10 Must-Have Green Gifts for Every Person on your List

1. The Philanthropist

Supporting a favorite charity or cause is a truly thoughtful alternative to trinkets and trifles. If you’re new to giving, groups such as Charity Navigator or the American Institute of Philanthropy can help you make informed decisions. 

We like Trees for a Change, a program that offers “Tree Gift Cards.” Once you present the gift cards, send Trees for a Change one of the included postcards with the name of the person for whom the tree will be planted.

Trees for a Change is also a green business certified by Green America and is committed to sustainable business practices, including using only 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper for its tree gift certificates and cards, as well as planting extra trees to offset its carbon emissions.

2. The Gadget Geek

We love this portable solar electronics charger from Gaiam for the electronics aficionado on your list. No matter what you need to charge – an iPod, cell phone or rechargeable batteries – all you need is a little sun.

A rugged, hardcover-book-sized plastic case stores a 20-inch USB cable, various adapter jacks and a 4.4-watt solar module. It also includes a AA/AAA battery charger, so you can juice up even more electronics while you’re working off the grid.
