A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
Oh my goodness, it's so much better than petroleum jelly (and it won't degrade latex/rubber). Put it anywhere, you can even eat it, it's safe for nursing babies.
Other than nipples, it has thousands of uses. I use it under my nose where my CPAP machine rubs me raw. Oh, and it's a great moustache wax too!
Just try it. I costs a bit more than PJ, but it's like owning the best quality product of it's type. Nobody can buy anything better.
I'm not sure a product which you can and will run out of really fits this community.
Sure... But consumable items typically wouldn't be described as "durrable". Like a well made cheeseburger isn't an investment in your ability to continue having a good cheeseburger on an ongoing basis. There is no durable lotion. It's nice if a little goes a long way, but it's still consumable. If you want a candle that lasts longer, the solution is just to buy more candle.
Like shoes being well made means you can buy nice shoes once and have shoes for longer, even if they do eventually wear out due to being an item that sees a ton of wear and tear.
That being said, I really don't mind the occasional post that isn't really a fit. This got a lot of people talking and engaged with this community as a social space and that's kinda the point of social media. But I don't think this post is quite the right fit for the comm (and that's okay :)
