The Gifts that Keep on Giving


For some, the term “re-gift” conjures up images like that pink bunny suit in A Christmas Story or a Chia Pet. For STEM editors, however, it reminds us of one of our favorite stores. ReGifts in Minneapolis only features products made from recycled, reclaimed, organic or natural materials. Here are our top five picks:

It might not be a Louis Vuitton or a Coach, but these conventionally shaped handbags (above) are made from the unconventional: reclaimed license plates. $74.95

Absolut is usually associated with a different kind of shaker, but here, mini versions of the popular liquor bottles take on salt and pepper. $16.00/set

Bad night out? Wash away the memories of conversation lulls and awkwardness with unique, all-natural “Blind Date Body Wash.” $13.50

Straight from the streets of NYC, this taxi-sign wall clock will pimp any bachelor pad. $19.95

A 5x7 inch frame is made from a recycled bike chain and is sure to leave its recipient popping wheelies of joy. $39.00

All available at re-gifts.com or at ReGifts, 1832 E. 42nd St., Minneapolis.
