Eco-Friendly Gifts For Men: Best UK Sustainable Ideas

Ethical clothing brand Rapanui makes its supersoft sweatshirts (£45) right here in the UK from recycled organic cotton.

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 £6). 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.
