10 eco-friendly Christmas gifts for him

Gifts he will use, remember or tell his friends about.

  1. 2

    A day doing something new

    A sauna evening, a fishing trip, a climbing lesson or a hike he would never plan himself.

  2. 3

    A proper repair

    Get his bike serviced, his favourite jacket fixed or his boots resoled. Better than new.

  3. 4

    A tool that lasts a lifetime

    One good knife, axe or pan beats ten cheap gadgets.

  4. 5

    A good second-hand record or book

    The album or novel he loved at twenty, found in a second-hand shop.

  5. 6

    A coffee or beer tasting from a small maker

    Local roasters and brewers often run tastings, and the gift supports a small business.

  6. 7

    A class to learn a skill

    Woodworking, bread baking or bike maintenance: something to do with his hands.

  7. 8

    A homemade gift

    His favourite cookies, a hot sauce or a photo book of the year. Your time is the gift.

  8. 9

    A ticket to something live

    A concert, a match or a play. Memories, not things.

  9. 10

    A promise to do it together

    A handwritten voucher for the trip, the hike or the project you keep talking about.
