Eco-Friendly Gifts for Him

When it comes to choosing eco-friendly gifts for the men in your life, we are constantly paying attention for gifts that go beyond the conventional dad stereotypes.

We hope to provide a good balance of gifts that are extremely and a few splurges. The best advice when it comes to gift giving is to find something you know they’ll USE.

Here’s our selection of green gifts for him that fall into one or more of the following categories: long lasting or high quality (so they won’t break or end up in a landfill anytime soon) eco-friendly, non-toxic, or ethically made.

If you can’t find something to wrap up to suit him, scroll down for a list of great experience gift ideas for men.

Leaf Shave Razor

green gifts for men

This razor is designed to last a lifetime. It works as well – maybe better – than your typical triple blade razor, and the pivoting head design makes for an extremely smooth shave.

You can feel the quality in the weight of the razor. The blades are easy to change and they are recyclable (carefully though). Ethically made, the razor is also recyclable. We’ve used one for about three years and counting, and it’s showing no sign of needing replacement anytime soon.

Sustainably Sourced Cashmere Pullover Hoodie

Help him perfect the casual layered look.

This cozy hoodie is made from Mongolian cashmere. Quince’s quality cashmere is three times as warm as wool. It’s also sourced sustainably and ethically.

Bamboo Foldable Arm Tray

No side table? No problem!

A foldable tray with storage can hold drinks, snacks, remotes, his phone, and more.

Plus it’s easy to fold away when not in use.

Find it at Etsy or Amazon.

Digital Thermometer

If he’s a fan of grilling, a meat thermometer makes a great gift or stocking stuffer.

We’ve had one of these for several years. It’s well made and we love that it’s waterproof for easy cleaning.

Stainless Steel Nontoxic Air Fryer

Many air fryers contain black plastic. Black plastic often comes from recycled electronic, which can contain toxic substances like the flame retardant bromine; antimony; and heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury.

Choosing a stainless steel option is much safer. This air fryer has a larger capacity and has a large door for easy use.

Mars Dust Globe

Mini Box Cutters

A super handy gift for anyone on your list. They also make a great stocking stuffer.

From reducing inflammation and recovering quickly from a workout to great skin and preventing hair loss, the benefits of red light therapy for men are pretty compelling.

This portable device is easy to use and rechargeable. It’s also a more affordable entry point into red light therapy. And JOOVV is by far the best.

Snare Wire Bracelet

gifts that give back

Gift this bracelet from Zambian artisans who cleverly repurposed snare wire traps to prevent them from being used to trap and kill the region’s wildlife. Each bracelet comes in a unique pouch of traditional material.

The bracelets are made from leather and snare wire with an interior diameter of approximately 7”-8”.

EXPERIENCE GIFTS FOR MEN

Experience gifts are especially popular and many of them make great eco-friendly gifts for him. Think about what he enjoys most and see how you can surprise him with that or one of the following ideas.

Sports – Get him tickets to watch his favorite team or help him get further toward his goal of visiting all the major league ball parks. What about golf lessons or a trip to a PGA event?

Outdoor activities – Whitewater rafting, fly fishing, skiing, rock climbing… whether extreme sports or extremely relaxing, there’s probably an activity he will love.

Hire a helper – Moms aren’t the only ones with full schedules. No matter what he needs help with, there’s a personal assistant, errand runner, organizing specialist, etc. available to help.

Music – Will his favorite band be near you soon? Consider getting tickets and a night out or a weekend away if the concert is out of town. Has he always wanted to learn to play an instrument? Get him a gift certificate for lessons.

Daredevil for a day – Skydiving, a race car experience, or pilot for a day are some exciting options for your thrill seeking man. (You might consider a few carbon credits to offset this gift.)
