Your watch says a lot about you.  Rolex – rich douchebag; Timex – kind of a loser; Casio – it works and fashion sucks; Tag Heuer – look at me, I’m a rock climber; a wooden watch – now we’ve got a conversation starter.   WeWOOD makes these hypo-allergenic watches with no toxic chemicals, entirely out of wood (with the exception of the timepiece’s Miyota movement).

For every watch they sell they partner with American Forests to plant a tree.  The watches come in a bunch of styles and woods from maple to red wing celtis.  Some of the wood used is reclaimed manufacturing debris.  One of these unique wooden watches will cost you $119.  Just don’t jump in the pool wearing one of these…they’re not waterproof.

Replace ripped jeans with quality jeans at 30-45% off while helping the community – best deal on the block…From now until October 20th, recycle your old denim and get 30% off Gap’s new 1969 denim line.  Open a new Gap credit card account and receive an additional 5% off, and then another 10% off by becoming a fan on Gap’s Facebook page (just mention JEANS 40 at the register)!

Working with Cotton Incorporated, Gap is collecting old denim to create UltraTouch Denim Insulation by Bonding Logic Inc. to build insulation for actual houses.  It’s a win, win win – Keep those old blues out of the landfill, upcycle them into building insulation and get a new pair of jeans (for cheap!) while you’re at it.
