Eco-friendly Gift Ideas for Father’s Day

Spa baskets

Who said that shower baskets are for mothers only? Dads will too love a pampering gift put together by you and filled with green products. Put an organic men’s shaving and body bar in the basket and pair it with a re-usable shaving razor. To gift him a little luxury in his life, add soy candles, organic body moisturizers, bath salts, loofahs, and a cotton or bamboo bathrobe. To complete the basket, include some organic chocolates, his favorite book or a magazine to read while he soaks. Try looking through Etsy’s best selling Father’s Day gift ideas.

Green gadgets

If your dad is a gadget lover this Father’s Day gift him what he loves. The only exception being a gadget that’s also good for the Mother Nature. For instance, if your father is fond of traveling, you can get him a backpack that uses solar energy to charge handheld devices like iPods and smartphones. Alternatively, you can update his PC with an eco-friendly and biodegradable keyboard and mouse set. You could even go one bigger and buy him a new eco-friendly electrical good to replace a current one. This website sells organic light emitting televisions (OLEDs) that are more energy efficient than regular TVs.
