*Special Post* Father's Day Gift Ideas!

Father's Day Gift Ideas!

Let's face it, whenever you ask Dad what he wants for Father's Day, he always says that he doesn't "need" anything. That's fine, Dad, no one really NEEDS anything, but we all want to show our appreciation. And if you knew your daughter, you would know that she likes to find any excuse to shop (hehe). So, as a compromise, we'll just get you a little something that's also good for the earth (and humanity) too!

So here's to Dad (the humble, low-maintenance person that he is) and to another excuse to shop and buy something that's charitable and eco-friendly!

Reminder: Father's Day is this Sunday (June 16).

I hope you enjoy this very special Father's Day list of sustainable and eco-friendly gift ideas. I tried to include suggestions for all types of dads (sporty, stylish, outdoorsy, to name a few). Check it out:
