Kinda bad at choosing gifts? Don’t worry – our ultimate eco friendly Father’s Day gift guide is here to help!
By Chiara Spagnoli Gabardi
Ladies and gentlemen, your attention please – this is a Public Service Announcement. It is my official duty to remind you that Fathers Day is coming up. I’m giving you more than a week’s notice, so it’s enough time to think of something good (at least something better than a multipack of socks, as I myself am guilty of).
While he may protest that he doesn’t need anything, the truth is everyone loves a thoughtful gift, no matter what day of the year it is. And doesn’t your dad deserve it? (I know mine, pictured with me below, does!)
Our Ultimate Eco Friendly Fathers Day Gift Guide has all the classic staples of any decent eco friendly Father’s Day gift guide, but with one significant difference: these products are noteworthy for their sustainability. Let the hurried gift hunt commence!

2. Recycled Hockey Stick Grilling Set
What happens when old hockey sticks need to die? They get reincarnated as grilling tools! I absolutely love this idea, and your sports-loving, BBQ genius of a dad will, too. Every set is 100% unique, given the recycled nature of the actual hockey sticks used as the handles for these tools.
The Recycled Hockey Stick Grilling Set is good for all seasons.

Do you and your dad have a favourite song? Whether it’s the first record you bought, a song you heard at a concert, or perhaps it’s just one you both share and love, why not turn it into a lifelong piece of art?
Artist Claudia Moldovan transforms the melody into a unique work of art that resembles the song’s soundwave. And the best part? It’s done with recycled wood!
This is the perfect gift, because you can choose the length of the song. Either buy a snippet (10 seconds), the chorus (around a minute) or the entire song (3.5 minutes), this will be a touching sentiment to buy for your dad or partner. The elegant wall sculpture is sure to be a conversation starter!
