Top 10 Eco Gifts and Gadgets for That Special Dad

With Father's Day right around the corner many of you might be looking for some last minute gifts for that special dad.  Well here are 10 Eco Gifts and Gadgets that will be sure to put a smile on his face.

Solar Bag/Backpack - For the father on the go, a solar bag/backpack would be the ideal eco gadget gift allowing him to use the sun to charge various items.

Solar Shaver - One of the more common gifts for Father's Day are grooming gifts such as shaving kits and beard trimmers.  So this year how about getting a Solar Shaver? Electronic shavers can soak up energy as they are usually charging on a dock, but this little shaver will easily save energy using the sun. Some might not feel it is practical indoors but is ideal for camping trips and vacations.

You can find this affordable shaver at Ethical Superstore

Make a Scrapbook/Frames - For those of you that are crafty a simple scrapbook with pictures over the last year or a handmade frame with a picture of children or grandchildren will be a big hit.

Solar Chargers for Mobile Devices - iPhones and other mobile devices are notorious for having terrible battery lives. So one way to save some extra money is with a solar charger that has USB ports to charge multiple devices.  There are also specialized solar cases for iPhones.

Energy Saving Remote Control - This All in One remote Control will help him save energy by controlling up to 4 devices and allowing him to switch them all off with the press of one button. The remote cuts power off right at the source, saving up to 90% of standby power consumption.

Eco Golf Balls and Tees - Golf balls take years to biodegrade and those that are hit off course, deep into the bushes, woods or into a water hazard will sit there for years. So Eco Golf balls can be an ideal gift for that dad that loves to golf. A pack of a dozen Earth Balls from Dixon will cost approximately $40 and a pack of 50 Earth Tees (made from biodegradable wheat) will cost around $6 via Amazon.

The cool thing about the Earth Tees is they will turn into fertilizing compost after biodegrading.

Wallet Made from Re-purposed Ties - Looking to get your dad a wallet how about a cool wallet made from old ties?

Clothes Made With Organic Materials - Shirts and Ties are very common Father's Day gifts, but there are plenty of companies offering organic/hemp clothing.  Eco Shoes are also another option for those dads that love to walk and hike. 

Fair Trade Organic Tea/Coffee - For that special dad that loves his coffee or tea, this year try giving him some Organic Fair Trade coffee or tea.

Make a Donation to His Favorite Charity in His Name - Some fathers say they do not want a gift but perhaps have a favorite charity that they donate or believe in. So make him feel better by making a donation in his name.
