Bathtub couch heads line of cheeky recycled furniture

For the very, very deserving eco-design-fanatic on your list, the British design collective Reestore creates furniture out of throwaway things like bathtubs, shopping carts, and old washers. These bulky items get saved from the landfill, modified creatively, and spiffed up with neato cushions in cool fabrics. (And check out those beautiful feet!)

The Reestore people say that they try to avoid "traditional eco materials", which kind of rubs me the wrong way - what's the matter with hemp, I ask? - but the results are cool-looking anyway.

The only catch is price: this bathtub couch, for example, costs 1,480 British pounds, which, what with the way the dollar is going these days, is kind of a lot. Why are all the coolest eco-things always so pricey? Alas!
