If you’re searching for a unique gift for this holiday season, then consider buying reclaimed art. This type of art is described as pieces that are compiled together using objects that have previously been discarded. Most anything that can be recycled can be used to make reclaimed art and there are many beautiful products available to choose from. Some of these include sculptures, paintings and drawings but most anything that is considered a form of art, can be created using recycled items.
To help give you an idea of some of the exciting options available below are a few reclaimed art gift ideas that you can consider for this holiday season:
- Whimsical clocks
- Night lights
- Wall paintings
- Unique mirrors
- Hand painted slates
- Metal art
These one-of-a-kind eco-friendly items stand out and make a statement like nothing else can and the items listed above are only a few of your options. Imagine just how excited the people on your Christmas list will be when they receive something this unique and special this holiday season.
Reclaimed art is not something new even though there are still many people who don’t know much about it. In fact, this type of art is actually something that has been around for many years but it’s more popular today than ever before. This is mainly due to the fact that more people are becoming aware of just how important it is to recycle and protect the earth’s natural resources.
By giving reclaimed art as Christmas gifts, you’re showing how much you care about the environment. Plus, you’re giving beautiful exciting gifts that anyone would love to receive. Who knows, you may even start up a new trend and it’s always a good thing when you can encourage others to recycle.

Recycled Glass Night Light
And don’t think that recycled art is junk. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure as they say and this rings very true with recycled art. Anyone can make recycled art but some of the most talented recycled artists create some amazing things you just wouldn’t believe out of what many would consider to be trash. We’ve seen recycled art clothing, knick-knacks, furniture, jewelry and much more. If your mind can think it up, you can bet that someone has done it.
Recycled art is becoming such a big thing that there are even seasonal and annual shows to help promote the art and the artists who create it. Often at these shows you can snag some great deals on recycled art for the holidays and at affordable prices.
If you don’t think you will have access to a place to buy recycled art for the holidays, you have another option of making some yourself. Look around your home for things that would normally be considered junk. Do you have clothing that doesn’t fit or that’s stained in some place but the rest of the fabric is good? Do you have a broken picture or frame or knick knack? Most anything can be salvaged and you will be amazed to see what types of creations can be made.
We just added a wonderful recycled art category to our site! so when you’re planning your gift-giving this year, consider this unique form of art!
