Why are men always so tricky to shop for? The men in our life always seem to buy themselves the cool products, which leaves us scratching our heads by the time the holidays roll around. That's why our men's gift guide this year focuses on every day items that are made to last. Yes, he has t-shirts, but he probably doesn't have a crisp, classically cut shirt made from organic cotton, or a bloody mary mix that's made from super simple ingredients and tastes so good his friends will swear it's homemade. Check out the best sustainable, non-toxic, gift picks below!
This year, we have highlighted many products by many Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) owned/founded brands. Buying from these brands is a great way to support economic opportunities in BIPOC communities and celebrates diversity in the sustainability space. Additionally, since climate change is an urgent issue with so many health impacts, we are also highlighting brands that are Climate Neutral certified. That means that the brand has committed to measure, offset, and reduce the carbon they emit. We believe that consumers and companies must work together to embrace and make true commitments to diversity and sustainability. Look no further for the ultimate gift guide!
