Father’s Day gifts with positive impact for 2023

Have you started thinking about Father’s Day gifts yet? It’s coming up on Sunday 18th June, but don’t stress if it’s not crossed your mind yet – our new ethical gift guide should make your search for the perfect present a piece of cake.

Whether your dad (or whoever else you celebrate on the day) is easily pleased with a good box of chocolates and fresh pair of socks, or is trickier to buy for – we’ve got you covered with gift ideas for all tastes and interests. 

And even if – in typical dad fashion – he’s told you not to get him anything this year, you have the extra excuse of treating him to something from this selection. Because these Father’s Day gifts are made by social enterprises, meaning each and every one is good for people, the planet or both. 

Father’s Day gifts with a touch of style

The Torpedo Cufflinks by Elvis & Kresse

Classy meets eco-conscious in the Elvis & Kresse range. They create luxury accessories from decommissioned London fire hoses and rescued recycled leather, like these cufflinks. On top of the sustainable craftsmanship, these give back to The Fire Fighters Charity for extra impact. 

Harry Kane Socks by Stand4 Socks

For the dads who never miss an England game, kit them out with some new lucky socks inspired by our top-scoring striker. These do more than celebrate Harry Kane, though. For every set they sell, Stand4 Socks donates an extra durable pair of socks to a person experiencing homelessness. It’s a hard-to-come-by luxury that can make all the difference to someone. 

Gifts for active dads

The Geo Joes by Mangata London

Are they happiest hanging out on the beach or by the pool? Add to their swimwear collection with help from Mangata London, who make sustainable shorts in funky prints like The Geo Jones. They’ll enjoy bragging about how these were once plastic bottles, crafted using 70% less carbon than the average pair. 

The Yogi Package by CorkYogis

Set them up for their best yoga practice yet with this mat, block and grip spray gift set. CorkYogis’ use sustainable cork in their products, a material that naturally has great grippiness and self-cleaning properties. Through a charity partnership with the Destiny Reflection Foundation, the brand also helps connect survivors of human trafficking with training and job opportunities. 

Gifts for dads on the go

Wash Bag by Elvis & Kresse

Another example of Elvis & Kresse’s beautiful upcycling, this time lined with recycled parachute silk too. Made to last, it will be accompanying them on trips for decades to come.

 

Laptop Case by Elephant Branded

From London fire hoses to rice bags in Cambodia, there’s more creative upcycling happening over at Elephant Branded. This laptop case is ideal for commuters with a socially conscious heart – the brand delivers a school note book to kids in Asia and Africa for each one sold. 

Gifts for toasting and tasting with Dad

Wine and Nibbles Gift Set

Say “cheers” to Dad and the marine-friendly mission of Sea Change wines with this gift set. The Sauvignon Blanc and Malbec each help fund conservation projects in our oceans, while the packaging is totally plastic free. We’ve got excellent wine snacks at the ready too: all that’s missing is Dad’s favourite cheese to go with the Island Bakery organic oatcakes and Rubies in the Rubble relish.

Best Sellers Pack by Tap Social Movement

Love cracking open a few cans together? Make it an extra special affair for Father’s Day with Tap Social Movement. The brewery trains ex-offenders in the beer-making process, giving them invaluable work experience that helps stop the cycle of re-offending. Enjoy a mini beer tasting with the IPA, lager and stout in this gift pack. 

FAIR Belize Rum

If they take pride in their spirits cabinet, here’s one for them. FAIR’s Belize Rum is smooth and refined, with notes of chocolate, coffee and bananas. Exceptional flavours are matched by an exceptional approach to the craft of distilling drinks and respect for the people involved. They source superior Fairtrade ingredients and pay farmers the fee they deserve. 

The Chocolate Lover Gift Box

Why give one type of chocolate when you can give seven? Make it social enterprise chocolate and you’ve got an epic, ethical gift for sweet-toothed dads. From creamy hot chocolates to an 80% cocoa bar that plants trees by Chocolate and Love, it’s destined to go down a treat.
