Father's Day always seems to be an event that quickly creeps up on us and leaves us scrambling to find the perfect gift or card for Dad! If you're also looking to shop ethically, this can take a bit of research to find a gift he will love, but something that you feel right about purchasing. That's why we've put together this ethical father's day gift guide for you, so you can make good choices with your dollars!
1. A New Wallet
This is one of the most common Father's Day gifts so check with the rest of your family that they haven't bought one or that it wasn't last years gift. Choose between a classic tanned colour or spice things up with this olive colour. These vegan leather Men's wallets are made from PU or PVC material and eco-conscious fabrics. All linings are made of 100% recycled bottles!
2. Reusable Safety Razor
Depending on his age, chances are, your dad has used a reusable razor before and forgotten how cool they are! Everything old is new again, right? Our Green + Kind Reusable Safety Razors are made from Brass and Zinc Alloy so they're quite sturdy, give a very close shave and don't take up space in your bathroom like some electric razors. Make sure to include a pack of razors blades and a good bar of soap to go along with this plastic-free gift!
