Top 5 eco-friendly gifts for dads

Before you read this article you should know two things. Firstly, I am a dad. Secondly, I love getting presents. I am therefore an authority on the subject!

Have a read to see what we think the best buys are this Christmas for all the other green Dads out there. OK you guessed it, this is in fact my wish list (so I hope my family are reading)!

Here goes, my top 5 eco-friendly gifts for dad this Christmas.

5: Recycled Circuit Board Business Card Holder

A guaranteed ice breaker at your dad’s business meetings, this card holder is made from recycled circuit board. Topped off with a chrome case, this is sure to impress your dad’s clients, but more importantly, Dad himself.

2. Hats and Scarves

Woolly hats and scarves cease to be clichéd Christmas prezzies when they look as good as these fine specimens from Seasalt. Choose from a variety of lambswool hats and scarves, mix and match to keep dad warm over the cold months.

1: Classic Album Cover Notebook

100% recycled, very cool looking notebook, with classic album covers on the front, and tracklisting on the back. There are a number of designs, but my favourites are The Who, and of course, Blondie (pictured). Go the whole hog and get Ethical Superstore to gift wrap it for you.
