A Conscious Gift

The exterior of this clock is made from 100% solid, original wood, and uses LED lights, which will last a long time. You can also charge it via USB. This clock, to me, also epitomizes minimalist design. It’s a clean, modern version of the classic alarm clock.

This clutch is made using upcycled / repurposed netting used in the fishing and construction industries. By using this eco friendly material instead of an animal product, this clutch is environmentally friendly and 100% vegan and cruelty-free. Something special about this purse, too, is that it’s handmade by Cambodian artisans. There’s also no bling and big logos. It has a clean and simple look.

In my opion, this side table / seat is amazing. It’s a perfect balance of how nature and simple design can show form and function. The tree stump section was gleaned from a wild fire prevention effort in western New Mexico. The wood has been kiln dried (important for the mitigation of insects, mold, fungus, etc.), leveled and processed.

Everyone could use a journal. I carry around one with me wherever I go. This one also already comes with a story. It’s handmade in Florence by a small family run business and uses 100% Italian recycled leather. It’s simple, clean and elegant. The paper inside is also acid-free, which means it’s easier on the environment.

This piece isn’t so much of an ‘essential’, but I feel that it illustrates a certain and important part of the minimalist lifestyle. Making use of simple, everyday objects by way of upcycling and recycling. This piece of decor makes for a good and very unique gift. It’ll look good as a desk accessory, or a home accent.

This ring is hand crafted from recycled sterling silver. It has a wide band, and, although it’s meant for women, it would also make for a cool men’s ring. In terms of the texture, the exterior of the ring was hammered and given a hand polished satin finish while the interior is smooth.

This is another beautiful, eco friendly minimalist piece that utilizes upcycling and recycling principals. This is a set of 4 cups made from rescued, recycled wine bottles. Too often wine bottles just get thrown away. Guess what. You can use that wine bottle even after you finish the wine. It can be turned into a cup. Everyone could use a pair of modern, environmentally cups. I may even get these for myself.
