Three Eco Friendly Father's Day Gifts and Ideas

Ann Siper
Dad will flip over these ideas for eco friendly Father's Day gifts. Skip giving Dad yet another tie this year and opt instead for some fun and current eco friendly Father's Day gifts that he can use for years to come.

Here are 3 ideas for eco friendly Father's Day gift ideas:

Eco Friendly Father's Day Gifts #1: Bamboo Tie Rack

A bamboo tie rack is an awesome gift for any dad who has a ton of ties he has to wear to work. Bamboo is one of the most eco friendly materials on earth. It replaces itself quickly, so harvesting it does not deplete the resources.

You can find bamboo tie racks at local stores like The Container Store, Bed Bath and Beyond, and honestly almost any store with closet storage. I even find these in the shelf section at The home Depot.

Check out bamboo wood hangers for Dad's suits as well while you are at it.

Eco Friendly Father's Day Gifts #2: Eco Friendly Man Bags

OK, messenger bags or man bags, which ever you want to call it! Messenger bags are made out of tons of materials and can be found at almost any major department store as well as online.

For a modern twist to the handy messenger age why not buy a pre made messenger bag in an eco friendly recycled material. The kids can leave this as it or paint some fun details on it for Dad.

Try having the kids dip their hands in fabric paint and stamp the inside of the front flap. This way Dad looks sleek on the surface, but can get a quick reminder of the kids every time he opens the bag.

Eco Friendly Father's Day Gifts #3: Recycled Cotton Work Shirts

Dads do love clothes and think how trendy he will be in a dress shirt or work shirt made out of 100 percent recycled cotton or other materials. You can find these readily online and not have to spend a ton of time searching your town for them.

If you do live in a large city like New York City, Chicago, or even LA you can probably find local vendors that sell eco friendly shirts and work clothes of all sorts. If not though, a quick search only will yield amazing results. Be sure to let Dad know his shirt is eco friendly so he can brag to everyone at work about what a great gift the kids got him!
