Our Unique and Conscious Gift Ideas for Men

For The Comfort Lover: Industry of all Nations

We are in love with Industry of all Nations as a unisex fashion line, but when it came to gift ideas for men this felt like a perfect fit as their items are worn by all the husbands on our team!

Industry of All Nations (IOAN) is changing how things are made because we believe the world is a global village. For thousands of years, people around the world have been making localized products in the best way possible, but in a globalized manufacturing system, cultural heritage is lost and resources are depleted. IOAN work to bring manufacturing back to the original makers at the source of the raw materials, utilizing ancestral methods paired with modern practices to make non-toxic clothing, accessories and objects. The perfect gift to help move us into a more sustainable future of fashion.

For Self Care: Obakki

We feel that all gift ideas for men have to have a natural skincare element as they might not buy it for themselves! Crafted with the purest raw ingredients, the entire collection is designed to give you healthy, radiant skin. Obakki’s products are created from real connections between the women-led cooperatives in Africa, contributing to a positive social and environmental impact for entire communities while preserving, promoting and protecting local economies and environments for their farmers.

For the Home Lovers: 1st Dibs

We all know the man who loves to curate his home – and what better way to do it sustainably than by sourcing vintage from 1st Dibs?

1stDibs is a leading online marketplace for extraordinary design. For over 25 years, they have captured the magic of the Paris flea market, connecting those seeking the most beautiful things on earth with highly coveted sellers and makers in vintage, antique and contemporary furniture, home décor, art, fine jewelry, watches and fashion. We think that getting the man in your life something one of a kind and zero waste is an amazing gesture!

For The Nature Lover: Bloom Farm

For the Cocktail Lover: Lost Explorer

We know that a good bottle of alcohol can be a wonderful gift idea for men, and we love that the Lost Explorer is creating truly amazing and regenerative mezcals and tequila. The Lost Explorer is committed to the sustainable production of high-quality handcrafted agave spirits in a manner that benefits the local mezcal and tequila producing communities in Oaxaca and Jalisco while protecting its biodiversity.

For The One Who Loves Working With His Hands: Shelter Institute

When thinking about gift ideas for men that so many would be excited about, we wanted to include something personal. This recommendation is from our co-founder Cora’s husband Jamie, who has recently started taking online courses from the Shelter Institute in Maine on everything from timber framing to tool sharpening. The recipient of an online course can get expert training and step-by-step guidance without having to travel far away or spend thousands in tuition. Help anyone in your life who is into working with his hands dive into the world of timber framing and woodworking, they can even teach him how to build his own house!

For The Outdoorsy One: ECOALF

Created by Javier Goyeneche, ECOALF is a sustainable clothing brand with a focus on sustainable outerwear. If your loved one is the outdoorsy type or just loves a practical clothing piece, ECOALF is a great unexpected option and unique way to introduce them to a new eco brand.

For The Foodie: Flamingo Estate

Flamingo Estate, with the help of their friends and a network of incredible farmers, they grow sage for soap and tomatoes for candles. They harvest salt from the cliffs of Big Sur and press olive oil from very old trees and keep bees for honey. In all of it, they’re invested in pleasure — for themselves and their clients and friends — because they think it’s a path to radical change and cataclysmic beauty. Flamingo Estate have a variety of holiday gifts all sourced and grown regeneratively and with love. The perfect gift for a foodie this holiday!
