Not only is Green Grab Bag a creative and health conscious gift, but it is also an amazing deal that will keep giving for 3, 6 or 12-months.

Prices start at just $45 for 3-months, $90 for 6-months, or $145 (a 20% discount) for a full year of beauty. To make gifting even easier, you can customize how and when the recipient is notified of your generous gift by selecting from three e-mail options:

1. “Send it now” for instant gratification.

2. “Send it to yourself” to present it in person.

3. “Schedule email for specific date,” which is perfect if you don’t want to give it away too early!

Smart Glass Jewelry has made its name by repurposing glass bottles from Coca-Cola and Aveda, to name a few, into stunning necklaces, bracelets and earrings that can only be described as wearable works of art. Earlier this year, the company rolled out some new designs in an Eco meets Edge collection that is, in a word, stunning!

Combining the recycled bottle glass for which it is known, with antique brass chains, the Smart Glass Eco meets Edge collection is exactly as the name implies, an edgier collection than those of the past. Interesting, geometric shapes and varying lengths and layers all work together to create looks that are at once trendy, timeless and, since you choose your glass, unique!

One of our favorite pieces is the Brass 5 Piece Bracelet/Necklace (above/$86) which, as the name suggests, can be worn doubled up on the wrist or dangling from the neck. Very versatile! We also like the simplicity of the Brass Bar and Circle Long Necklace (not shown/$88) that can also double as a choker. With nothing in the collection priced above $100 (and most are below $50), it’s an economical way to make a smart statement! www.smartglassjewelry.com

Promise rings used to signify a commitment to wed. Now, they can symbolize so much more. In the case of the recycled gold and silver Promise Rings from Tumbleweed Bead Co., they promise a brighter tomorrow for women.

Tumbleweed’s Promise Rings are part of the company’s Promise Project, a philanthropic partnership with Women Thrive Worldwide and YWCA Wenatchee Valley. Tumbleweed will donate $1 for each Promise Ring sold through its website and retail store to these two organizations. Both are working diligently to make a difference in the lives of women by helping them find poverty relief, putting food on the table, helping women rejoin the work force, and so much more. Plus, they’re just really, really cute – we promise! $10-$15 at www.tumbleweedbeadco.com.

Note: Promise Rings are shown in photo with a Constellation Ring, which is not part of the Promise Project (although they look great together).
