Spotlight: Adoptabot On Etsy

We would consider ourselves to be robot nerds in our house, so when we came across these found item robots from Brian Marshall, there was actual audible squealing going on! Brian started the Adopt-A-Bot program and has an aptly named Etsy store where you can give one of his handmade robots a new home! Check out all the ways discarded items can be used...

 
 

There are currently 73 different robots in the Adoptabot Etsy store and there's everything from ones that hold pens and pencils, to tough guys, little guys, robo-dogs and more!

We wish we could tell you we had a favorite, but each new item we clicked on, went to the top of the list. Looking over each one to see what items were used and repurposed is like digging through your Grandparents basement, without all the dust!

The robots start around the $75 price point and go up from there, but if that's a bit too steep, enjoy them as eye candy, because they certainly are creative and without a doubt adorable!

I'm *not* a robot nerd, but those are really cute--and look like they might be a fun gift for my robot loving husband....

these are way awesome...but a pretty penny unless these are some sturdy little robots.
