kinda genius: tin can lids
A friend thought I might be interested in these Tin Can Lids by Jack Bresnahan, and was he ever right. We recycle to within an inch of our lives, but how cool it is to get inspired to reuse. The toppers give the cans a nice modern industrial feel. See more at Dezeen. — Mary T.

What a neat idea. But no info that I could see on how to purchase them… did I miss it?
If not, file it in the “neat idea not available” folder. : (

Shoot, DJ, I think it’s still a prototype — but the alien abduction lamps finally got made, so I think there’s hope.

What?? They finally are in production? I’ve saved a photo of those alien abduction lamps on my desktop for eons… where??? Where???
PERFECT gift for my brother.

Those are SO totally genius! I love reusing any and every container.

DJ, you can buy the alien abduction lamps here: http://abductionlamp.com/order#photos
I had the link in a blogwatch in the last couple of weeks — obviously it’s worth a post! Thanks!

I LOVE this! I have to battle my desire to save cans to use around the house. This makes me have a reason to save them

Now if they make a tin can that doesn’t leave rust rings every where to go with those nifty lids, then we’d really have something!
