One of the crafts that I have made often over the years is my own personalized magnets. These gifts are great because you can more or less tailor them to whoever you're giving the gift too.

So, we know how to do simple things in the kitchen in order to make it more green from this post , but what about energy saving in the kitchen generally? Here are some great tips and information on specific areas of the kitchen:
