There is a big movement worldwide towards social and environmental conscienceness. Towards an understanding that we all have to live together in this world, and we need to do it in a way that is less destructive to the environment, and less unfair to those less fortunate than us.
So I’d like to make some suggestions for Christmas gifts for the socially and environmentally aware male. Christmas gifts that you can give him knowing that you can both be satisfied that your choice of gift is one which pays attention to those principals.
I’m going to be suggesting some gifts from Fair Trade. Fair Trade is “an international human rights organization dedicated to promoting environmental, political and social justice.”
They do much good work, including offering a shop where aware shoppers can shop for wonderful Christmas gifts, or birthday gifts or any other type of gifts, for both men and women. Where gift shoppers can find a huge range of gift ideas sourced from environmentally and socially responsible sources.
Here’s 4 quite unique Christmas gift ideas from the Fair Trade shop, any of which would make a wonderful Christmas gift for the right man.
1. A Mans Bone Necklace.
Whilst not all men wear jewelry, many do, and here is a unique and quite distinctive Christmas gift for the man who likes his jewelry.
It’s a bone necklace from Kenya. Bone carving is a tradition in Kenya that goes back centuries, and is passed from family to family.
This is a necklace that he can wear confident that he’s not going to see it on many other men this year. Quite unique.
2. A Peruvian Gourd Birdhouse.
For the man who loves to see birds in his garden, buy him a birdhouse made in Peru from gourds. Each one is different, as each gourd is different, and many feature scenes of village life.
The perfect way to attract birdlife to the garden to fill it with song.
3. A Chocolate Gift Basket With A Difference.
Featuring all sorts of organic chocolate, both milk and dark, that you’ve probably never heard of before. Includes chocolate java drops, organic cocoa and other chocolate delights.
4. A Hand Carved Set Of Dominoes.
Sourced from Thailand, from the markets around Chaing Mai. Beautifully carved and colored, and incredibly cheap. Just $18 for hand carved work. A stunning Christmas gift for any man who likes his games.
And if you enjoy Dominoes too then you can both spend some quality time together, playing.
There are dozens of distinctive and [tag-tec]unique Christmas gift ideas[/tag-tec] for men and women on their site, you’ll be surprised when you visit to see what’s there. You may well find that you do all of your Christmas shopping at that one site!
Visit Fair Trade, it’s all there. And you can be confident that the gifts you buy this Christmas will benefit other people other than just you and your man.
