Your own gift list may be full of the eco-minded fashion, gear, and gadgets that make your life a little greener, but what about the people you're buying for? Some of them may not even be trying to go green—we all know someone that still needs a reminder just to recycle. That's why we've pulled together gifts that encourage the recipient to live a more environmentally-friendly life—whether he intends to or not—without pulling too much green from your wallet.

You know that going green doesn't have to be complicated—a few small changes here, a little planning there—and Ready, Set, Green is a user-friendly guide that will convince even your most wasteful friends to rethink their carbon footprint. Treehugger founder Graham Hill and Treehugger and Planet Green editor Meaghan O'Neill organized tips on everything from saving energy to finding a green career into easy-to-follow steps that make this book a gift that keeps on giving.

We know that household cleaning products may not be at the top of your gift list, but the peppermint-scented holiday clean-up kit from Mrs. Meyers just might change that. The set includes four all-natural 8-ounce scrubs-countertop spray, liquid dish soap, all-purpose cleaner, and window spray-that are also biodegradable. Don't be surprised if they end up on even your messy younger brother's list next year. (Mrs. Meyers, $14.99)
