If your dad cares about the environment as much as he cares about his car and morning coffee, then you should give him sustainable gifts this upcoming Father’s Day. Avoid the plastic-heavy stuff or wasteful packaging and go for something that is thoughtful, practical and eco-friendly.
Sustainable gifts aren’t just for trendy purposes anymore; they become a lifestyle to some. If you are looking for eco-friendly Father’s Day gift, there are many shops now in Singapore that offers practical, good-looking, and kind to the planet.
Whether he’s into gardening, coffee, fitness, or just trying to reduce waste, here are some great picks that say “thanks, Dad” without causing too much harm to the planet.
Reusable Coffee Cups or Tumblers
If your dad never starts the day without a cup of coffee in hand, a good-quality reusable coffee cup is a no-brainer. Go with stainless steel or bamboo fibre coffee mugs. What’s good about this product is some shops even offer a personalisation options to add their initials, names and short message for an extra heartwarming touch.
Plantable Gift Cards or Seed Kits
Switch your common Father’s Day card for a plantable version. These eco cards are made with seed paper so after he’s done reading your message, he can plant it and grow herbs or flowers. Genius, right?
If you want to go the extra mile, pair it with a small herb-growing kit or seed box so he can start his own small garden or can be added to his garden if he already have.
Eco Hampers with a Personal Touch
A customised hamper filled with organic snacks, sustainably sourced products, and reusable goodies is also a good option. Get some bamboo cutlery sets, fair-trade coffees, natural soaps, or honey jars.
At HoneySpree, you can even customise your hamper with personal messages. It’s thoughtful and waste-free, a win-win.
Stainless Steel Razors or Grooming Kits
If your dad still uses disposable razors, now’s the time to give him a reusable one. A sleek stainless steel safety razor is a total game-changer and much better for the planet than disposable plastics.
You can also add natural shaving soap, a bamboo brush, and maybe even a reusable compact toiletry bag. It will remind him to spend some time on self-care.
Upcycled or Handmade Accessories
You can also go for wallets, purses, keychains, or bags made from upcycled materials. It’s a gift that is both stylish, durable and sustainable. Many local makers in Singapore create items from recycled fabrics, tyres, and leather scraps.
Solar-Powered Gadgets
If your dad loves his gadgets and is into saving the planet, solar-powered gifts are a wise gift option. There are already many portable phone chargers, outdoor lanterns, and other solar-powered gadgets in the marketplace.
They’re not just practical and useful but also energy-efficient, perfect for dads who like being outdoors or going off-grid.
