Recycled Wine Bag Or Wine Caddy

barbara

While my husband while busy helping his friend to look up the 5th wheel warranty, I was scouring the internet for unique wine bags or wine holders. We have a party to attend next weekend and we would like to present the host with a bottle of good wine. I figure that a nice wine holder would be better than the normal gift bag. I found the most lovely wine bag at The West End. It is made of discarded newspaper and coated in plastic.

Another one which I like is the one below which is made from pages of twisted old magazines. Using these recycled wine caddy or wine bag to carry the wine bottles is rather eye-catching, don’t you think so?

Oh I have just seen the cutest thing ever. The Double Dot Mini Cooler from PBTeen.com. This cool mini cooler is perfect for kids going off to college. Well, I’m not a teenager but I would love to have this in my room. The Double Dot Mini Cooler is just perfect for keeping pops or water in the dorm room. Besides looking very cool, it consumes less power than a regular refrigerator. Awesome. Comes in pink and brown.

I saw these cute Okra Mastard Vegetable Keep Sacks from Reuseit.com which are pretty handy in the kitchen. While you may not use it to keep your macanudo cigars, they are great for keeping potatoes, onions, garlic and more. These keep sacks protect veggies from the light hence you can have fresher and longer-lasting veggies. Plus, they do not take up space too. Just hang them on the wall to keep your veggies. If you want to waste less food, then do get a few of these keep sacks.

Turn Tap Water Into A Sanitizer

barbara

My friend who sell textbooks to school children, just moved into his new home a couple of weeks ago. He held a housewarming party last weekend and while we were there, I can’t help but notice his Lotus Sanitizing System which he bought from Amazon. This amazing sanitizing system can turn the tap water into a powerful sanitizer. Water treated with this system will kill 99.9 percent of the germs on any surfaces. It can be used to safely remove bacteria, viruses and neutralizes pesticides from food. You can even sanitize children’s toys, teethers and pacifiers. How wonderful is that? With its Oxyshield technology, the Lotus Sanitizing System infuses cold tap water with an extra oxygen atom, thus creating a natural sanitizer. I am very interested in getting one for my home now.

Totes Made From Recycled Material

barbara

I love totes made of fabrics, especially those made from gunny, burlaps or recycled material. I was browsing Etsy.com and stumbled upon some lovely totes at Vintage Junky Style. The totes were constructed using scraps from vintage grain sacks. How lovely! The totes are very sturdy and have been prewashed for softness. Another reason why I like these totes is because each of them also feature a removable flower corsage whihc was created from new and vintage materials. If you are looking for a beach bag, diaper bag or a bag for grocery shopping, just head over to Vintage Junky Style and check them out.
