A bowl is just a bowl ... unless it's not. Confused? Don't be. Here's what we're saying - you can buy ceramic bowls (boring) to hold cereal and soup, but when it comes to keeping your keys or trinkets together, go with something that's more interesting!
We like this handmade bowl made from a bike chain. It's funky, looks cool in your home, and it's a good conversation starter. You know ... you can tell people it fell off your bike so you decided to get creative and - voila! - bowl. Or you can just tell them you bought it online. Either way, you'll still earn some cool points!
Where to Buy - UncommonGoods.com
Price - $63.50
Who Found It - SusanY was the first to add the 'Bike Chain Bowl' to the Hive.

Fresh graphic designs and rich, saturated colors were all over the spring runways, and now you can bring them into your home with these bold, vibrant baskets and bowls. Macy's and Rwanda Path to Peace project have partnered up to sell hand-woven goods made by female genocide survivors from Rwanda. The colorful baskets are woven from 100% natural materials like banana leaves and papyrus and use all natural dye. Focused on trade, not aid, the income from the baskets provides food, shelter, medical care, and other necessities for the weavers. The Rwanda handmade baskets retail for $35-$120 and are available exclusively at www.macys.com/rwanda. Check out the slideshow to see how you can make a difference.
