Give A Gift That Shows You Care

Whether you are looking for ornaments or decorations for yourself, or to give as gifts, eco-friendly items make the best choice.

Buying gifts made from materials saved from filling up landfills, or fashioned from natural, renewable resources, you can rest easy knowing you are contributing to the well being of our environment.

You can support skilled artisans by keeping used materials from filling landfills as you give them new life and purpose.

You can help make a better world by encouraging the continued use of renewable materials as beautiful handcrafted designs brighten your home or the homes of your friends and family.

Tin Can Angels 

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!

Large fluttery gold wings and her demure demeanor. Where she alights,good things happen.

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.
