Sometimes new things ARE worth collecting


Arrowearth.com - Recycle, reduce, reuse, reinvest, repeat.

Anyone that’s read what I’ve had to say in the auctions and ecommerce world, knows that I’m not often excited by new items in the marketplace. That’s not because there is something intrinsically wrong with a “new” thing vs. and old thing, but rather because, in so many cases newly manufactured items are inferior, unnecessary and overpriced.

But what about those that aren’t?

One place I’m sure that sells quality, useful and affordable items is Arrowearth.com.

For starters, I can’t think of any better policy for a place that sells a lot of great kids toys and games, than a policy that’s safe, eco-friendly economically responsible.

Since Arrowearth.com puts those philosophies and policies at the front of the list, everything else like durability, value and price is automatic. Your NOT going to find the cheapest priced products in the world here, instead, you’ll find the best quality, very fairly priced.

Most of what is offered will likely last a lifetime and will be worth more than you paid for it in 5 years, but the important thing is that it will still BE here in 5 years!

There’s a payoff here whether your looking specifically for one of their shoulder bags, or your stopping by to browse. And by the way, the shoulder bags are made by recycling waste embroidery patches from the textile industry,

Each eco friendly bag is made in vibrant, interesting colors, and of course due to the manufacturing process each is unique. But you might find that the best thing still, is the long wide comfortable strap that won’t twist or cut in.

The birth of a great collectible happens when a great sense of style marries practicality. And with the durability of these bags, although new, it’s plain to see they’ll make it to the vintage stage with ease. 100% of NOTHING is disposable about these…OK, the waste, we did get rid of that.

 

Here’s another thing, you may not even think of. Kitchen utensils, bowls and the like wouldn’t usually be anything that could raise your eyebrows on a website these days.

Yeah, well just look at the way these Kinetic Go Green Glasslock food storage containers look. They’re safe to go from the freezer to the micro-wave, and are just the thing to store those perishables & leftovers.

These days, so many of us are trying to eat better. Well those that do, know that most healthy and organic foods perish quicker than the processed stuff, a wise investment now, will save you lots in the long run and do much towards your goal of eating better. Good health for you belly and good heath for your budget in the same buy. Your not going to beat that deal often.

 


OK, I don’t know if by putting the toys and games at the end, I’m saying I’ve saved the best for last, so let’s just say I’ve saved the most fun for last.

I don’t know if you’ve seen the new line of Imagiplay toys, but look at this all natural 13pc ABC Tree Puzzle with rounded edges for ages 3+. It’s handcrafted from managed forest Brasswood so it’s safe and renewable. Your actually investing in the childs’ future twice with these wonderful toys!

These not only help children learn their ABCs, but also introduce them to the beauty and integrity of an all natural wood product. Amuse them now, with a toy that instills great practices for their future.

To some people, even all of the attributes above are not enough to make an online purchase if the site they’re browsing doesn’t have a clear and easy refund policy, here is theirs’ if you’d like to see it.

If you have a use or for any of the products offered at Arrowearth.com why not give them a try? Shouldn’t we be supporting businesses that are investing in our future. Isn’t it a good idea to buy something from someone who backs policies like fair trade, recycle, reduce, reuse and poverty reduction.

These are all things that will make excellent future collectibles and antiques, that kind of economic benefit pays off over, and over.
