In the past it has been a bit of a struggle to get the perfect gift for the men in my life. Yes, there are always the standard go-to-gifts such as the tie, the swiss knife (which I love) and the beer steins. But todays eco-dude has much better taste and deserves a bit of creativity in the gift giving process. Here are some really unique and interesting gifts for the men in your life this upcoming holiday season and beyond.
Pick #1 - Totally Cool Clock Made From a Computer Hard Drive
This is such a great gift for anyone who is into technology. This would be great for an office desk to give it that unique edge. And its just fun to look at!!
This is a real 3 1/2in computer Hard drive that has been transformed into a working desk clock using a USA made quartz drive movement. The clock measures 4"w x 6"h, and runs on 1 AA battery, included. It will make a great conversation piece on your desk or a special gift for that geek you know who is so hard to shop for.
About The Artisan: PixelThis
I have been taking things apart since the day I could walk, and occasionally putting them back together. These are a few my attempts at making something entirely different. I am always looking for any kind of cool junk, computers, cameras, watches, you name it! I am especially fond of anything Apple.
This is just a simple cool gift for any eco dude in your life. What a great conversation starter. It would go something like, "Hey, did you notice my belt is made from a tire?", "What?? Really?? Let me see....". And so the connection is made. Seriously though. This is a very unique gift that you know your eco dude will only receive ONE of and will totally LOVE.
About: Mild Road Tread - Black/Grey
This belt is made from a used road bike tire. It has a mild black tread with gray stripes. Backing is black rubber. Belt is 1 inch wide, buckle is nickel plated steel.
This tire was rescued from the trash after a tire change at the bike shop. It has some use to it and the tread is showing a little wear.
About The Artisan: JulienJaborska
I love bikes. I love riding them, building them, fixing them, thinking about them, looking at them. A bike is the ultimate in transportation and recreation.
I try to transfer this love and respect for bikes into art by recycling no-longer-useful parts.
Pick #3- Vintage Double Sided Dart Board - Made in England
This one speaks for itself. Every dude, eco or not would love to have one of these hanging in there room or office. You won't know how much fun a game of darts can be until you try it. Truly...it's a very cool gift.
About The Board: Darts are neat. A super fun vintage dart board. One side is a traditional dart board with a detachable metal screen and the other side is a baseball game. I think it makes a great re-purposed memo board! Fantastic vintage shape with some tweaking to the metal screen. Awesome graphics & a nice worn look.
Enjoy!!
