For the adventurous dad
Perfect to grab for camping trips, long journeys or gym days, these hard-wearing water bottles also insulated to keep drinks hot for 12 hours, cold for 24 hours, and iced for 48 hours!
Made from recycled stainless steel, this water bottle funds sustainable solutions to global waste. Circular&Co. strive to make circular design the new standard. They design all their products from waste materials, and each is made to be recycled again at the end of its life. Stainless Steel 500ml Bottle, £26.95
For the playful one
The time is always right for a pirate adventure! This fiendish and strategic two-player game is a battle for the high seas. Race to raft together your wooden ship tiles, or sink - or scupper - four ships before your dad does!
The game is Fair Trade, plastic free and comes presented in this beautiful hand-crafted wooden treasure chest. The set up of the tiles is different every time so it only gets more competitive! Raft and Scupper, £32
Send a special message
Explore a selection of fun and colourful recycled cards that do Good Things - from planting trees to championing the work of artists with disabilities. It's easy to add a handwritten card to any of our Father's Day gifts too. We'll hand write your personal message and send the card with your gift, straight to your dad's door. Recycled cards from £2.99
For the globe-trotting dad
This stylish and hardwearing backpack is made from upcycled inner tubes and cement bags. Each backpack is slightly different thanks to the upcycled bag used to create the outer, but they're all made to an incredibly high standard, and each has a padded divider for your laptop, plus internal pockets and an external zip pocket.
Fair Trade certified and made in Cambodia where creating these bags provide work for 13 artisans. Hoxton backpack, £55
For the animal lover
We love these soft and sustainable socks that also help protect orangutans! Bare Kind creates gorgeous, high quality socks in a range of animal designs. Each pair helps an animal charity working to protect the animal featured on the sock. Orangutan animal socks, £9.50
For the competitive dad
Hedgeways is a luxury two-player strategy game that's sustainably made and very competitive! Enclose fields using your colourful 'hedge' tiles. Each time you enclose a field you get a point - but your hedges must be linked!
We love the way it's plastic-free and made using sustainable materials - check out the ingenious hinged wooden box! Hedgeways Strategy Game, £24
For the gardener
These wildflower seeds make a lovely gift for gardeners and nature-lovers. The gift set contains five packets of wildflower seeds, contained within a jute bag, with a bee gift tag. Each seed packet contains corncockle, corn chamomile, cornflower, corn marigold and corn poppy - between them they support 1,500 species of pollinating insect across the UK!
Made by and supporting Seed of Hope, who help people with mental health problems to change their lives through recovery-based therapeutic gardening. Wildflower Seed Gift Set, £10
For the organised dad
For the list-lover, artist or ideas guy, this stationery gift set is stylish and made from recycled and reclaimed materials. Better still, every gift set helps fund education projects around the world. Each set contains an A5 and A6 notebook, and a set of two pens made from recycled plastic bottles. Select from four seed designs and colours. Sucseed gift set, £22
Perfect for the (dis)organised dad, this stylish wallet will help him keep all his essentials in one place. Sustainably handmade from recycled inner tubes, this is a unique gift that’s extra hardwearing and water-resistant.
By buying this Fair Trade accredited gift, you’ll help provide living wages and training to the talented artisans with disabilities who handmake gifts like these in Cambodia. Trifold Recycled Wallet made from Inner Tubes, £22
For the food lover
Does dad love baking? How about beer? These chocolate chip beer biscuits are utterly delicious: crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. He’ll just need to mix some melted butter with some of his favourite beer – then bake!
Each bag is hand sewn by South African charity Deaf Hands at Work, with labels made from environmentally friendly paper. It’s then packed by women from the Ukama Community Foundation: an organisation that feeds up to 400 children a day by delivering food parcels. Chocolate Chip Beer Biscuits, £6.50
