With Christmas just a few short days away, it’s important that you get out there (if you haven’t already) and get that perfect gift for the guys in your life.
Guys, like children, in general are notoriously hard to buy for, as we usually like to receive things we want, not necessarily the things we need. Buying “green” gifts for men is even harder as a result. We won’t likely get too excited about a tie, pair of shorts, or socks made from recycled materials, but a Fair Trade soccer ball or football? We might get up off the couch for that!
Thankfully, US News & World Report has put out a “Green Fit Guide: For Him” that details several different “green” gifts for you to choose from, including our Fair Trade sports balls. This guide has wallets, bikes, radios, travel kits, picture frames – it really runs the gamut. Many different sorts of things can be purchased “green” if you take the time to look around.
You can follow the links provided on the US News & World Report green guide and check out other “green” items from those selling the recommended gifts, do your own snooping and discover other dealers and gifts, or, of course, pick up some of our Fair Trade products.
What is most important is not only the money that gets properly redistributed when you make a Fair Trade purchase, but also the message you spread when you give a “green” gift this Holiday season. The receiver of your conscientious gift will also receive a message with their gift, whether it be about recycling, Fair Trade, or eco-friendliness. The message you put across to those to whom you give “green” gifts has the opportunity to spread far beyond what you could imagine. Next year, your loved ones may all be giving “green” gifts to their loved ones, spreading the message exponentially.
