[[ 4 Green Giſt Ideas for Father’s Day
1
1. Earth Friendly Camping Gear If your dad is the rustic type, and enjoys camping trips, hiking, and sleeping under the stars, then we have just the gift idea for him- eco camping gear! There are a variety of sleeping bags, tents, and outdoor gear that are made from recycled material. Team that up with some eco-friendly cookware, a water bottle, and utensils, and your dad will be set for a truly green trek into the woods. 2. Reusable Stainless Steel Lunch Kit This gift idea is practical and cost effective for the dad in your life. There is nothing worse than using plastic tupperware for lunch. Plastic can often leach into your food, and nobody wants that!

3. Healthy snack gift bag Depending on whether your dad is a salty or sweet kinda guy, you can cater his snack bag accordingly. If he is into sweets, then stock up on a variety of organic dried fruits, just be sure to read the label, the only ingredient should be the fruit and nothing else. Another alternative is to bake him some healthy cookies. Check out our gluten free cookie recipe on page 2, made with coconut oil and quinoa flour! If he is into
salty foods try and get him healthy crackers, pickled vegetables, smoked salmon and a few cheeses. These items are usually always available at farmer’s markets, so be sure to check one out near you. 4. Flowers Yes, we said Flowers! If the dad in your life appreciates nature, then he is sure to love some fresh flowers or a plant to liven up his home or office space. So, what kind of flowers should you consider this Father’s Day? How about fresh-cut, spring flowers for that lucky dad on your list? Carnations, Irises, Hydrangeas, Sunflowers and Tulips are beautiful and low maintenance. Buy or pick a few of each and make your own bouquet for dad.
