M&M's Coin Purse - Ecoist

Would you love to be able to tell your friends that you have 60 M&M wrappers in your purse without having to eat tons of M&M’s?  You can!  That’s a devastating thought though.. not actually eating the M&M’s.

This eco-friendly M&M coin purse available at Ecoist is just the right size for carrying keys, credit cards, cash, and coins.  Each one of these coin purses uses 60 recycled candy wrappers.

If 60 wrappers isn’t good enough for you, get for many more with Ecoist’s M&M’s clutch which is 10 inches wide!  Imagine how many packages of M&M’s you could fit in that clutch!

Ecoist and MARS have partnered to repurpose misprinted labels bound for landfill and create recycled purses and environmentally friendly bags that feature your favorite candies. Candy wrapper handbags and accessories like these add color and fun to your wardrobe. These limited edition handbags will satisfy even the biggest sweet tooth.

M&M’s Charm Bracelet at Macys.com

“They melt in your mouth, not on your hands.”

That’s the saying that made M&M’s famous all those years ago.  But now, with an adorable bracelet that features each M&M color/character as a charm, you can add another line to that famous phrase: “…and they look yummy on your wrist.”

The goldtone mixed metal M&M’S charm bracelet is available at Macys.com.   You buy the bracelet for $18 and can add charms for $22 each.  I personally prefer the lady in green but all the other options are there.  If it’s not your style odds are there’s an M&M lover in your life who would drool over this bracelet the same way they drool over the last little M&M in the bag.  Let’s just call this flavorful fashion.
