10 Sustainable & Eco-Friendly 2018 Holiday Gift Ideas For Men

10 Sustainable & Eco-Friendly 2018 Holiday Gift Ideas For Men
Sam Edwards

Ge your green guy something that he'll love.

Let's face it: shopping for guys is hard, no matter how well you know them. Search "gifts for men" on Amazon and you get a bunch of things that might be appropriate as a gag gift, but not really something you'd give to your buddy at work, let alone a significant other. But guys like that kind of stuff, right? Probably best not to generalize, so I'll speak for myself and say: meh, not really. What I do appreciate is something useful that will make a regular activity of my day a little less difficult which—according to the internet—would be not having to open beer bottles with my teeth or a tool that helps me shred pork more easily...yeah, no.

If you're like us and feeling overwhelmed by search results returning nothing but drinking and meat-shredding paraphernalia, this list of subtly masculine, mostly eco-friendly holiday gifts should hopefully provide some fresh, appropriately humorous takes on the classics and a little inspiration to think outside the tool box.

The Anti-RFID Theft Vegan Leather Wallet My Dad Always Needed

Like ties and socks, wallets were a staple in my family gift giving. Growing up, I must have bought--or had my mom buy--at least 10 wallets as Christmas gifts for my dad; super creative. At least, it would have been had RFID blocking vegan "leather" billfolds been available in the 90s! Well, now they are, and they look pretty good to boot. We love this Gallery Seven option that gives dad the reassurance that his credit cards aren't being phantom swiped and that the microfiber "leather" is durable and easily cleaned. #DadGiftDone

Speaking of iced coffee, level-up your man's eco-game with a cold brew coffee kit. Not only is it greener to make this stuff at home, the savings alone are something to write home about.
