The Best Eco-Friendly Stocking Stuffers for Tween Boys

Finding eco-friendly stocking stuffers for tween boys doesn't have to be a chore this holiday season. With the rise of the earth friendly movement, green products for boys has increased dramatically.

Think Steel-Stainless steel water bottles come in a variety of shapes and sizes with cool imprints and designs that will make any tween boy happy. They offer a neat, environmentally friendly way for any tween to tout water to school, play and sporting events.

Think Clothing-Organic cotton, hemp and bamboo clothing is readily accessible in many colors, styles and designs that will suit any green minded tween boy. Organic cotton is incredibly soft, free of pesticides or chemicals and is grown as a sustainable resource. Additionally, bamboo and hemp clothing is just as durable as cotton, and all wash and wear well-which is good, considering how tough tween boys are on their clothes!

Think Solar Power- A fabulously cool green stocking stuffer for tween boys is an earth friendly way for them to recharge batteries for all of their electronics; game boys, cell phones and iPods. Solar Powered battery chargers come in a variety of sizes and for multiple uses and effectively recharge batteries for a variety of items without using electricity. Boys can have fun learning how to use the solar powered charger while knowing their electronics are receiving a boost at no cost to the earth.

Think Body Care- Tween boys, despite what they might tell you, want to look and smell cool. Personal care and hygiene is a breeze with the variety of organic skin care products, shampoos and hair products that are on the market today. Made without parabins or harmful chemicals, organic personal care products are an easy addition to any eco-friendly tweens routine.

Think Sweet- Sweets like lollipops, hard candy, peppermints and even chewing gum are all available in organic varieties. Created without gluten, corn syrup or nut oils, organic sweets offer natural sweeteners and flavor additives-some even using vegetable dyes for color. The big payoff? These organic sweets taste just as good, if not better than, commercially produced candy. Tweens can get their sugar fix the earth friendly way!

Think Wood- Wooden toys, even the kind for big boys, are easily to find. Cars, trucks, airplanes and everything else a tween would love to play with can likely be found made from natural wood and chemical free colorants.

Think Jewelry- Recycled plastics are being used to create fun and funky jewelry that even boys will love. From chunky, boy-appropriate wrist cuffs to necklaces, recycled rubber and plastics can become a great personal statement for tweens.

Think Paper- If your tween boy loves to lose himself in hours of writing or drawing, or is a doodler at heart, consider recycled paper sketch pads or note pads. Available in different sizes and weights, you can find a huge variety of recycled paper notebooks, pads and sketch books for hours of creative fun.

Generally, a bit of internet searching and checking in with your favorite online stores can result in some great eco-friendly stocking stuffers for tween boys. Holiday shopping can be fun, easy and earth friendly!
