A Cool Green Gift for the Music Fan in Your Life

Here’s a new spin on recycled gifts (not to be confused with re-gifting, which may be a topic for another day).  Designer Jeff Davis rescues vintage LPs and makes them into hip coaster sets! Each coaster is cut from the center of an actual vintage LP record and has the original label intact. The coasters are protected from moisture with a clear mylar seal. Each set includes a clear case and 6 coasters in a wide variety of artists/bands/music styles with a diverse selection of label colors. Jeff’s fun, recycled creations have been featured in numerous museum exhibits and magazines throughout the world.

 

By rescuing discarded records and creating them into fascinating works of functional art, he also has created vinyl bowls (shown here) and snack trays which can be used for dry snacks or just for a cool decoration.  What I really like is that you can even choose your preferred music genre: rock essentials (artists such as The Police, Eric Clapton, YES, Santanna), crooners (Nat King Cole, Sinatra and Dean Martin), jazz, country or 70s/80s pop.

Whether you need a gift for a music fan, for an eco-geek (that would be all of us at GreenDimes), or for the person who has everything, these recycled gifts are a great idea. You can purchase these recycled "art pieces" at the Modern Artisans web site.
