A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
My daughter’s counselor suggested we try a weighted blanket, and boy is it hard to find something that you know is gonna be quality. It wasn’t cheap but I went with one from Baloo Living, particularly because they use glass beads instead of plastic, and they had a small “throw” size that was just what she needed. It’s only been a couple of months, but so far so good. She loves it. I have even washed and dried it successfully at home in our washer/dryer which honestly I was worried about. So, if it’s not outside your budget, I would recommend them.
