-smoothed Oregon coast driftwood forms a compact, rustic exterior for these handcrafted planters.

Hardy, low maintenance and eco-friendly succulents thrive for many months when watered no more than every six to eight weeks.

These are just awesome gift ideas. They look fantastic - especially the oil drum angel and the ducks - but I also really love that these both recycle items and create income in areas that really need it.
