Eco-Friendly Christmas Stocking Stuffers for Your Boyfriend

Sometimes the fluff and frills of Christmas conflict with our higher selves. For our eco-conscious guys, who might find some of the holiday fixings a waste of resources, it's often difficult to justify our favorite traditions. But you want to create the perfect Christmas stocking for him. It helps if the stocking stuffing is at least something that supports his eco-conscious beliefs and is eco-friendly.

Sure you can go to the local discount store and buy a bunch of useless junk or barely useful cheap stuff, but $50.00 will buy you some really great eco friendly stocking stuffers. Here's a quick list of ten, but there are lots more out there on the marketplace. This may be the greenest Christmas ever.

A good quality Pocket Utility Knife

Stocking stuffers for the eco warrior should definitely be useful. Men and even little boys love pocket knives. They are just a fun and useful tool and buying one that has multiple features for all those eco jobs that your guy does makes a good pocket utility knife a super idea for a stocking. They come in lots of price ranges, are available in many stores and online. You can see some good ones at Auto Barn.

A Pocket LED Flashlight
Another good idea for your eco guy is a nice pocket LED flashlight. Flashlights are one of those items that just get misplaced in the home or workshop. You need a good flashlight when you go exploring in caves and hiking in the woods.

Hiking Socks

Warm socks always make good stocking stuffers if they're nice ones he wouldn't normally buy. If your eco warrior hikes and most of them do, then these Teko Socks, rated as the best hiking socks in the world will make a cozy addition to his stocking.

Reduce Energy Use

Most Eco warrior guys get excited about simple things like reducing their energy usage. This Bye Bye Standby BBSBUSA Energy Saving Kit at Amazon will do just that and will fit in their stocking nicely. I know, we women wouldn't get excited about electric plugs, but you have to think like a guy. He'll see green savings with this product and be happy.

Recycled Pencils

These recycled pencils make inexpensive stocking stuffers for your eco conscious boyfriend, but also for everyone on your shopping list. These are so cool! Recycled newsprint is rolled around a lead core and fused..You can read all about it here.

Burt's Bees Bay Rum Shaving Soap

Burt's Bees organic products make wonderful stocking stuffers for your green guy. You could stuff his entire stocking full, but my favorite is the old fashioned Bay Rum Shaving Soap. Vintage,old fashioned and green at the same time; plus he'll smell so good!

Aluminum Water Bottle

If your guy is just new to the green lifestyle he may not have a good collection of aluminum water bottles. For his first one, make it a good one. And if he's got a cheap one, replace it with the best, a Sigg Aluminum Water Bottle that is a great eco-friendly stocking stuffer.

Recycled Old School 2010 Calendar

The calendars at Asgard Press would make a wonderful, fun but still eco friendly gift for your boyfriend this year and the variety is just amazing. They've used archival prints and put them on recycled paper and eco friendly ink to create an unique beautiful product. They come in wall and desk sizes. They might not quite fit in his stocking, but you could put a coupon for it in the stocking and have the calendar wrapped in some nice brown wrapping paper just waiting for the New Year. He'll never miss an important date with you again.

Recycled Tin Bookmark

When we look at trying to save the world, one green product after another or one person at a time, it's always a good idea to consider buying products that do just that. These wonderful recycled tin bookmarks made by women in Kenya will let you tuck a colorful eco friendly bookmark into his stocking as a reminder that you share the same commitment to a better world.

Cotton Eco Friendly Bandanas

An eco friendly bandana makes a perfect finishing touch for your boyfriend's stocking. Pick out a color from the many offered at REI products and fold it just so and tuck it into the stocking, completely an eco friendly stocking that any eco warrior boyfriend would love to receive.
