Seven Ply – “Turning Thrash’n into Fashion”
Apr 22nd
| “Turn thrash’n into fashion” with old skateboards that are ready to be recycled!
Important Note to Boarders! – You can send Lynn your own boards to be turned into custom items! (didn’t want that to get lost in this review) |
 |
Well, I’ve been meaning to get to this gift review for awhile now!
Lynn Weiler of Seven Ply contacted me about her handmade jewelry made from recycled skateboards, and when I took a look I immediately saw that this is a unique gift idea worth mentioning.
Lynn’s Seven Ply shop is hosted on Etsy, where the mission is to ”enable people to make a living making things, and to reconnect makers with buyers.”
|
My first thought when I saw the jewelry (and other cool recycled skateboard products in Sevenply’s Etsy shop), was not only would this be great for women in general, but especially for female skateboarders (check out Girlz on Boardz!) and for girlfriends and wives of guys who have a passion for boarding.
To get a flavor for the types of products (in this case jewelry and belt buckles), I have highlighted a few of my favorites below:
Earrings
 |
 |
|
| Checkered Love Small Hoop Earrings | Hazed Large Stud Earrings | Fully Flared Small Hoop Earrings |
Belt Buckles
 |
 |
| Road Rash Belt Buckle | Pot Belt Buckle |
Necklaces & Rings

|
|
|
| “So Fresh” Necklace | Two-Tone Hoop Necklace | Recycled Skateboard Bling Bling Custom Rings |

Diva Hairbrushes – A Daily Pleasure
Sep 25th
Jenny McLain, owner of Jenny’s Gifts and Fine Art, contacted us awhile back to suggest her line of Diva Hairbrushes as unique gifts. I immediately thought that these brushes would be a great way to give the women in your life a daily dose of artistic pleasure. (Jenny, I apologize that it took me so long to write this post!!).

The brushes make a very affordable gift (at only $10 apiece!). Whether you give a Diva Hairbrush as a standalone gift, or put it into a gift basket, the present is something the gift recipient will appreciate every day! (I personally think they would also make a great stocking stuffer at Christmas!)
The artwork is all ORIGINAL, and crafted by acclaimed artist Malenda Trick. You can also visit Malenda’s website to learn more about her, see her online gallery, see where she will be attending art shows, and even send a free e-card (and there is a great selection of cards to choose from!).
Ring of the Month? Never Heard of It But I Like It!
Jun 25th
 Cool Chunky Rings Store |
|
Robyn Klauer from Georgie Designs contacted us about a great gift idea her site offers.
We all know about fruit of the month, wine of the month and book of the month clubs…but how about a Ring of the Month club!? |
Available in 3, 6 and 12 month options, this is a great idea for someone who is into jewelry (or even better, order it for yourself and give away the ones you don’t want!).
Each ring is handcrafted and sent in a beautiful package featuring the ring of your choice. Not sure of the recipients ring size? Georgie Designs will send a gift card notification beforehand along with a ring sizer for them to email or call back with. Then they will have their ring in 1-2 weeks. Perfect!
The prices are reasonable for handcrafted jewelry with the 3-month club at $128, 6-months for $256 and 12-months ranging from $498-$558 (choice of silver or gold).
Go visit the site today and sign-up for the ring of the month club…remember, jewelry is always a great gift!
(Maybe a cool gift for Mother’s Day?)
