# 1 – Sustainable Christmas gifts for men: Notebook<\/span><\/h4>\n

As for notes, I am just as oldschool<\/strong> as with appointments. They are still noted in my handwriting<\/strong>. The calendar is in front of me on a desk<\/strong> and I have everything in sight without having to turn on my phone again. And that’s the same with notes. I have a lot of them and they are just written in notebooks<\/strong>. Then they occupy no unnecessary storage space in my head<\/strong>, can be viewed well and be crossed out once they are done. That’s great, effective is stylish and that’s why the pretty everyday helper from Friday to custom 1A is a lasting Christmas gift for men. Plus: These small new everyday helpers<\/strong> ensure that no waste<\/strong> is left on the tables of the Swiss bag designer. Notebook from Friday, from 38 Euro, soon at Friday.ch<\/a> Full written? Then simply get new inlays …<\/p>\n

# 2 – Sustainable Christmas gifts for men: constant companion<\/span><\/h4>\n

Men and bags, that’s still such a thing. Mostly the jacket and trouser pockets<\/strong> are stuffed instead of trying to get a bag. Sorry, you should not generalize, but that’s my experience<\/strong> from many, many years and I apologize to all those who do not conform to this stereotype. But nevertheless, this bag is intended for both<\/strong>. Those who have not used it yet can get in with it in style, and those who use it diligently will take the bag feeling to a new level with the “Day Tripper”<\/strong> by David de Rothschild’s<\/strong> label The Lost Explorer. Made of the ultrapractic and durable everyday companion<\/strong> of water-table remnants, which were developed for the British Ministry of Defense. Thanks to waterproof seams<\/strong> and zips, all your belongings stay dry. Bags by The Lost Explorer<\/strong>, about to $ 235, at thelostexplorer.com<\/a> Attention limited<\/p>\n

# 3 – Sustainable Christmas gifts for men: Beautifier<\/span><\/h4>\n

Apparently, man is also taking a preference for care products<\/strong>. And before he uses our crucibles<\/strong> again and again (or even worse: brings some drugstore products), he gets something special this year. However, to be as enthusiastic about his gift as we do, a few points must be kept in mind: It has to work fast, must absorb super fast<\/strong> and be uncomplicated<\/strong> to use. And as for me, it should be a natural product. That’s why I put the “Nature of Men”<\/strong> care series from Pharmos Natur<\/strong> on this list here. There is the best of everything: Aloe Vera Bio Ursaft<\/strong> replaces the water and ensures that the plant nutrients get there, where they should work. My husband gets the effect serum with cranberry, grape seed oil and natural hyaluronic acid – which he can then use as an aftershave as well as a natural freshness kick in between. Effect Serum<\/strong>, 50 ml, around 98 Euro, at pharmos-natur-shop.de<\/a><\/p>\n

# 4 – Sustainable Christmas gifts for men: Winter shoes<\/span><\/h4>\n

Because my husband is the classic sneaker type<\/strong>, he also wears it in winter, of course. The alternatives<\/strong> I proposed were consistently rejected. For years. But recently I got a small victory: the “Argan Mid”<\/strong> by ekn footwear seems to be sneaker enough to please my husband. And because it’s also made from organic wool felt,<\/strong> it’s definitely warmer than anything in its shoe cabinet. Oh yes, the cool hightop is lined with leather, its sole is recycled and made by hand in Portugal<\/strong>. The claim of the Frankfurt-based label that I discovered at the Greentec Awards<\/a> in Munich: Walking clean in a dirty world<\/strong>. Clear that sooner or later a model will move in with us. “Argan Mid” by ekn footwear x Mr. Bailey, around 170 euros, at eknfootwear.com<\/a><\/p>\n

# 5 – Sustainable Christmas gifts for men: Everything to go<\/span><\/h4>\n

My children takes them every day<\/strong> at school and I can not leave home without them – drinking bottles have become constant companions for zero waste fans<\/a>. Only my husband does not have his own. But that will change at Christmas<\/strong>. He’s not really a coffee addict unlike me, but he’s thirsty too. And the super-practical insulated bottles by Klean Kanteen<\/strong> not only keep the drinks warm (up to 14 hours)<\/strong>, but also cool in the summer (up to 40 hours). And I find that particularly practical<\/strong>: the large opening. This is a great way to fill in and pour out. And he will be especially happy about that: a wonderfully steaming soup<\/strong> in the mountains!

# 6 – Sustainable Christmas gifts for men: Knitted Jumper<\/span><\/h4>\n

Cuddly, <\/strong>wonderfully warm<\/strong> and extremely fair – the Brattland Sweater no. 1<\/strong> is the result of intensive studies and extra sustained commitment<\/strong>. And now the Swedish outdoor label Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven<\/strong> has succeeded in making a knit sweater that can be worn with the best of conscience. On their own farm in \u00c5re in central Sweden<\/strong>, Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven keeps a herd of J\u00e4mtland sheep<\/strong> living in the wild. And just as natural as the environment and the nature of animal husbandry is the limited collection<\/strong>. Undyed and spun and knit in Sweden, the wool from Brattlandsg\u00e5rden Farm can be traced back to 100%<\/strong>. Transparency, animal welfare and environmental protection as well as the best quality were the incentives for Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven to make the wool comprehensible in addition to the transparent production chain<\/strong> for down. Currently there are only 120<\/strong> of these gorgeous sweaters, because they come from the first shearing. Brattland Sweater no. 1 by Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven, around 400 euros, at fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven.de<\/a><\/p>\n

# 7 – Sustainable Christmas gifts for men: Spices<\/span><\/h4>\n

… and because cooking is not only modern<\/strong>, but goes through the stomach, delights friends and family, the apartment flows with a wonderful fragrance<\/strong>, the life and every now and then requires a bit of individuality and new momentum, is the gift set<\/strong> with three Great types of pepper, which taste fantastic individually and are individually mixed, just the best. With: Tiger pepper<\/strong> (66g), Kubeben pepper<\/strong> (61g) and Tellicherry pepper<\/strong>, which thanks to the chic mortar from Zassenhaus can always be freshly prepared to spice up pasta, salads & Co. Speaking of proper seasoning: In my kitchen are still the turbo hot spice, the tofu spice, Sporty Spice … Since I met the guys from the Dusseldorf-based spice label a few years ago, I have nothing else<\/strong> left in my spice rack – solo or as a mixture. In any case, always inspiring. Spice-Set “Pfeffer-Profi”<\/strong> by Just Spices, around 48 Euro, at justspices.de<\/a><\/p>\n
