Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Gift Guide For Men (UK)

Ethical clothing brand Rapanui makes its supersoft sweatshirts (£40) from organic cotton or recycled cotton, making it a great sustainable choice this Christmas.

Every product Rapanui makes is designed to be sent back when it is worn out. Rapanui then makes new products from your clothes in its renewable energy-powered factory.

When the jumper wears out, you can send it back, and the process begins again.

I love gifting socks – it’s such a practical gift that never goes wrong.

For ethical socks, head to BAM (from £14). This certified B-Corp is on a mission to reduce its carbon footprint and impact on the planet to the absolute minimum by 2030.

Durability is key. BAM reinforces the toe and heel areas so that these socks last as long as possible. It also brings extra cushioning to these key areas.

Most BAM socks are vegan-friendly, but some are blended with mulesing-free merino wool. Do check the description if looking for vegan socks.

Sustainably upgrade his slippers with these cosy recycled felt slippers (£36.75 from Moshulu).

The felt upper is made from 100% recycled bottles, and the elasticated heel cup means they won’t fall off.

There are seven different colours to choose from, so you can pick his favourite colour.

For sustainable sleepwear, Rapanui’s flannel pyjama bottoms (£45) are my top eco-friendly gift choice for men.

These soft and cosy bottoms are made from the softest organic cotton. Not only that, but Rapanui makes them in its renewable energy-powered factory for the smallest impact on the environment possible.

FAIR is the world’s first Fairtrade-certified spirits brand.

Its FAIR Gin (£32.69 at Master Of Malt) is made using the finest Fairtrade ingredients, whilst ensuring that all the people involved in creating the gin – from field to distillation and bottling are treated equally.

The end result is a seriously tasty gin – with hints of vanilla, honey, juniper, and cinnamon – that is sure to be enjoyed by any gin connoisseur.

Looking to gift some tasty chocolates? These seriously delicious plastic-free chocolates from Chococo (from £5.50) are sure to be a hit.

There are heaps of vegan and non-vegan options for all tastes.

This plant-based box (£29) features 25 handcrafted vegan chocolates, in a variety of flavours – from fruity numbers, festive flavours, silky caramels, and decadent truffles. You’ll all be fighting over who gets the last one!

Crumbs Beer (£3.50 at Ocado) is a great introduction to the world of sustainable beer.

Each beer is brewed from unsold artisan bread that would otherwise go to waste. Partnering with Chalk Hills Bakery in Surrey, Crumbs Brewing turns these unsold loaves like sourdough, rye, and naan into distinctive beers – from the crisp Sourdough Pale Ale to the rich Rye Ruby Ale.

Sustainable skincare for men is something that is tricky to find in the UK. There are really limited options.

One of the best is Neal’s Yard (from £15). All of it’s products are made from with natural and organic ingredients, and many come in recyclable and refillable glass bottles.

Find face wash, shave cream, hair and body wash, and moisturiser, all specially formulated for men.

This solid shampoo bar from Green People (£16.50) is a great gift idea for men looking to green their grooming regime.

Plastic-free with recyclable cardboard packaging, cruelty-free and vegan, this bar is a treat for their hair, whilst being kind to the planet. It smells great too, and lasts for up to 60 washes.

For sustainable hydration on the go – whether that’s water, coffee, or tea – then Ocean Bottle (from £35) is one of my top choices.

It keeps your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot, and it can go right into the dishwasher for easy cleaning.

Made from double-wall vacuum-insulated stainless steel and recycled materials, it’s guaranteed for 10 years. Plus, for every bottle sold, Ocean Bottle commits to the collection of the equivalent of 1000 plastic bottles.

This 241-piece Ocean Wave jigsaw (£40 from Wentworth) is a sustainable puzzler’s dream.

Made in Wiltshire using wood from sustainably managed forests, the box is made with recycled materials and packaged without plastic.

Despite only being 240 pieces, the wave-shaped puzzle pieces make this puzzle extra hard!
