Good, sturdy messenger bags are hard to find – they tend to pull apart at the seams, especially when you carry as much stuff as I do. This messenger bag from Alchemy (available at ThinkGeek) is tough as nails, and has the added bonus of being made from recycled materials, like bike tires and seat belts. It’s a great bag while riding to class or work, and it looks pretty snazzy, too.

Okay, we love Green Toys. We admit it. But can you blame us? They’re made from recycled milk jugs, have no PVC, BPA or phthalates, and they are totally fun to play with. We’ve talked about their blocks, dump truck, recycling truck and tea set before…
And now they have race cars! Choose from red, blue or pink, and race race race, or get the car transporter (that comes with a race car) and transport transport transport!

I like it, it’d be perfect for your workmates or school friends.

These faux-Starbucks cups have been around for awhile, but I’ve never thought much of them. I just read over the description of the one they have at Perpetual Kid, and it sounds kind of awesome. First, the lid is silicone, so it stays on nice and tight. Secondly, the cup itself is made from two layers of ceramic, so you have a nice insulator effect going on and your drink stays nice and hot. Thirdly, the cup is tough enough to be dishwasher safe! I love it, and I can’t wait to get mine!
