We love our Apple-related gifts year-round. Here’s a roundup of stylish earth-friendly ways to protect those iPhones.

• Grove: not your run-of-the-mill iPhone case — these are handmade in Portland, Oregon … an eco designaphobe’s planet-friendly iPhone cases fashioned from renewable bamboo and recycled hardwood. Choose from either their house designs (Pulsar & Spot are personal favs; $99) or submit your own design – a little pricey but neat way to personalize that very precious device. A custom design costs around $129 & takes several weeks to turnaround. @ grovemade.com
• More sharp sustainable options by Grove: snag an iPhone 5 case made from skateboard scrap for under $30 via amazon.com. In three snappy colorways, the fresh Skateback line is made of 100% post-industrial skateboard material.
• For iPhone 4/4s: the sleek Tribeca is made of 100% recycled Maple wood – under $43.
• Here are a couple of colorful (blue and pink) iPhone 5 cases made of 100% recycled PET ($35/ea).
• EimoLife – nice iPhone 5 bamboo cases for under $24 @ amazon.com

Here is the perfect lamp for ushering in the New Year – funky, fun and OOAK – this colorful table lamp is made from a wide array of wacky, upcycled components.  The lamp is a visually delectable concoction of retro cocktail shaker, nut bowl, four billiard balls, a screwdriver handle and more…

The perfect accessory for a finished basement bar or man cave. $225 @ the BeeJayKay Etsy shop
