Let no gift go un-wasted
It's a gift giver's worst nightmare - giving a gift they consider trash. Well why not just outright give them trash?

It's been said before, one man's trash is another man's treasure, and a few innovative entrepreneurs are taking it literally. For instance, you can get a durable tote made of useless flimsy plastic bags, or a beautiful goblet or tumbler set made from salvaged bottles.

Kwytza Kraft has a bunch of really neat ideas made from recycled chopsticks. The foldable bowls pictured below are great for camping or picnics - and they are amazingly cute, aren't they?

Everyone needs underwear right? How about a pair of all natural panties. If you're in business, your clients will appreciate recycled promotional products.

CafeTable.72.jpgHere's the real kicker though. Resource Revival creates neat and useful things from recycled bicycle parts, such as the entire table you see to the left. They also offer CD racks, bowls, bracelets, even can openers made entirely from old bike bits.

Although, if you're still having a hard time thinking outside the box, use the box instead and go for a few recycled cardboard ideas.
