Childrens’ goods sharing website Zwaggle isn’t just an eBay clone with a focus on cribs, toys, and other kid-specific gear. No money trades hands between “buyers” and “sellers,” but points are distributed for giving away unnecessary stuff (as well as signing up other members) that can be used later to get items that are needed, for only the cost of shipping. The site has a green-friendly focus, and it makes sense—new parents always tend to over-buy or get far more gifts than their child can possibly use. Zwaggle might be a money-saving way for parents to save a few items from hitting the landfill or, just as importantly, cluttering up storage space they’ll definitely need later.
Zwaggle [via CNET News]So you woke up this morning to a refrigerator seemingly invaded overnight by the forces of tinfoil, plastic wrap and Tupperware. Now is your chance to reduce waste and get creative with LeftOverChef.com, a recipe-generating website that can make short work of your post-holiday provisions. I entered a few ingredients my in-laws were sure to still have today—turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mashed potatoes—and got back ideas for turkey potato pancakes, turkey burgers with mushroom gravy and “Toasted Christmas Lunch Sandwiches” that sound great for Saturday. The recipes come from a variety of sources and incorporate typical non-holiday leftovers as well.
