Simplifying Your Gift-Giving

Simplifying Your Gift-Giving

Posted by Rachel Crippin Clark on 1st Dec 2024

Have you seen the meme about how hard it is to keep up with holiday shopping? The one about ordering so many things from so many different places that you might just need to roll with it if a llama gets delivered to your door?

We here at TRINITY can relate. We may be experts at clearing the clutter and simplifying our homes. But we admit we haven’t quite found a solution for simplifying our holiday shopping list …. until this year.

It turns out our new RENEW by TRINITY line offers distinctive gifts that are both attractive and useful. They’re hand-crafted and eco-friendly. And they’ve got a truly unique back story that will have every talking at your next holiday gathering.

What’s RENEW?

We’ll start at the very beginning. You may know that TRINITY believes strongly in environmental stewardship, and we’re always looking for ways to make positive impacts. When we learned that 1.5 billion single-use bamboo chopsticks are discarded around the globe every week (!), we knew there had to be something there.

The result is our sister company, RENEW by TRINITY, which exclusively focuses on products made from 100% upcycled chopsticks. Yes, those exact things you used to pick up a noodle last month could be exactly what we use to make our eye-catching furniture and items for food prep, entertaining and home décor.

At our Chop Shop facility in North Texas, we go through a detailed process to sort, sanitize, press and sand chopsticks discarded at restaurants in the U.S. and Canada. This same facility is where each product is hand-crafted to modern, eco-chic items for our homes. (Want to see the process in action? Check out this video.

The Perfect Gift

Which brings us back to holiday gift-giving. Do you have a foodie to buy for? Someone passionate about environmental responsibility? Maybe a young adult starting out on their own, or someone who seems to have everything already.

It seems that RENEW cutting, prep and serving boards make perfect gifts for so many different people. The same goes for the coaster sets which are available plain, or with a selection of different engravings. (Hmmm….hostess gifts!)

A variety of sizes and patterns are available, so you can mix and match for different people. (But not have to scour countless different websites or drive all over the entire county searching for unique gifts.)

A Story, but also Style

People love the story of how RENEW products are produced and how upcycling reduces energy usage, air pollution and water waste – not to mention avoiding greenhouse gas emissions. You can also see the exact number of chopsticks saved from landfill and how much carbon dioxide is avoided because we engrave this on the back of each item.

But when you give a RENEW gift, you’ve not only got a sustainable back story to tell, but a useful gift that will stand up on its own design. The cutting boards are meticulously crafted with bold, unique patterns and intended to be shown off. The coaster set has a number of engravings with different themes. The coffee table commands attention in the center of a room.

Don’t just take our word for it. We invite you to see for yourself, here! (And no, we won’t tell if you pick out a piece of furniture or other item for yourself in the process.)

Wishing you and your loved ones the best this holiday season.
