When it comes to finding eco-friendly gifts, it’s usually the guys that are the biggest challenge. It’s not that men like things that are decidedly un-green. It’s just that the options have seemed somewhat limited for the people who usually ask for gadgets, sports stuff, tools, or gift cards for Christmas.
Sometimes it helps to remember that a bicycle chain repurposed into a bottle opener is not your only green gift option. We love to share how giving charity / cause gifts or experience gifts are thoughtful gestures that will never end up in a landfill. And keep in mind there are lots of ways to find vintage gifts you’ll be proud to give.
For those guys on your list who want something new to open, we’ve started looking early to find you some cool gift ideas from Abe’s Market.

Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish Print
I’m not sure what’s better… the print, or Fresh Words Market’s description: Remember the time you thought you knew everything? Of course you do. Fresh Words Market is a line of modern art for the spaces where adults and children meet. But FWM is more than just an art collection, it’s a movement. For every print sold, Fresh Words Market donates 20% of its proceeds to children-focused initiatives around the world. We believe that great art coupled with the passion to help those in need will indeed help to change the world
The Daddy Bag
Breaking news – most men don’t want to carry a floral diaper bag. The Daddy’s Bag includes plenty of space for all your baby items, a changing mat, a thermal pocket, laundry or soiled item bag, and a separate pocket for laptop and business necessities. This is a bag he can still use when the kids are big enough to take themselves to the bathroom.
Backpack / Laptop Bag by Instinctive
Instinctive bags are made from 100% recycled polyester, hardware, and webbing so they are better for the environment and help you complete the loop. When you decide you want a different style, simply return your bag to Instinctive for a new one at a discounted price, and your old bag will be responsibly recycled or redistributed to someone in need. Two large compartments, a padded laptop sleeve, reinforced and waterproof base, and adjustable comfortable shoulder straps.

Wheat Dreamz Buckwheat Hull Pillow
Give the gift of a good night’s rest. Chiropractors recommend a pillow that conforms to your head and neck shape. These organic buckwheat hulls are grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides and covered in a durable, soft organic cotton or unbleached cotton shell with a zippered opening. This allows you to add or remove hulls to create the perfect pillow. It also provides for emptying of the pillow for laundering of the shell. Comes with a natural cotton pillowcase.
The Choice is His
When it doubt, give a gift card. Abe’s Market is the organic version of the town general store. It feels like one big family where everyone cares about the products they offer and also about the companies that provide them.
