2013 Reuse Guide

So you’ve looked and looked and can’t find just the right upcycled gift?  Have no fear, Lou’s got you covered.  You can now order a gift card for Lou’s Upcycles merchandise!

Here’s how it works:  Email LousUpcycles at gmail.com and let me know the amount you would like to give.  I will send you an invoice which you can not only pay online but also receive an electronic receipt of your purchase.

Once payment has cleared,  I will create a one of a kind, upcycled gift card out of recycled materials and ship it off ASAP.  You will receive confirmation of shipping and a tracking number so you can make sure that they have received their card.  You can even have it sent directly to you so that you can be the one to share the card on that special day.

The excited owner of a new gift card may use it online or in person and there are no fees and no expiration date! They may use it for a product already created or dedicate it to constructing their very own custom made item.  This is perfect if you want to give them a laptop bag for instance but don’t know the dimensions of their technology.  We will work together to get them exactly what they like.

Take advantage of this before December 22nd, 2012 and you’ll receive a free zipper pouch for jumping on board the handmade gift giving train.

Thinking you want to give the gift of flowers that last? How about some fused plastic flowers; they are bright, colorful, and will say you care for a long time.

These handmade lovlies are great for anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine’s, or just to say “Hey, I like you!”

Created from studio scraps of fused plastic, each flower is hand made individually. Flowers are created one by one using a plethora of colors. The flower stem is a real branch harvested from the beautiful forests of western MA.

Flowers will be wrapped for gentle shipping and will be ready for giving and you can find them here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/111768240/individual-upcycled-fused-plastic

Also in bouquets of 6 or 12: https://www.etsy.com/listing/111767886/upcycled-12-flower-bouquet
