5 Good Ideas for Gifts for Father's Day

Father’s Day is coming around on Sunday 20 June and as I have just written a little Instagram post about World Environment Day, I realised the least I could do was put my two pence in on some green, natural and/or socially conscientious ideas! New parents barely have the space to even think about partners or their own parents so let’s see how our top 5 measures up!

1) Scented Natural Fire Lighters
Working on a slightly sexist premise that dads and BBQs are practically synonymous, we loved the sound of these eco-friendly firelighters! £12.99 for 12 from Protect the Planet.

2. Safety Razor
These razors look like a great alternative to single-use plastic razors! Available in either a bamboo (£19.95) or rose gold (£21.99) handle they provide a close shave for men…and women! Available from The Green Turtle. 

3. Criminally Good Beer
Tap Social Movement is a craft brewery and hospitality social enterprise that creates employment and training opportunities for ex-offenders. For £15 you can get a pack of 6 pale ales with biodegradable ring holders from their online store. 

4. Weleda Shaving Cream
Well, we had to have another product for mum to borrow hehe! Weleda’s rich lathering shave cream uses almond extract, goats’ milk and pansy extract to give your skin the best conditions for a gentle, close shave. Also the 75ml bottle size is great for travel! Available for £12.50 from Weleda. 
 
6. Soda Deodorant Stick
Not sure how many dads will be pleased to get deodorant as a present generally speaking but they might be impressed when they find its a Ben & Anna Natural Deodorant! ! These are a vegan, cruelty free & aluminium free deodorant with no plastic or micro-plastic packaging! These are unisex deodorants, so again, not a bad one for mum to borrow! At £9.95 you can buy them from Ben & Anna. 

With a 16 month old toddler waking up at the crack of dawn during these bright summer mornings, I suspect all daddy really wants this year is a lie in and a nice cup of tea! He’ll have to wait another year for that though.
