3 Sustainable and Useful Gifts that He’ll Absolutely Love
Do you have a special man (Dad, brother, husband, boyfriend, bestie) you want to lavish with something nice, something that’s intentional and goes beyond the usual shirt, aftershave or bottle of wine?
There are lots of gifting options geared towards men. In this post I’ve curated 3 sustainable options that will hopefully bring uniqueness, style, fun and purpose to his collection.
1. Sustainable Trainers (Allbirds Trainers)
I was first introduced to Allbirds Trainers a few years ago by a cousin who after constantly being in formal patent leather shoes just wanted something in which his feet could breathe.
That’s what Allbirds are all about. They are made from recycled and natural materials like responsibly sourced Merino wool, tree fibre and sugarcane. Allbirds are BCorp certified, and are working hard on driving their emissions to zero.
Lightweight, super comfy, machine washable and planet friendly, Allbirds Trainers are definitely a gift a man of any age will appreciate.
2. A sustainably made classic brief-case/Document Bag (Will’s Vegan Store, London)
Started by Will Green, this British brand embodies the ethos that if we all try to make a positive choice we can create a positive change in the world. Everything created by them since 2016 is certified as carbon neutral, and their operations across the board are carbon neutral as well.
Handmade with Italian vegan plant based leather, and manufactured in Portugal this briefcase can hold a 15 inch laptop, and can be carried like a traditional briefcase using the top handle, hung over the shoulder or worn cross body using its adjustable straps.
Made in classic black and a gorgeous chestnut this can be an accessory that will definitely make him look sharper.
3. Sustainable Headphones- (Urbanista Los Angeles Headphones)
The world’s first self-charging wireless headphones, powered by green technology, the Urbanista LA Headphones could be the perfect gift for eco-friendly warriors, while also amazing those who aren’t on the sustainability bandwagon yet. These sustainable headphones use indoor and outdoor light to turn into energy that constantly fuels the headphones, promising a non-stop audio experience. These headphones get cooler as they come with an advanced hybrid noise cancelling feature, instantly allowing you to reduce any unwanted background noise, as well as with the very useful Ambient sound feature that helps you stay aware of important surrounding sounds.
Music powered by green technology, what can be more beautiful than that?
Men gifting strategy
Inspired by the 5 gift rule strategy I’d say a good strategy would be to focus on these 4 when choosing a gift for him 🙂
- Something he wants
- Something he needs
- Something he didn’t know he wanted
- Something that makes him feel like a hero (gift with a purpose)
And on the flix list today:
A fun watch that gives you an insight into the male psyche- What Men Want! Could be eye opening for women and dare I say for men too!
Final Verdict
Men may be from Mars but you can’t go wrong with a thoughtful and sustainable gift that weaves in compassion, practicality and luxury, for every heart should know that compassion is classy! 🙂
Until the next time,
