Summer is wedding time, and if you’re like me, you might be running out of ideas for great, eco-friendly gifts. I try to give native trees or bushes from my local nursery (a great gift because they add value to a home, are not too expensive, are pretty, and they suck up CO2 to boot!) But some friends are not into planting and landscaping, or live in apartments in New York City, which is why I’m so excited about Uncommon Goods. Seriously, not only is their stuff ‘not the usual gift crap’, to quote myself, but they also have a whole recycled section (10 pages of it!). Check out some of my favorite picks below.
Lamps Made of Old Circuit Boards, $220-$280
Basket Made from Wine Barrels, $215
Recycled Glass Plates, $72
And if you’re feeling particularly generous…..
Chair Made from Old NYC Street Signs (really lights up!), $3,700
Recycled Pinball Machine, Now a Table, $2,800

those lamps are especially nice. I also really like these tables that seemed like they could belong in your set of items:

figured this was kindred spirit territory!
