There’s a lot of pressure in getting the perfect gift. We’re not big on receiving gifts ourselves, but we do love to share the love with our friends when the occasion arises. This year, consider giving gifts that your friends and the environment will love with 9 green gifts that are useful, reusable, and affordable.

For the one who adventures in style. Fjallraven has a line of nifty sustainable outdoor clothing made from eco-friendly and organic materials. Our current favorite for the colder weather months is their warm Fjallraven Byron Beanie.

For the one who drinks 8 glasses a day. Make sure they always have their favorite drink in hand, extracted from none other than Mother Earth. Perfect for hiking, backpacking, or filtering water at home, Lifestraw Personal Water Filter is a lifesaver.
Why We Love Them: We meant it when we said ‘lifesaver.’ For each personal filter sold an of portion sales goes towards supplying Lifestraw purifiers for schools around the world.

For the one who loves to cook. Whoever came up with the Flameless Cooking System is a true hero. Your friend will appreciate this tool in emergencies when they’re out camping, stuck without electricity, or escaping the zombie apocalypse.
