Ide Bisnis Unik (Unique Business Ideas)

If the "best things in life are free," the next best may be ideas that are born from people's passions. For Daedra Surowiec, a Michigan mom of two young boys, it means creating a new business, Strawesome, that allows her to care for her children at home, use her artistic gifts, help the environment, and supplement the family's income.

Surowiec launched Strawesome in March 2009 to sell reusable drinking straws that are both durable and stylish with creative, fun designs. Hand crafted by Surowiec from clear or colored borosilicate glass, each drinking straw is guaranteed against breakage. According to Surowiec, reasons for using glass straws, over plastic, include the reduced impact on landfills, and glass will not leach toxins into drinks.

Wide varieties of straws are available on the Web site and can be purchased individually or in sets. Selections include clear or colored glass, plain or custom decorated, and straight or bent in lengths from six to 10 inches. Among the most popular straws are those designed for drinking smoothies. Custom orders can be made for longer straws, corporate gifts, weddings and special events.
