1 by Karen MacKay on December 24, 2010

Make delicious and clean water with an elegant glass pitcher and charcoal water filter.

Editor's Note: We're getting into the holiday spirit here at Crisp Green, which means helping you find the crispest, greenest, most innovative gifts for all the tech and design geeks on your list! Check back often, because we'll be featuring a new gift idea almost every day between now and December 25th. Happy Holidays

Worried about the quality of water coming out of your tap, but don't want to waste fridge space with an unattractive plastic pitcher? Design Within Reach has an elegant and space saving solution. The Charcoal Water Pitchers uses louseki stones and Binchotan charcoal to create filtered, mineral-rich water.

Coolest Things About the Charcoal Water Filter: Rather than using traditional filters that need monthly replacement and end up in landfills, the louseki stones and Binchotan charcoal last up to six months. Also, this beautiful glass pitcher can go straight from fridge to table for entertaining dinner guests.

Perfect Gift Idea For: Designers, urban dwellers with limited fridge space, anyone who prefers filtered water and those who like to entertain.

How You Can Get One: These elegant water pitchers and filters are available at the DWR online store.
