Today’s post is, as promised, once again directed (mostly) towards all of you eco-friendly gentleman readers out there – and the lovely women in your lives who like to buy them presents. I’ve compiled a range of interesting, unique, and clever gadgets, accessories and personal items that you don’t have to feel guilty about buying.

OK, I admit – I’ve written about the good people at Resource Revival in the past – I love their stuff so much that I bought one of my closest male friends their Sproket Wall Clock for Christmas. If you’re looking for a similarly cool (non-clock) gift for your favorite green guy, check out these nifty recycled Bottle Openers. Made from reclaimed bicycle chains, these bottle openers are affordable ($9.00 apiece), come in a variety of bright colors, and fit on a key chain.

If you’re looking for recycled bike-inspired jewelry, you might also check out this 7-inch bracelet made from a reclaimed bike chain. For just $12 you can show the world that you’re both eco-friendly and practical (you know, in case your chain break while biking you can always fix the chain with your bracelet)!

In looking for the coolest summer shoes possible, I found these Hermes Flip Flops from Be Good Designs. Made from 100% recycled leather, these stylish shoes are available in brown, black and tan. While they aren’t cheap (they sell for $98 apiece), they are sturdy, well-made and eco-friendly.

If you’re looking for a sturdier sandal, you might like the Apolo Sandals. Made from leather reclaimed out of car seats (no lie), these shoes also sell for $98 and come in black, brown and tan. Be Good Designs believes in treating the planet with respect, and manufactures all of their products in a sustainable manner. The materials used, suppliers contracted, and laborers hired are all treated in a fair and humane manner, and all apply eco-principles to their own part of these products’ production.

We all need bags sometimes, and finding cool eco-bags can be difficult (trust me, I’ve looked plenty). If you’re looking for a decent-sized messenger bag, consider buying the Wellesley Messenger Bag from Jack & Marjorie. Made from reclaimed leather, military surplus tent canvas and organic cotton twill (for the lining), each of these bags is unique in their own little ways. The Wellesley is large (W 15.5″ x H 11″ X D 3″), and as sturdy as your favorite canvas tent. Find this (and other messenger bags) on the Jack & Marjorie website.

Here’s hoping that one of these nifty items suits you (or your favorite green guy)!
