Green Gift Guide

Office Hardware

Reclaimed metal and tools go to work as rugged desk accessories, handmade by artist Fred Conlon. A metal pen cup rests atop an artistic assembly of pliers into a tripod. The desk caddy—constructed of crescent wrenches, large nuts and bolts, and other reclaimed metals—does double-duty as a business card holder and tape dispenser. This is a great gift for handy colleagues—and This Old House editors.

About $25 for Pliers Pen Cup and about $55 for the Crescent Wrench Desk Caddy; Uncommon Goods
