Eco-friendly Vegan Gifts for Father’s Day
We’re all trying to shop more sustainably for ourselves, but what about when we buy gifts? With Father’s Day coming up soon, I had been looking for something for my dad that he would like, but that would also be eco-friendly and vegan. It can be difficult to buy sustainable gifts for other people as you have to try and think of something they don’t already have, and something that they’ll get a lot of use out of.
I’ve spent some time putting some ideas together to help you out if you’re in a similar situation! So, if you’ve been looking for a gift for Father’s Day that’s environmentally friendly, and vegan, take a look at these ideas…
The Classic
You can never go wrong with a classic wallet for Father’s Day, especially if it’s a luxury vegan one from Watson & Wolfe. This Card Wallet with Notes Pocket** has seven pockets and a compartment for notes, and has been individually handmade with high quality, corn-based vegan eco-leather. The woven lining has been made using 100% recycled plastic bottles, using 94% less water, 60% less energy and 32% less CO2 to manufacture than virgin polyester. My favourite part of this wallet is that you can personalise them with initials, so it really makes it a special gift for your dad.
I was kindly gifted this wallet and got my dad’s initials added to it, can’t wait to give it to him on Father’s Day! Watson & Wolfe were the first UK brand to produce a range of luxurious vegan accessories for men, including wallets, washbags, belts, passport holders and more!
Price: £45
The Eco Hero
Even if your dad is still working from home, a reusable lunchbox is a great gift for your dad for storing those sustainable lunch time treats every day, and perfect for taking on picnics or trips to the beach!
The Chowie lunchbox available through the Wearth London website is made from fully recyclable wheat fibre and comes complete with fork + spoon. It also has a rubber vacuum seal to keep food fresh and prevent those annoying leakages.
Price: £12.24
The Fashionista
If you’re anything like me, you’re probably constantly encouraging your dad to update his wardrobe! I love the idea of getting your dad some new clothes or shoes for Father’s Day, he’ll be more likely to wear them if they’re from you and it may even inspire him to try out some new styles.
These R-Kind Unisex Vegan Leather Trainers from Ration.L are available through the Immaculate Vegan* website and come in a range of colours. They use certified non-toxic (solvent-free) PU for the upper and organic cotton in the lining. This simple but modern style goes so well with trousers, jeans or shorts, so your dad can get a lot of use out of them for years!
Price: £70
The Adventurer
Got a dad that’s always looking for the next adventure? A backpack is the ideal gift for them this Father’s Day, and a sustainable one is even better! Tentree offer a brilliant range of backpacks for both women and men, and their Brooklyn Backpack is perfect for so many different uses. From hikes up a mountain to rush hour in the city, this backpack is prepared for anything, and your dad will be too.
Made with 100% Repreve polyester, using reclaimed plastic bottles recycled into material, and uses no animal materials. Tentree products are ethically made in Vietnam and they plant 10 trees for every backpack sold!
