New dads usually have three things on their mind: sleep, sleep, and how to get more sleep. So what better time than Father’s Day to implement a divergence into the sleep thought pattern? The best way to do this, of course, is to shower your new dad with the coolest eco-gifts this side of consciousness. And we’ve got some the items for you!
This organic dark chocolate baby carrier is the perfect accessory for the mobile dad. It is made from 100% organic cotton and organic poplin. This means that it is free of harsh chemicals, which is good for baby and daddy!
You know that awesome diaper bag you got at your shower – you know, the purple one with flowers stitched into it? Odds are your husband is going to love carrying that diaper bag as much as he loves holding your purse when you shop. So get him this cool diaper backpack made from 100% organic cotton.
You know the new dad tradition of handing out cigars when baby is born? Yeah, we don’t like it either. (Nothing says congratulations like carcinogenic smoke.) So give your new dad these chocolate cigars to enjoy instead. Okay, maybe they aren’t fair trade organic, but at least they won’t kill him or you!
Nothing helps sleep deprivation like….sleep? Nah, try load and load of coffee! And some of the greenest coffee you can find is from Green Mountain Coffee. Offering great gift packs, these organic, fair trade coffees get a four out of four leaf rating from Greenopia.
Need something to show off the 100 million pictures of baby? These photo frames are made from recycled roofing slate. Seriously, the tiles are salvaged from Vermont barns. How cool is that?
And how to take these pictures? The Olympus Digital SLR Eco Camera features a recycled eco-glass lens and is made without toxic metals such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic. (Which is great if camera somehow ends up in baby’s hands.) It also ships in eco-friendly packaging.
Any daddy worth his diaper-changing skills is going to melt over this adorable onesie. It is made from 100% organic cotton. And if “I Love Daddy” isn’t cute enough for you, don’t miss “Daddy’s Little Girl” or “Daddy’s Little Green Grocer.”
New dad Derek Mast lives the green life. So for his first Father’s Day, his wife gave this self-professed “girlie daddy” a coveted gift – the Organic Lip Treatment from EO. This certified organic lip balm is made from safflower and sweet almond oil.
