Ahead of Father’s Day (18 June), My Green Pod Hero Tree2mydoor has compiled
a green and ethical gift guide for dads, to suit all personalities and budgets.
Take some inspiration from the suggestions below, and don’t forget that the greatest gifts are often those that money can’t buy.
Time together and thoughtful acts can be the gifts that last a lifetime as happy memories for you and your dad.
The Olive Tree Gift, £39
Bring the sunny Mediterranean vibes to your dad’s doorstep with this beautiful olive tree gift. Perfect for summer gifting, the evergreen olive tree brings year-round beauty and a unique touch to any outdoor space.
It is also known for being incredibly low maintenance and hardy in the UK climate – so if you’re not convinced about your dad’s gardening ability or he’s taking off on holiday this summer, this gift is a perfect option. It’s drought tolerant, so will be happy if only watered once a week.
Avallen calvados, £36
If you’re looking for the perfect sustainably minded gift this Father’s Day, then look no further – Avallen calvados is a pure and delicious drink that delivers a positive impact for biodiversity.
From the heart of La Manche, this all-natural apple brandy – now in a pioneering paper bottle – is aged in French oak casks to create a delightfully refreshing drink with a crisp finish.
Its nose gives off fresh apples coupled with floral honeysuckle aromas, leading into a toffee apple finish with a richly warming hint of vanilla custard finish.
Each sale helps to protect wild bee populations.
Special Dad Rose Bush Gift, £30
Say Happy Father’s Day with the Special Dad Rose Bush – a one-of-a-kind gift designed to show your dad just how much you care.
This stunning red rose bush blooms every summer at the perfect time for Father’s Day and is a perfect way to remind your dad how special you think he is.
To top it off, the Special Dad Rose Bush requires little maintenance and care, making it perfect for new gardeners – or those with busy schedules!
Tree Planting Subscription, from £2/month
This Tree Planting Subscription from TreeSisters is the perfect way to give back to the planet and make an impact that will last well beyond Father’s Day.
The subscription helps to fund the replanting of trees in areas all round the world – from the forest corridors of Brazil and mangrove forests of Madagascar to agricultural lands in India, Nepal and more.
Your dad will get to feel proud knowing they have made a difference that will last far beyond his lifetime.
Mini Calamondin Tree Gift, £49
The Mini Calamondin is a unique and sustainable gift for those looking for something special.
This miniature variety of calamondin tree is perfect for the home, adding striking colours of dark green and bright orange, plus a citrusy aroma – all without taking up too much space.
Its size makes this plant the perfect fit for balconies, patios, porches and sun rooms. This gift is very manageable – your dad won’t have to worry about pruning or heavy maintenance, but can still enjoy growing his own incredibly delicious and zesty calamondin!
