Cotton Dandy

When you see the word "free" on a product, it usually means "virtuous, but not much fun." Take "fat free," "caffeine free," and "sugar free," to name a few.

Thankfully, there's one notable exception. A smart company called Moonrock Paper just introduced a collection of "tree free" goodies – gift wrap, stationery, storage boxes – that aren't lacking anything when it comes to looks and intrigue. How did they do it? By making their paper from cast-off cotton scraps and employing traditional artisans in India to do the crafting and embellishing.

Best of all, these eco-friendly products show that you can save the planet without spending money like there's no tomorrow. They can be found at your favorite discount stores. Yes, that includes Tar-jay.
