Brighten up the holidays with eco-candles

by Jennifer on November 23, 2008

During the holidays, I’m pretty sure candle sales go sky high. Everyone I know is looking for a decent candle; or actually more than one.

Any of these will also make a great eco-holiday gift.

Soy Candle in Mango Wood Tray (above) – Sage and pomegranate soy-beeswax blended candle, served up in a hand carved mango wood tray. You can reuse the tray when the candle has burned down.

Ruby Red Stoplight Pendant Lamp

by Jennifer on March 2, 2008

The Ruby Red Stoplight Pendant Lamp is a unique and very cool hanging light fixture uses discarded traffic light glass lenses. Colored texture against satin aluminum. You could hang them in a series or go it alone in a smaller space. At the very least you’ll have one of the more unique lights on the block.

This is a great way to use a reclaimed item, that otherwise would simply languish in a landfill. Available at Earth Friendly Goods.
