As if we needed yet another way to proclaim to the world (or at least our family and friends) that we are in fact, geeks to the core.

Just in time for the holidays, Nigel's Eco Store presents Christmas tree ornaments made from recycled CDs and circuit boards. They come in various designs - bells, stars, or Christmas trees. They're kind of pricey ($6-$9), but I think it's worth it. I mean if you're into computers or technology, this is the perfect way to express that love during the holidays (besides of course, giving the gift of technology, but that can get kinda expensive.) Plus, they are made from recycled materials, which supposedly makes them "eco-friendly."

They also make a great gift for that enthusiast in your life that is so hard to shop for. 'Tis the season to be geeky!

My post on Recycled Circuit Boards & CDs Turned Ornaments caused such a stir in the comments, I couldn't resist posting about these Cardboard Speakers, and reading your feedback.

The environmentally-friendly factor makes up for the uglyness of these speakers, since they are made out of 100% recycled materials. These battery-free speakers fold flat for easy storage and portability. I feel I can safely assume that the sound quality isn't going to be the best out there, but surely they get the job done. It'd be interested to see just how well they work, or how long they last.

They won't break the bank either, at only $15 a set.
