Have an 'ecologically sound' fathers day

With Father's Day just round the corner (15 June), it's time to start thinking what this special man might wish for.

Why not go green this year and show him what he's been missing out on in the world of eco-friendly gifts and gadgets? Whether he loves to kick a football in a park or is a whizz in the kitchen, Nigel's Eco Store has something for the eco dad in your life

Football fan?
If your dad likes a good run around with a football, why not surprise him with an eco friendly ball to kick about. The Greenstar football is made entirely from FSC certified rubber which makes it well suited for street football as well as a traditional grass pitch. And because this football is Fairtrade, your dad can play safe in the knowledge that the rubber tappers and ball stitchers are paid properly.

Literally the 'coolest' footwear on the beach this year - bio-degradable flip-flops which can be composted when you've finished with them.

If he just likes to watch the game on a Sunday afternoon, treat him to our stylish and unique Grolsch glasses made from the iconic 450ml swing top Grolsch beer bottle, so he can enjoy a glass of beer when his favourite football club is playing.

Eco fashonista
Give your dad a wardrobe boost with our high quality 100% organic cotton T-shirts . The T-shirts mix ethical sourcing with a great design so if your dad likes bold, original and sweatshop-free fashion, surprise him with one of those.

And for added feel good factor, why not add these eco friendly 100% FSC-certified flip flops that can be composted at the end of their life! They're fairtrade, comfortable, and perfect for holidays, the beach or for keeping feet cool in the summer heat. Made from latex rubber, these flip flops have a strong sole and contain no animal glues, PVC or EVA.

Kitchen express
For dads who love to cook , Beanpods make a great gift. He will be able to grow a herb garden from scratch with these elegant mini plant-propagators, enabling him to enjoy a fresh supply of herbs all year round. Available in Parsley, Basil and Chives, these cool little creations are a must-have for any kitchen.

And for those messy, tomato sauce moments, your dad will adore our witty, Fairtrade apron, made from recycled tomato sauce packets.

Gadget Lover?
Get your dad enjoying windy days. Stylish in appearance but rugged in performance, the HYmini is a small, lightweight and portable wind power generator ideal for charging mobile phones, cameras and most portable electronic devices. It's a must for festivals, outdoor life, camping and in fact anywhere that you go. It'll constantly gather energy from either a light breeze to a strong wind.

As an alternative to HYmini, make sure your dad has one of our our solar chargers handy when the Sun is shining . The FreeLoader for example is an advanced portable charging system that can power any hand held device - once charged, it can power an iPod for 18hours, a mobile phone for 44 hours, a PSP for 2.5 hours, a PDA for 22 hours and much much more.

A festival "must have" item.

Something for a bookworm
Get your Dad thinking about how he can make a positive difference to the environment with How to live a low carbon life. This book is a comprehensive, one-stop reference guide to calculating individual carbon emissions and it lays out clear plans for how individuals can reduce their emissions. It covers all aspects of modern life from transport to home heating, where our food comes from, and holiday travel, and it shows how to conduct a personal lifestyle 'carbon audit'.

Buy a 100% recycled handmade Card Bookmark to go with it.
