What better way to show someone you care than by giving them a gift that reduces waste? All these products are “upcycled“, the process by which otherwise disposable material is transformed into something new and fabulous!

Delight.com carries gorgeously green glass earrings made from 100% recycled glass from wine bottles by Smart Glass Jewelry. Seeing how all the women I know love wine and jewelry you can’t miss with these earrings (hint, hint Drew). You can get them here for $44.50. For that special man in your life, check out this Hybrid Wall Clock by Resource Revival. It’s made from a recycled bicycle sprocket and computer hard drive. It has a very cool industrial modern feel, that’s perfect for his office. Also for sale at delight.com for $35.75.

Etsy is my favorite place to shop for unique, handcrafted and upcycled items. [If you're not already addicted like me or {gasp} haven't shopped on Etsy before, here's the scoop...It's "your place to buy and sell all things handmade". Any artisan can quickly create a shop online and sell their wares for a small percentage of the sale.] Check out the blog here. I think these Really Red Cozy Coasters crafted by Trisha Brink Design is an adorable way to show your BFF you care this Valentine’s Day. The set of four coasters made of  a recycled wool sweater felt scraps with fun turquoise flowers is sure to warm her heart. $24.00 for the set. Or the Red Maxi Wallpaper Lunch Bag by drawflowers of Italy. The sophisticated vintage floral makes a sack lunch oh so chic for only  $25.00.

Does your Granny loves BINGO? She’ll get a kick out of this beautifully bound journal of re-purposed Bingo boards ($29.00). Find this and other fun creations at somavenus‘ shop on Etsy.  Lastly, a picture frame is gift you can get anyone, for any occasion. This frame compliments a 4×6 black and white photo beautifully. It is embellished with driftwood and beach glass collected from the shore of Lake Superior (by Black Eyed Susan Artwork, $30.00). There’s not much time left, so get shopping!
