Use this Father's Day to get Dad into sustainability

We know that it’s not easy to shop ethically. That’s why we have compiled a bunch of good brands we know your dad will love.

This year, swap novelty gifts for dad for ethical stuff with a positive impact. This way, you can get two gifts for Dad, for the price of one.

Swap plastic-covered bathroom products, for shampoo, conditioner and shaving bars.

Friendly Soap’s Shaving Bar selection.

Is Dad still trying to pull off that lockdown beard? A Friendly Soap Shaving bar would make the perfect hint. 

Friendly Soap have an amazing selection of soaps and skin-care products that are cruelty-free, made by people paid a living wage, and all free from plastics, preservatives and sulfates. 

Use our discount code to get a cheeky 15% off your gift. You shouldn’t have to just treat dad this Father’s Day. It’s: gf15

Pair with this plastic-free razor from &Keep for the perfect eco-gift set.

Swap plastic phone cases, for biodegradable phone cases.

If your dad is as clumsy as some of us here at Goodfind (we aren’t going to name names...) treat him to a Pela phone case.

They aren’t just plastic free, they’re 100% compostable... so when he’s ready to upgrade, just throw that case in the compost pot. 

Swap that greenwashing clothing brand *cough* H&M *cough*, for ethical fashion.

Brothers We Stand T-shirts.

It’s about time Dad spruced up his wardrobe, don’t you think? Brothers We Stand has an awesome range of t-shirts, all made in local factories, by workers that are paid fairly. So, dad won’t just look cool, he’ll actually be cool... Well, he will to us at least.

To celebrate dads, Brothers We Stand are offering 10% off with the discount code: FAIRFATHERS10. 

Swap novelty dad slippers for sustainable shoes.

We’re sorry but, nobody needs another pair of novelty slippers that get worn for a few gags and then left in the shoe cupboard before being thrown out the year later.

Instead, get Dad some shoes he’ll actually wear, and bring him closer to nature at the same time with Vivobarefoot’s ultra-light, regenerative footwear.

Maybe he will even forget to take them off... finally, no more dad toenails.

Pair with some socks from Leiho, which are made from bamboo fibres. With each pair purchased, Leiho gives one pair to someone in need. 

Swap over-priced, take-away coffee, for something that makes a difference.

Since the lockdown lots of coffee shops have stopped accepting reusable cups... we totally get it, but it’s really cramping our eco-style. Get Dad some great coffee he can brew from home.

You can tailor it exactly to his preference, by picking the size and grind, which will be paired with the perfect roast.

Join their subscription service and your dad will receive his coffee on the first of the month, every month.

Whatever kind of dad you are celebrating this Father’s Day, we’ve got you covered. Check out our Father’s Day gift guide for more ideas on how to shop consciously this father’s day.
