It’s pretty cool to be green these days, ride bikes, use brown toilet paper, that kind of thing. But finding ways to rehash stuff you’ve got lying around can be a challenge. So Biome does it for you.
The two-store company is dedicated to providing consumers with socially responsible, recycled and green products. An old number plate that has been converted into a photo album, a travel journal, a spork - perfect for pork, so say Mindy and Mork.
Another recycled gift idea is the reconstituted 5 ½ floppy disk. Remember those? Yeah, neither do we. But now you can relive their glory days, writing down your fondest memories of holding six Word docs on a device that too often lost files in your very own floppy disk notebook.
Whether you're looking for all natural cosmetics, DIY paper making kits or eco-friendly Christmas cards, Biome provides, and that makes us feel good inside.
