Conscious & Ecofriendly Gifts for Dads & Grads

June is the month to celebrate the fathers that helped build us up and the graduates who are moving forward. Fortunately, more than ever before, the market is flooded with products that reflect your love as well as care for people and the environment.

Here’s a sampling from the ever-growing array of conscious & ecofriendly gifts for dads and grads that will inspire both your shopping and your heart:

1. For the Conscious Student or Executive, the Solar ProFolio is the modern alternative to the classic briefcase. This solar business bag will connect to cell phones, iPod, GPS or other 12-volt unit using your item’s car charger adapter. Now that’s power.

2. For those inspired dads and grads often found burning the midnight oil, immersed in the work or life’s passion, Badger’s Headache and Stress Balm helps soothe overworked or stressed minds. Made of all natural, organic ingredients.

3. For the grad moving out on her own, this Eco-Starter Kit will help green her new pad and save her up to $300 a year. Includes an energy monitor, CFL bulb, faucet aerators, outlet sealers, toilet leak detectors, window caulk, a soy candles and more!

4. If your grad loves jewelry, check out these necklaces made by a16 Year Old Liberian war survivor, refugee and designer, Lovetta Conto. Made of remnant bullet pieces from her native land, the profits serve to support other young people from the developing world either displaced or orphaned by war or other circumstance.

5. For the new or seasoned entrepreneur, these business card cases made of recycled circuit boards are hip and green.

6. And for the dad or grad that has it all, how about a donation in their name to the micro-credit organization Kiva. A gift like this shows us how investing in someone else’s future is truly investing in our own.

7. How about a truly clean shave for your husband or grad? The North Woods Organic Shaving Kit Gift Set by Aubrey Organics made of only sustainable, plant-based ingredients is just that.

8. The Conscious Business Institute is an international organization that supports businesses and leaders in creating more effective, inspiring and sustainable companies. For those execs or grads, looking to step up their game as conscious leaders and entrepreneurs, a mentoring program from a company such as this might be the ultimate gift.

The era of socks, ties and personalized stationary is gone. And with a selection of conscious and ecofriendly gifts for dads and grads such as this, we’re glad!
