Christmas Gifts

Here at Cangles we have a number of choices for great Christmas gifts. Not only our jewelry but we have record bowls and dustpans for the shed or garage.
We recycle old license plates and old records.

Reusable bags

Just bag it! Help protect the environment when you shop. Keep reusable bags on your car seat or near your door so they are easy to grab when you go. And you can even combine shopping bags - just tell the cashier that you don't need a bag, then put all your purchases together in one bag just be sure to hang on to your receipts!

Just want to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy your time with family and friends.

Save on Water

Make it a full load! Run your dishwasher only when it's full.

Be sensible! The Earth might seem like it has abundant water, but in fact only one percent of all water on the planet is available for humans.

Shower power! A full bathtub requires about 70 gallons of water, but taking a five-minute shower saves water by using 10 to 25 gallons.

Don't be a drip - fix that leak!

Tip of the Day

Reduce your carbon footprint! Leaving your car at home twice a week can cut greenhouse gas emissions by 1,600 pounds per year.

Turn old pants into rags

While some people may go the old, ordinary route of cutting up a pair of pants to make irregular-shaped cleaning towels, there are new means to get the house clean and to do it in style.

Creating recycled pants rags can be done in many ways, and some are more complex than others are. The simplest is to cut sections from a pair of pants, and then sew them together to form a double-layered rag.

For those wanting to spice up the cleaning process, follow these quick, simple steps to produce a pant rag that will be the envy of all your friends and neighbors:

• Cut the pants fabric into long, thin scraps -- about 1 inch wide by 6 inches long.
• Braid or crochet the scraps of fabric together to make a rag [source: ThriftyFun].

Making recycled pants rags is quick and easy, and you can even get the kids to join in on the fun. Since they'll be working with scissors, you'll want to supervise the children closely as they cut strips of fabric for you to braid or crochet, or cut large squares for ready-made rags. And who knows, they may be so excited about their new creations that they'll even chip in with the house cleaning.

Veteran's Day

A big THANK YOU to all our Veteran's and their families.

Thanksgiving can be eco-friendly - Part 2

Thanksgiving weekend is one of heaviest for highway travel in the United States. This year, why not reduce global warming and improve air quality by lowering your auto emissions at the same time that you lower your family’s stress level? Skip the stressful holiday travel and celebrate a green Thanksgiving at home.
If you must go over the river and through the woods, there are still ways to have a green Thanksgiving. If you drive, use less fuel and lower your emissions by making sure your car is in good working order and your tires are properly inflated. If possible, carpool to reduce the number of cars on the road and lower the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to air pollution and global warming.

Thanksgiving can be eco-friendly - Part 1

To make your Thanksgiving celebration as eco-friendly as possible, start with the three Rs of conservation: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

Reduce the amount of waste you produce by buying only as much as you need and choosing products that come in packaging that can be recycled.

Carry reusable bags when you do your shopping, and use cloth napkins that can be washed and used again.

Recycle paper, and all plastic, glass and aluminum containers. If you don’t already have a compost bin, use your Thanksgiving fruit and vegetable trimmings to start one. The compost will enrich the soil in your garden next spring.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day is coming soon. Let us all remember what our men and women in the armed services have sacrificed for all of us.

We have a few new styles in our military line. Here are a couple of them.


Don't forget that we donate a portion of the sale of our military line to the Wounded Warriors Project.
