Who says there are no good green tech gifts to give, without looking like a pompous, boring environmentalist?

In fact, green tech gifts can be fun. Well, almost fun. Or at least useful and cool and interesting.

Oh, what the heck, these gifts are fun. And they’re affordable.

We’ve put together a list of last minute “green” gifts you can present to your love ones without feeling like preachy old Al Gore. For that reason, we’ve eliminated utilitarian things like surge suppressors and smart surge suppressors that can kill vampire power. Also out are big-ticket items like expensive energy monitoring/home control systems, solar panels, and energy-saving LED TVs.

That still leaves fun stuff like phones and e-readers. Click here to view our 5 Fun and Affordable Green Tech Gifts.
