15 Gift Ideas for Guys (That Support Good Causes!)

They say guys are easier to give presents to. A few pairs of socks or a classic necktie are among the typical gifts for men, but if you wanna go out of the ordinary and give something that'll really make a good impression on the special guy in your life, we've got some ideas for you:

For Good Grooming

Who says guys can't go for a zero-waste lifestyle? Here's a good grooming kit that, not only supports sustainable habits, but also brings social impact to communities and NGOs.

Choose from a combination of bamboo toothbrush and floss or natural shaving cream and hair shaper pomade, plus our best-selling reusable bamboo razor.

The Lakbawayan Labahabamboo is a double-edged safety razor handmade with a bamboo handle. It has a "closed comb" design which keeps the blade slightly off the skin, and the razor head unscrews from the handle for blade changing and cleaning.
