Hundreds of millions of gift cards are given each year, and most end up in the trash after the money's been emptied. Not sure what to do with your left over gift cards? If you racked up plastic gift cards, like those from Starbucks, why not save the environment and apply a little creativity to create your own unique coasters?
If you're not so crafty, or didn't get enough cards to make anything, you can still show some gratitude for our Earth (and for Starbucks) when you buy a pack of Flawed Frock Upcycled Starbucks Card Mosaic Coasters at Etsy for $12.
