Best Eco-Friendly Gifts For Him

Ok—so we don’t sell reclaimed timber baseball bats or bamboo bicycles just yet, but we do have a selection of eco-friendly gift ideas — like stylish sustainable men’s clothing — to keep the men in your life cozy and comfortable all year round.

A Soft and Sustainable Pullover

Made from hemp and organic cotton, our luxuriously soft men’s pullovers are perfect for keeping your man snuggly and warm all winter long. Made in ethical conditions within the United States or in fair-trade regulated factories overseas, these classic men’s garments are a wardrobe staple that he can layer with a tee or polo for a versatile look. 

A Pair of Bamboo Boxers

It’s not something he’d usually buy for himself, so take advantage of the holiday celebrations to treat your man to some silky-soft bamboo or organic cotton underwear. Whether he’s into briefs, boxers, long johns, or thermals, you can find it all in our eco-friendly collection.

An Organic Cotton Button-Down 

The best eco-friendly gift ideas are those that can be used straight away. A classic button-down in timeless colors will have the man in your life rocking the holiday parties in style. An organic shirt—while great for the planet—is also good for your man and your home as well. With zero toxic finishing products or harsh dyes, our shirts are not likely to irritate his skin while he enjoys doing what he loves most.

Best Eco-Friendly Gifts For Her

Buying for women can sometimes be easier than men—when it comes to organic women’s clothing, the choices are nearly endless! Here are our top eco-friendly gift ideas for the ladies.

Cotton Knit Knee-Highs

For most of us, the holiday season comes with a blast of cold that’s enough to make you want to tuck up by the fireplace all winter long. Keep your loved one’s legs toasty and warm with a colorful pair of knee-high socks. Some of these knee-highs are mismatched on purpose to chase away the winter blues. Buy two pairs—or three!—and bring a smile to her face as she steps into the fun of ethical fashion.

A Free Range Alpaca Coat

Set at a higher price tag than many eco-friendly gift ideas, a bamboo, hemp, or alpaca eco-friendly winter coat is one of those luxury gift items that is worth saving for. Give this coat or jacket as a mouth-dropping standalone present, or pair it with a scarf, hat, and a pair of gloves for a complete set of the best eco-friendly winter gifts.

Recycled and Sustainble Jewelry

Our natural jewelry is another great gift for the special woman in your life. Chic and affordable, choose from our selection of recycled metals and nature-inspired designs featuring seeds, clay, nuts, and grasses. These eco-friendly gift ideas are beautifully rustic and avoid the problems of conflict stones and strip mines that plague the conventional jewelry industry.

Best Eco-Friendly Gifts For the Kids

Little ones can join in on the eco-friendly fun, too! After all, it’s never too early to teach your little one about the importance of looking after the planet. Watch your children’s eyes light up with these easy eco-friendly gift ideas:
