Eco-Friendly Gift Ideas For Busy Dads

Looking for a gift for Father’s Day. If you’re looking for something special, why not choose an eco-friendly gift? There is a range of environmentally friendly products available, perfect for dads who never stop. This list of eco-friendly Father’s Day gifts has something for every type of busy dad. These unique gifts are not only practical but great for the planet too. Sustainable gifts are the perfect way to say that you care, and it’s also the best way you can help reduce consumer waste and carbon footprint. What gift could be greater than that?

1. For the coffee lover – Reusable coffee cup

If dad can’t start his day without a morning cup of coffee, then this eco-friendly coffee cup is the perfect Father’s Day gift. Made from natural, sustainable bamboo fibre, these eco-cups are designed to be washed and reused for an on-the-go coffee fix without the waste. By helping dad trade in his daily takeaway coffee, you are doing your part in helping the environment. Disposable paper cups contain 5% polyurethane plastic, and with half a trillion cups manufactured around the world every year and 99% of them not being recycled or composted, this causes a huge demand on landfill and a significant impact on our environment. Reusable, eco-friendly ‘keep cups’ such as the ecoffee cup is the perfect sustainable solution. Coming in a range of gorgeous patterns and colours, your father, husband, brother, or in law will have their very own personalised coffee cup that they can fill and take on their way to work or picking up the kids from school.

2. For the man who loves to be pampered – Organic skincare

Being a busy dad leaves little time to indulge. Help your father or loved one feel pampered this Father’s Day by gifting him with organic skincare products. Made from natural products derived from plants, these green beauty buys not only nourish and protect your skin but are environmentally responsible too. For a decadent on-the-go freshen up, an organic do-it-all cleanser will have him feeling and looking refreshed. Another great eco-friendly gift idea is a leave-in conditioner.

3. For the working dad – Eco friendly notebook & pen
