What do you buy the guy who has everything? Whether you’re shopping this holiday season for your father, your husband, your brother or another guy in your life, it’s hard to know what to buy the men on our shopping lists who say they don’t want anything.

If this sounds familiar, we recommend thinking green this holiday season. These days, it’s easier than ever to find environmentally conscious companies and ethical brands. And many more people are actively looking for ways to be less wasteful. Gift-giving should be no different.
