This year, treat the eco traveler on your holiday gift list to gear that’s not only great, but will make their life–and journeys–easier.  To help you choose the perfect present for your frequent flier, whether they’re heading south for a safari or simply packing up for a weekend away at an eco B&B, we’ve selected some of our favorite goods “to go.”

Sustainable Suitcases
Heys’ new three piece luggage set is not only lovely to look at, but boasts a kinder side.  Each suitcase is made of 100 percent recycled plastic.  Lightweight, each case is ultra easy to drag down a terminal thanks to four clever spinner-style wheels.  $360 at www.ebags.com.

Eco Carrying Case
Who vacations these days without updating their Flickr accounts and tweeting simultaneously?  Keep in touch with the folks at home by sliding your MacBook into one of these eco-friendly laptop sleeves (above) by ColcaSac.  Heavily padded and suspiciously low-tech looking, nobody will guess that your sleek computer is hidden beneath the all natural hemp.
$33 at www.colcasac.com.

Solar Powered Bluetooth
We’re not huge fans of headset-toting travelers who gab non-stop on the train or absentmindedly body check you, but we are proponents of the cool technology and its ability to keep you connected.  Now, you can keep talking even if you’re not near a charging outlet thanks to the i.Tech.Dynamic solar-chargeable Bluetooth headset.  Sophisticated and clear-sounding, the headset, which features a solar panel along its longest side, allows for up to five hours of talk time in optimum sunlight.
$75 at www.amazon.com.

Recycled Venturing Vest
Patagonia’s Recycled Retro-X Vest is, well, the perfect travel companion. Warm and cozy, it’s made of recycled polyester from soda bottles and post-consumer fabric and available in both men’s and women’s styles for the adventuresome duo. The fact that it’s windproof and mesh-lined is outdone only by its inclusion in the Patagonia Common Threads Recycling Program, which allows you to drop it off when its outworn so it can be turned into something new.
$140 at www.patagonia.com.

Green Travel Guide
There’s no better reading material for a green globetrotter than the Clean Breaks travel book by Rough Guides. Immerse yourself in one of 500 eco-getaways, from mud huts in Jamaica to pink dolphins in Hong Kong. Clearly, it makes for fantastic fodder with fellow travelers – and features 392 glossy pages and 16 full-color maps for planning your next trip.  Want to make it a truly memorable gift?  Slip a round-trip airline voucher and carbon credit certificate inside.  $30 at www.roughguides.com.
