Looking for a gift for that eco-conscious person in your life?

Or want to choose a gift that holds a little more meaning? What better way than to gift that special someone a product that’s sustainably made. We compiled a list of some of our favorite gifts that are produced sustainably and made with eco-friendly materials. You’ll feel good about these gifts and so will the person receiving them. 

Gregory Resin - Recycled Everyday Adventure Pack

The Resin daypack is centered around two things; making your daily routine infinitely easier and taking a step towards sustainability. The packs are built with completely recycled materials, PVC-free coated fabrics, and conscience choices in construction to reduce the impact that each backpack has on the future of our environment. The sustainable materials, although new for Gregory, don’t come at the expense of quality and performance. Mindful additions like their weather-resistant front panel, dedicated laptop sleeve and front handle for an easier carry make the Resin a smart choice for those looking for functionality and to make an environmentally-conscious choice.

The Resin | 24L ($99.95), 26L ($109.95) + 30L ($119.95)

 
 

Royal Robbins Hemp Socks

Royal Robbins’ line of Hemp Socks is naturally soft, odor-resistant, and blended with recycled polyester and nylon for lasting durability. Hemp is a highly sustainable textile crop and grown primarily with rain water, zero pesticides, and its deep root systems promote soil health and prevent erosion. For every pair purchased, Royal Robbins will donate 1% of sales to the Adventure Travel Conservation Fund (ATCF) to fund conservation projects that protect cultural and natural resources and help local economies dependent on tourism.

Its soft foam filling packs small and expands big, with the XL size measuring a generous 16.5 x 27 in. (42 x 67 cm) for home-like comfort wherever you are.

Outdoor Research Kulshan Men’s Flannel Shirt & Kulshan Women’s Flannel Tunic

Using a unique stretch Sorona polyester that is constructed using 37 percent plant-based materials, the men’s Kulshan Flannel Shirt and women’s Kulshan Flannel Tunic offer performance in a package with an eye toward sustainability. This material requires 30 percent less energy in production and reduces emissions by 63 percent compared to regular polyester/spandex fabrics. And, because the quick-drying, wrinkle-resistant fabric also doesn’t employ spandex to create its integrated stretch, it absorbs less water.
