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.

Awesome Reusable Collapsible Metal Drinking Straw

Time.com wrote that scientists estimate the number of plastic straws polluting U.S. shorelines to be 7.5 million.

Plus, these little guys make excellent stocking stuffers and are perfect for your guy that can't live without his morning iced coffee.

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

Bacon Burbon Man Candle

We love a little man-candle every now and then, especially when manly scents of bacon and bourbon are involved. Silver Dollar Candle Co. crafts these gorgeous eco-friendly soy wax candles in a variety of delectable scents like cinnamon pumpkin cheesecake, Brazilian coffee and sandalwood, to name a few of our favs.

Polarized Aviators

"Top Gun" with top grain, these wood-accented aviator sunglasses look as stylish as they are effective at blocking those pesky UV rays. Plus, they won't break the bank, which is good if your guy tends to lose things not attached to his person. Still, tell him it's not a good idea to put a pair of shades in his back pocket.

Buy on Amazon for $36.99

Cold Brew Coffee Maker Kit

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. Pair this with a reusable straw and bottle and you've got an eco-friendly combo that would make even Captain Planet's jaw drop.

Does your guy love to sit back, relax and enjoy a smooth bourbon to the beat of the Imperial March? Have we got the gift for you...

Get Your Mornings...Moving?

OK, so we couldn't resist at least one gag-ish gift idea on this list. You never know when these reminders might come in handy, especially after a night of heavy Bourbon drinking.

Trump Just Shared A Truly Unhinged Tribute To Tim Cook After He Announced He's Stepping Down As Apple CEO—And, Hoo Boy

President Donald Trump shared an unhinged tribute to Apple CEO Tim Cook—whom he again referred to as "Tim Apple"—following Cook's announcement that Apple will have a new leader starting in September, openly reminiscing about all the times Cook would call him to "kiss my ass."

Cook took over from Steve Jobs and reshaped Apple by leaning on his operations expertise. He streamlined and expanded global supply chains, introduced Apple-designed chips, and pushed the company beyond hardware into services, launching subscription offerings like Apple News, Apple TV+, and Apple Pay, which have since become major revenue drivers.
