Eco-Friendly Father’s Day Gift Ideas
↣ Father’s day letterpress card printed on an antique printing press using 100% recycled cotton tree free paper. Designed & hand crafted in Brisbane. $7.95 Get it here.
↣ Alter Eco dark chocolate with sweet pastured butter and celtic sea salt – a bar to melt over. Organically grown, fair trade, GMO-free, gluten free. 70% cocoa, 80g bar. $5.95. Get it here. (Buy one for yourself while you’re at it!)
↣ We go through so many water bottles in this house – it’s outrageous. The Mr is well overdue a new one and we like Kleen Kanteen, made from BPA-free, food-grade stainless steel. $26.95. Get it here.
↣ Dr Beegood’s tattoo preserver is rich in Tasmania’s leatherwood beeswax, honey and moisturising plant oils to help protect, soothe and heal your tattooed skin. 100% natural, safe and gentle. Handmade in Tasmania by Beauty & the Bees. 40ml tin. $23.50. Get it here. Will most probably be used by me as he doesn’t bother putting anything on tattoos, most of the time. Crazy.
↣ We used to play Finska in the lovely Queensland summer sun, so hopefully Melbourne plays along this year. Based on the ancient log throwing games from Finland, I still haven’t got the hang of it yet. $75. Get it here.
↣ I’ve been dying to get the Mad Millie specialty cheese kits ever since I saw one in the shops. The boxes contain everything for the intermediate cheesemaker to create gourmet specialty cheeses at home (even vegetarian rennet! Double thumbs up). Includes reusable equipment and quality ingredients that are free from artificial flavours and preservatives. $135. Get it here.
↣ Another thing we don’t have enough of – Keep Cup Brew limited edition is a tempered glass reusable coffee cup with a cork band that is beautiful to hold, antibacterial and insulates your hand from heat. $30. Get it here.
↣ I’ve never heard of Beer shampoo, but apparently it’s very conditioning, especially good for dry hair, little hair, flaky scalps and dandruff. Ultra-convenient, shampoo bar no fuss hair care loved by all who try it. I think it would be rad 125g bar. $11.50. Get it here.
There aren’t many weekdays until liftoff, so make sure you get your orders in toot sweet – although Biome provide the option of express (next day delivery) shipping if you get your orders in by noon Mon-Fri, which should help you out if you find yourself in the “last minute” category! *cough cough* me.
Do you already have Father’s Day sorted?
Fantastic eco friendly ideas VM. I’d fancy one of those water bottles myself. My eighty year old Dad is a vegetarian and makes his own yogurt. I reckon you’ve just given me a bloody fantastic idea with that cheese maker! I’m on to it.
Ah I wish I was at your dad’s when that cheese is finished! Yummo.
I love the idea of beer shampoo! And my hubby has two Kleen Kanteen flasks, one small and one WHOPPER! I’ll probably get my dad the usual – scorched almonds!
I bought my dad chocolate-covered almonds once, because I remembered he liked them. Turns out he was on a diet 🙁
As long as the beer shampoo doesn’t actually smell like beer, I’m all over it!
Beer shampoo and water bottles sound great. And tattoo preserver! Fab idea …
Something a little bit different, eh?!
Tell her to give it back!
Funny enough I did last night! It looks like quite the little science experiment. She’ll wanna eat it no doubt. Haha! Bit stuck as where to buy unhomogenised milk though……eek!
Unhomogenised is usually organic – they will say it on the label (some are still homogenised). Try there!
