Not sure about you, but I find men to be a bit hard to shop for. Especially under the added pressure of zero waste. But every year I somehow manage to pull together gifts I’m relatively satisfied with for them. I didn’t lose hope. And I was right – there are zero waste gifts for men out there! That’s why I decided to assemble a helpful zero waste gift guide for men. You just have to get a little creative is all – and know the men in your life. That helps too. Here are 60 zero waste gifts for men.

60 Zero Waste Gifts for Men
Every year for Christmas I find myself getting a little extra creative for my husband’s gifts.
One year, I thought it would be fun to do a zero waste gift basket when we were still just dating.
I got a big sturdy wicker basket (totally reusable) and filled it with all kinds of zero waste goodies: Local craft beer, stainless steel tiffin with a reusable razor and blades inside, an engraved beer glass, organic clothing and a compostable phone case. I decorated it with some pine sprigs and it looked so adorable – he really loved it. And I loved making it for him. I love gift giving.
The truth is, gifting from the heart is an art. You have to truly know the other person and understand what they like. You have to think: What will they use and appreciate the most? And I know my husband well enough to do that. Same with my dad.
That doesn’t mean finding zero waste gifts for them are easy though. It’s actually quite tricky. But, somehow I do it every year!
If you’re in the same boat, I hope this post will inspire you and help you out. Here’s a list of zero waste gifts for men they’re bound to appreciate. The purchasable gifts on this list are from eco-friendly websites that will ship your orders plastic-free.
