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

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.

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...

Stainless water bottles are a sure-fire win for your gym-going guy, or anyone that wants to cut back on using plastic; we fully support! We love Tree Tribe for their pledge to plant 10 trees for every sale of one of their slick, eco-friendly, leak-proof bottles.

Jesse Watters' Fox News Cohosts Call Out His 'Creepy' Rant About 'High-Value Man' Stephen Miller

Fox News personality Jesse Watters weirded out his own co-hosts after he claimed that New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez secretly wants to sleep with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller after she "short-shamed" him.

In an Instagram livestream earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez said “one of the best ways that you can dismantle a movement of insecure men is by making fun of them." She called Miller "a clown" and suggested he—the architect of President Donald Trump's immigration policies—takes out his anger on others because he's "like, 4 feet 10 inches."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
