Solar Works, a company that designs and installs solar electricity systems in the Northeast, gave a gift basket including this bottle opener made from old bike chains to 20 of its employees.

The opener costs $12.50 at Connecticut-based eco-retailer Our Green House.

Despite its line of work, a spokesperson for Solar Works said the company has not always given environmentally-themed gifts.
