Something Beautiful, Something Durable: Gifts That Last

 

Too many gifts provide fleeting pleasure and end up soon discarded, broken, in the landfill. What a shame.

This year, consider a well designed, low impact, long lasting gift. Coast Chimes uses recycled / upcycled materials, natural materials, and materials that are valued by the recycling industry. 

Best of all, each item has been carefully designed to last a long time. For example, the large wind chimes have only copper (even handmade copper hardware), and a small amount of weather resistant cedar. There are customers still enjoying their wind chimes after 20 years!

Shop Coast Chimes for long lasting, beautiful, meaningful gifts.

Copper Natural Beach Stone and Driftwood Wind Chimes

 

Driftwood and beach stones just go very nicely with Coast Chimes copper wind chimes. And they fit so nicely into any landscape: a gorgeous focal point!

It is a bonus that part of my job is to hike local beaches looking for exceptional driftwood and the perfect stones. This involves a lot of long walks, but they are so enjoyable, especially when I find good materials to work with!

Everyone Loves Copper — Beautiful Gift!

The thing about copper is that it is beautiful. Other metals are often treated with paint or a powder coating to make them look nice, but that is a temporary finish that will flake off, fade, crack. Over time, copper just looks better and better. That's one reason Coast Chimes' wind chimes are a great choice. They won't be headed for the landfill in a few years.

Coast Chimes' wind chimes are designed for beauty, for sound, and for durability. All the hardware is handmade from copper: the rings that attach the chimes to the cedar roundel, the hooklets, even the wire that holds the beach stone clapper.

When looking for the perfect gift, consider something that will last, that is unique, that is clearly built with attention to detail and great care.

Go to Coast Chimes to see the selection. As of today, there are 113 items, but that count will be going down fast, and production is pretty much finished for 2021. For the best selection, don't delay.
