The Most Comfortable Belt
Unbelts are game-changing! My husband frequently claims the Intrepid belt is the best belt he’s ever worn and he’s never going back to traditional belts. The elastic makes them super comfortable and versatile – especially for helping pants that are too big in the waist fit just right.
In addition to their fit and comfort, the bulk-free buckle also doesn’t look lumpy under shirts or create little holes.
Unbelts are size inclusive (0-5X+) and made in Canada with a variety of sustainability initiatives, including using recycled polyester elastic and a zero waste upcycling program. They’re also a B Corp, living wage employer, and give back to community programs and organizations.
Location: Canada, with online stores for Canada and the United States.
Experience Voucher
Experiences not only make great eco friendly gifts but are also perfect for those who don’t want more stuff.
Tinggly makes it easy to give experiences and getaways all over the world. You simply select one of their packages or a specific experience. They have everything from culinary experiences, tours, and adrenaline adventures, to weekend getaways and hotel stays.
Tinggly gives you the option of an e-voucher or a gift box. Tinggly also carbon offsets each experience by 200% — making them a more sustainable (and often more affordable) way to purchase travel and experience gifts!

Give his phone an eco-friendly makeover with a Pela phone case. Their cases are made from a biodegradable ‘Flaxstic’ – flax shive and bio-based polymer. They provide protection for the phone while being compostable when no longer needed. They are also BPA, BPS, phthalate, and lead free.
Pela cases come in a wide range of designs and styles to fit all personalities and their accessories like compostable grips, phone card holders, and airpod cases also make great sustainable stocking stuffers.

Cozy Hoodie or Sweatshirt
Who doesn’t love a soft and classic hoodie?
A tentree hoodie is my husband’s Christmas gift 🤫 and his third tentree hoodie because he loves them so much. They have both minimalist styles or more bold styles with graphics but all are made with soft and sustainable fabrics.
tentree has a variety of environmental initiatives such as planting 10 trees for every purchase (hence the name). They are a B Corp and have great transparency about their manufacturing with public factory lists and code of conduct.

Weighted Blanket
Help him experience the ultimate relaxation with a weighted blanket – the weight can help with calming the body and promoting deeper sleep. We love our chunky knit blanket from Bearaby both for the aesthetic and also because it’s not full of plastic beads like many weighted blankets.
Bearaby offer two natural fibre options; organic cotton and also Tencel for those looking for a cooler option. They come in variety of weights and also individual or queen/king sizes.

A thoughtful gift for music lovers, gamers, or anyone working from home.

Audiobook Credits
