15 Ethical and Eco-Friendly Father’s Day Gifts

The words shopping and my dad can’t be found in the same sentence. My mom has been in charge of helping him get new clothes all my life. If your dad is also like this or he loves fashion and puts a lot of stock into his appearance, he’ll love these shoes.

The shoes are handcrafted with genuine full-grain leather on a 4-inch shaft. They look stylish and can pass as everyday shoes or for a more elegant occasion.

The handcrafted leather and the square toe profile make them extremely comfortable. There’s no need to break them in, and your dad will feel good even after wearing them all day long.

The shoes are oil and slip-resistant due to molded rubber outsoles with 1.5-inch block heel, which prevents skidding or falling on slippery surfaces.

Why is it eco-friendly? It’s handcrafted from upcycled materials and genuine leather. The shoes are part of the company's effort to make a positive impact on the planet.

If I had to decide who drinks more coffee between my parents, I would be hard-pressed to answer. If your dad is a tea or coffee lover, he’ll be thrilled with this all-beverage travel tumbler.

This flask is a combination of a tea infuser, coffee thermos, fruit water infuser, sports, water bottle, cold brew coffee maker, and more — no matter which drink your dad prefers, he’ll find a use for this tumbler.

It has a two-way filter, so there’s an option for brewing hot and cold tea, as well as cold-brewed coffee. The standard infuser has 1mm holes, while this infuser has .5mm, which results in a more refined brew.

Finally, the tumbler can hold 17 oz of liquid, which can last for hours.

Why is it eco-friendly? The tumbler is 100% BPA-free, non-toxic, and resistant to odors and corrosion. By using this tumbler every day instead of a disposable cup, your dad will save up to 23lbs of trash yearly.

Do you remember all the childhood trips with your dad constantly checking his watch and reminding everyone how much time there’s left before departure? 

Dads love watches, especially when they are unique such as this one.

This is an ultra-thin, 7.5mm, stainless steel case watch with a black walnut watchband. The nice color and wood grain dial make it suitable for all occasions.

Your dad will never take it off!

The quartz is Japan 2035 imported quartz movement, which is long-lasting. There’s a two-year guarantee. The watch comes with one link removing tool, so the wooden band is easily adjusted.

Why is it eco-friendly? It’s 100% eco-friendly as it’s made with black walnut. 

Next to a watch, every dad needs a wallet, and this cork wallet is sure to wow.

It has a slim design ( 4.5 x 3.7 x 0.5 inches), and it’s twice as light compared to a leather wallet. There are coin pockets, 2 bill compartments, and 6 card slots, so your dad can pack everything — coins, cards, receipts, and bill money. 

The wallet has RFID blocking materials, so all personal information is secure, and there’s no chance of electronic pickpocketing.

This makes the wallet a perfect traveling companion.

Finally, your dad will have a unique wallet. Due to the wood shaving method the wallet is made of, there are no two identical wallets. 

Why is it eco-friendly?

It’s handmade from 100% cork material. The wallet is non-toxic, made with high-quality leather, and environmentally friendly. 

Do you have a bearded man in your life? 

Then, this is the gift for them. This beard grooming kit contains a comb, bristle brush, trimming scissors, beard oil, and a beard balm.

It comes in a travel pouch, so all the kit items can be safely stored and easily packed when traveling.

The oil stimulates follicles and encourages hair to grow, and it should be applied nightly. The balm should be used in the morning to style the beard. Your dad will have a lustrous beard to show off.

My dad transferred his love of reading to me. If your dad is a bookworm as well, check out this kindle. 

It’s extremely thin, with a 6.8” display, thin borders, adjustable warm light, and an impressive 10 weeks of battery life. My dad always forgets to charge his devices, so this is a handy feature. 

There’s no need to fear the device will hurt his eyes — there’s a 300 PPI glare-free display and adjustable warm light that shifts from white to amber.

Your dad will feel like he’s reading real paper, even in bright sunlight.

I talked about a beard kit for dads who have or want a lustrous beard. Here’s something for dads who don’t want a beard — a razor.

This double edge razor will help your dad achieve a perfect shave. Thanks to the double-edges, it provides a smooth and professional shave with no ingrown hairs.

It’s made of stainless steel, so it’s extremely durable and guaranteed to last a lifetime. This will also help your dad save money. There’s no more need to buy razors, only the blades. 

The razor comes with a digital user manual, which can give your dad some useful tips on assembling and getting the best possible shave.

Next on the list of ethical Father’s Day gifts is a solar oven. 

This is an ultra-portable stove as it weighs just 2 pounds. Your dad can carry it with him when he goes camping, sailing, and pretty much on any adventure. It can be used both on land and at sea, all year-round.

The oven is extremely fast — it cooks a meal in only 20 minutes as it can reach the temperature of 500 degrees when in full sunlight.

It’s equipped with GoSun Sport which captures ultraviolet light and holds its heat.

The stove comes with a glass tube oven, 2 parabolic reflectors, a cooking tray, stabilizer stand, EVA frame, and a manual — everything your dad needs to start cooking is included.

Why is it eco-friendly?

It uses solar power to cook, and not electricity, wood, or fossil fuels.

Microgreens are the easiest and fastest way to get food — they go from seeds to superfood in only seven days. The sheer number of different growing kits on the market makes me really happy. 

The manufacturer analyzed every seed sprouting kit they came across to develop their own kit. It’s dishwasher-safe, and it comes in ceramic-feel bamboo sprout trays.

The trays are sturdy and durable, so your dad can use the kit for a long time. 

There’s no need for a lot of space or a big outdoor garden with this kit. It’s optimized for small indoor gardening. The kit includes everything your dad needs to start growing, including 12 mats, 2 growing trays and lids, and packets of plants.

Does your dad love to wind down with a glass of whiskey after a long day at work? 

Then get him these reusable whiskey stones this Father’s Day.

Whiskey stones are a better choice than ice because they don’t melt, which means there’s no diluting the whiskey, plus they have a longer cooling time.

The stones are easy to use. All your dad needs to do is place them in the freezer for as little as 4 hours, and they’ll be chilled. 2 to 3 stones are enough to cool the drink, and they can be washed in water and ready to use again.

The package includes 9 whiskey ice cubes, one tong, one wine stopper, and one velvet pouch for easy storing. 

Why is it eco-friendly?

The stones come in a wooden box and are reusable. 

Not every dad is a whiskey fan, and that’s alright. 

Here are reusable beer chiller sticks for beer drinking dads.

These sticks have long-lasting cooling properties and will keep the beer chilled for hours. 

The package contains two beer chiller sticks plus a bottle opener. It comes in a beautifully carved wooden gift box with soft royal blue fabric lining, so it looks expensive. Your dad will feel spoiled. 

The sticks should be chilled in the freezer, then placed in the beer, and pushed down to enable the tight silicone seal. After use, your dad can wash them and return them to the freezer until the next use.

Why is it eco-friendly?

The beer chillers are made from FDA-grade stainless steel, and the wood is FSC approved pinewood manufactured under license.

The roast profile of these reusable pods is dark roast 100% full-bodied Arabica coffee. The coffee has a silky texture and a sweet aroma with notes of toasted nuts.

The manufacturer only uses organic and fair trade coffee beans from premium growing regions. Once the coffee is sourced, it’s roasted in California. 

The pods are compatible with Keurig K-Cup brewers.

Why is it eco-friendly?
