Did you know that tomorrow is the 36th annual Earth Day? A day to focus our attention on environmental issues. Today’s post is therefore all about the environmentally aware Acorn Studios.

Acorn Studios transforms found and disregarded objects into fashionable and eco-friendly gifts that both ‘celebrate and save the environment’. Components include electronic waste such as old floppy disks (Do you remember those giant 80s floppies?), circuit boards, corks and CDs.

Nicola Harper is the creative force behind the company. After working in Waste Management for 5 years and visiting countless landfill sites, the idea for Acorn Studios was born. Nicola began making quirky gifts and at the same time giving new life to items which would otherwise have been thrown away.

For further details visit www.acornstudios.ca, where you can take advantage of a fantastic special offer. If you spend £25 or more you will automatically receive a set of keyboard magnets (above) for free.
