Eco-Friendly, Green Graduation Gift Guide

As the school year is winding down many people have graduations to attend and gifts to purchase for the enthusiastic, tingling with possibilities graduate.  I thought I would help you find some eco-friendly graduation finds for the graduate in your life.

Dodo Case ipad cover

I just love the concept behind these Dodo Case iPad covers.  They are handcrafted in San Fransico with traditional book binding methods and have a solid core sustainable bamboo tray.  When closed your iPad just looks like a book, very sneaky how low tech meets high tech.

 

Some grads receive cars as graduation gifts.  If your a newly minted Facebook millionaire  (base price about $100,000) you can order one of these babies for your favorite graduate.  The Tesla Roadster is the first all electric car approved for highway use in the United States.  Your grad may have to wait a bit for her present as they are currently sold out in North America.

 

Here is another traditional graduation present.  Help that grad get to work or those college classes on time.  This vintage watch is from Soviet Era and is made by Probeda circa 1970-80′s.

 

This classic necklace is great addition to  the post college graduates work wardrobe.  The Melo Necklace by Bario-Neal jewelry is handcrafted in Philadelphia with reclaimed precious metals; ethically-sourced stones; and low-impact, environmentally conscious practices.

 

recycled messenger bag, briefcase

A messenger bag or briefcase is always a good idea for the graduate.  This one is created by Sew Much Style  on Etsy from recycled men’s suiting fabric.

 

Enjoy!
