The “Who’s Your Daddy?” Father’s Day Gift Guide
Date: June 16, 2009 | Category: Events, Holiday & Gift, Lifestyle, ecoMan

He’ll always be the number one man in your life… and the number one hardest person to shop for! Father’s Day is right around the corner so we’ve got your fail-proof guide to gifting for each type of Dad in town.
Here are the top picks for shopping for Dad in ecofabulous style!
For the Gadget Guru:
A hybrid charger that takes power from the sun or the wall, a handheld Solio charger means Dad will never be without juice for all his techie toys. For an extra touch, personalize it by having Eco Imprints engrave the front with a special message. Or to harness both wind and solar power, the HYmini is the newest in portable green power - Dad can even attach it to his bike to charge up! |
|
For the Rocker:
Dad will love rockin’ out on this guitar made out of environmentally safe bamboo. But if you’re on a budget, this set of 6 coasters made from original LP records ($16.95) will have him taking a trip down memory lane for a fraction of the price. |
|
For the Camping Master:
The Timberland Earthkeepers boots are for the rugged outdoor lover that wants to tread with a lighter footprint (PVC-free, with recycled content in both the lining and sole). A waterproof Brunton SolarRoll will allow Dad to head out on any voyage fully charged, whether by land or by sea! |
|
For Mr. Fix It:
At only $20, these multi-purpose gloves are perfect for the household handyman - and each pair saves one 8 oz. bottle from being sent to the landfill! If he’s ready to get his hands dirty, throw in a Thermal Leak Detector to get him started on a weekend chore that’ll cut down on your energy usage. |
For the Skater Dad:
For the hip guy that never wanted to grow up! Now he can “hit the boardroom with his favorite board.” Made of broken skateboards, these recycled skateboard cufflinks will make him the talk of the office. |
|
For the Sports Star:
Just in time for summer, this fair trade and eco-certified volleyball will add a little flair to any backyard BBQ! |
|
Paternal Pampering:
For the over-worked Dad, surprise him with a plush organic cotton terry velour robe from Coyuchi. Add a few products from Herban Cowboy’s line of vegan certified organic grooming products to completely spoil him. |
|
For the Wine Connoisseur:
Buy Dad a bottle from one of Napa’s finest wineries, CADE (on track to receiving a LEED Gold certification), then add the Theo chocolate wine pairing kit, which includes 5 organic chocolate bars selected for their “flavor balance and compatibility” with wine. Throw in the six-pack wine rack made out of industrial felt (with 85% factory excess wool) to truly complete the package. |
|
For the Gourmet Chef:
Give your kitchen king a gourmet salt bouquet from Forty Oaks Farm - with six different flavors of 100% organic certified sea salt harvested off the island of Moloka’i. He’ll be in culinary heaven (and so will you!). |
