[Check out these links for green gift guides for Angelenos, guys, gals, kids & babies, or green LA girl. Gift baskets and non-consumer gifts here :)]
Be a green man for the new year, cuz green gals will dig you! Or, green your fave man!
Let’s start with undies. You’ve got options! Want organic cotton? Pick from boxers, boxer briefs, or briefs at BTC Elements.
Want bamboo? If you’re in LA, you can get fairly-made bamboo undies from Butta at the Crenshaw/Baldwin Hills Mall.
Then put some pants on. Get a pair of Certified Jeans. 100% organic cotton, made in the US. Pick from 3 different cuts and 3 different colors. Cost: $74 – $94.
For shirts, check out Patagonia for everything eco-friendly from polo to crew to hemp to flannel to sport to button-down shirts :)
Wanna dress it up a bit? Try the Unite in Green tie!
Other accessories: A solar backpack or messenger bag from Voltaic, a hemp belt, a hemp wallet, or a Jimi :)
And for those feet: Check out No Sweat’s expanding shoe line!
Need more ideas? Check out the other offerings at the above stores. If those don’t meet your needs, try No Sweat or Kusikuy Clothing.
I’d like to take this opportunity to steer men toward boxers instead of briefs –
I also got so psyched ’bout this list that I tried to make a cute lil green man of my own (right) — but it didn’t work out so well, mainly due to lack of face –

Or you could just type “green gifts” into the search at http://greener.com and see the very interesting things that come up ;-)

Hi Siel,
Sorry I couldn’t resist that shameless bit of self-promotion.
Loved the gift suggestions, especially the NoSweat site — thanks. And Happy Holidays!
Nitin
