Father’s Day Inspiration

Father’s Day is almost upon us (17th June if you weren’t sure!) and we’ve got some great gift ideas for you to show your Dad how much you love him! Whatever his interests and your budget we’ve got the perfect fair trade gift for him…

For the chef…

Does your dad love spending time in the kitchen? Come and browse our great range of sauces, chutneys and spice mixes as well as organic and fair trade Palestinian olive oil. Our stylish, wooden utensils are a pleasure to use and the small sized chopping board is perfect when he only wants to slice a lemon for his G&T!!

For the gardener…

For the green fingered man, why not give him something a bit different for the garden? Good Taste director Rob Coleman, was thrilled last year when one of his daughters surprised him with a block of fair trade compost! Certainly up there in first place for the ‘most original father’s day gift’ prize!!

For the coffee drinker…

We’ve got a fantastic selection of fair trade coffee to choose from. The Machu Picchu Blend from Cafe Direct is a customer favourite, when combined with a bamboo reusable cup and bar of Seed and Bean Espresso chocolate, creates the perfect gift for any coffee connoisseur.

 For the chocoholic…

It’s a hard decision when the choice of delicious fair trade chocolate is this great! Our current top 3 bars are: Traidcraft Marzipan and Orange Liquor, Seed and Bean Dark Chocolate with Aromatic Fennel and Eat Your Hat Milk Chocolate with Cardamom. Or the Divine chocolate tasting set is perfect for even the most indecisive of shoppers!

For the groomed man…

Does your dad deserve a bit of pampering this year?  For father’s day this year why not treat him to to the Onyx range from Carishea cosmetics. You can choose from hand and body wash, handcrafted soap and moisturising aftershave, all are kind to skin, the environment and the producer. Or grab a bargain gift with the now reduced fair trade barber soap and balm from Honeystreet Handmade!

 

For the traveller…

Does your dad like to travel? Our new gloriously soft leather wallets and I-pad cases are an extra special gift for an extra special man.  Or why not combine a leather luggage tag with two train tickets to somewhere exciting for a bit of one on one time with your favourite man?

For the cycling enthusiast…

Chances are, if your dad’s a Sheffield local he’ll enjoy a spot of cycling! Choose from our selection of interesting gifts made out of recycled bike chains! The wine rack is our personal favourite, but we also love the photograph frames and book ends! And of course no bike lovers wardrobe is complete without a pair of bicycle print bamboo socks!!

We hope we’ve provided you with a bit of gift inspiration and look forward to welcoming you in to the shop and helping you to choose the perfect gift for your dad this year. Don’t forget that all our products are carefully and ethically selected, so when you choose to buy your dad a gift from us your directly supporting fathers (and mothers!) around the world provide for their families in a dignified and safe manner.

P.S. Don’t forget to grab a Father’s day card too while you’re in! Our selection is fantastic and sure to sell out!
