Awesome stocking stuffers are hard to find. Awesome eco-friendly stocking stuffers are even harder. If you're still looking for those last couple of green gadgets to stuff in the stocking of your favorite green geeks, look no further...
1. The New iPod Shuffle
The latest iPod shuffle is Apple's smallest, greenest, most affordable iPod to date. Just how green is it? Check out its eco-features:
- Brominated flame retardant-free
- PVC-free
- Highly recyclable aluminum enclosure
- Smaller, more compact packaging (60% smaller, 53% lighter)
Pick one up a 2GB iPod Shuffle at your local Apple Stores for $49.
2. Black Diamond Spot Headlamp
Black Diamond redesigned their already highly-touted LED headlamp. It's equipped with 1 HighFlux LED, 2 white proximity LEDs and 2 red proximity LEDs for amazing brightness and total lighting versatility.
The high-quality lens tunes the light output and shape of the beam to make the Spot ideal for running, skiing, climbing, hiking, paddling and route finding in the dark
The HighFlux LED throws out a huge 75 lumens from its unbelievably compact package, the 2 white proximity LED's provide light for around camp, and the 2 red LED's allow you to dig into your bag or check your map without wrecking your night vision.
Pick one up from your local REI for $39.95 for the camper or hiker on your Christmas list.
3. Amazon Kindle
Everyone thinks the Kindle can only be purchased from Amazon.com. Not true.
The Kindle is a ridiculously eco-friendly way to read all the books you could possibly want. The new Kindle is a mere 1/3'' thick and weighs 8.7 oz.
It's equipped with a 6'' e-ink display. E-ink is a crazy technology that allows the Kindle to rock a battery life that approaches a month on a single charge.
That alone gives us major green street credibility, but if that weren't enough, think of all of the trees that won't meet their demise to fuel your love of reading regular paper books.
Where can you buy a Kindle in-store? Pick one up a 3G + WiFi Kindle 3 at your local Target for $189.
So there you have it. Go forth and conquer your last minute stocking stuffer shopping in eco-friendly style.
