Green Gifts for Men

Solar Powered

More and more people are trying to go green and lessen their impact on the planet. Giving gifts that are considered green or eco-friendly, is a great way to introduce the men you care about to alternative earth-friendly products. Here are just a few ideas for some green gifts for that special guy!

Solar Charged Accent Lights
Many men enjoy landscaping and designing their yards, making them the perfect place for barbecues, parties, gathering or just relaxing! Gift this guy a set of solar charged accent lights. These lights are easy to use and utilize the energy of the sun to power the lights from dawn to dusk! You can’t go wrong with these easy-to-install-no-cords-involved lights! A set of six solar charged accent lights are available for $57.99 from BuyGreen.

Organic Cotton Velour Bathrobe
An organic cotton velour robe is a great way to spoil that special man! Organic cotton is great for the planet because its produced without the use of pesticides and chemicals. You can find an amazing, thick, heavy (three pounds!) cotton velour bath robe for that special man for $119 from GreenHome.

Recycled Rags
Does the guy you’re shopping for love working on cars? Or perhaps he’s always in the kitchen, cooking up something delicious? Try some recycled rags! You can make these out of old shirts (maybe find some that have his favorite band or television show on them) or you can find a five pound box of recycled white rags for $10.75 at Rag Co.

Netflix Subscription
It might sound strange, but netflix is a green idea! So many people enjoy movies and DVD’s, but only watch them once or twice before throwing them on a shelf, or in a closet (or even worse, within reach of children who may destroy the discs!) Netflix allows users to check out movies as they need them and even stream thousands of titles from the internet to watch instantly!
