Let’s be honest, shopping for Dad is hard. He’s the guy who says, “I don’t need anything” but then borrows your reusable water bottle for six months and calls it “his.” You could go the traditional route and get him a tie he’ll wear once (if ever), or another “World’s Best Dad” mug that’ll collect dust behind the coffee filters.
But this year? Let’s raise the bar.
Father’s Day is the perfect time to show love not just to the guy who taught you how to ride a bike or change a tire, but also to share the love with the planet. At DoneGood, we’ve rounded up six amazing gifts that do more than make your dad smile. They’re made by ethical brands that pay living wages, provide good jobs, use sustainable materials, and look out for the Earth.
So skip the last-minute scramble. These picks are actually cool and do some real good.
Six Father's Day Gifts Your Dad (And The Earth) Will Love
1. AWSM Sauce Starter Kit – For the Dad Who’s a Sauce Boss
If your dad believes flavor is a lifestyle, not just a seasoning—this one’s for him. The AWSM Starter Kit is his golden ticket to saucy greatness. It includes two sleek mixing jars and his choice of two flavor boxes (3-packs each), so he can whip up delicious, chef-level sauces with just a shake and some water.
But it’s not just tasty—it’s thoughtful. AWSM is shaking up the sauce game by ditching the waste and shipping nonsense. Their powder packets decrease plastic use by 95% (and not to mention fridge-door clutter) and cut out the emissions from shipping water all over the planet. Just add water at home and boom—amazing sauce, zero guilt.

2. Plant Trees Hooded Sweatshirt – For the Dad Who Basically Lives Outdoors
Whether he’s a weekend hiker, backyard composter, or just someone who likes a good hoodie (aka every dad), this one’s a keeper. The Plant Trees Hooded Sweatshirt by Conscious Step is a super-soft evergreen hoodie made from 100% organic cotton and brushed inside for maximum coziness—basically, it’s comfort with a conscience.
This ethically made staple is pre-washed to reduce shrinkage and sports a gender-neutral fit that falls at the hip, so it looks good on every dad bod, from gym rat to nap champ. A small tree embroidery on the cuff adds just the right touch of eco-style.
Even better? Each purchase helps plant trees through trusted reforestation partners. So Dad gets a hoodie he’ll wear constantly, and the planet gets a few more leafy friends. Win-win.

3. Camping-Themed Father’s Day Card – For the Dad Who’d Rather Be in a Tent
Give Dad a card that matches his love for fresh air, campfires, and getting just a little lost on purpose. This hand-finished Father’s Day card, illustrated by Sally Payne, is full of charming camping vibes—think trees, compass, rucksack, and all the cozy outdoorsy feels.
It’s printed on translucent paper so you can see the festive confetti stars and dots inside that shake and shimmer—like a mini celebration in an envelope. It’s blank inside, so you can write your own heartfelt (or hilariously dad-jokey) message.
Made in the UK from sustainably sourced wood pulp and 100% plastic-free, this card is as kind to the planet as it is thoughtful.
Tip: Add in a DoneGood Gift Card for a surprise that lets Dad pick out something ethical and awesome for himself. Adventure? Handled.

4. Cedarwood & Blood Orange Soap – For the Dad Who Smells Like a Forest (In a Good Way)
If your dad could bottle the essence of his ideal weekend, camping in the woods with a twist of citrusy freshness, this soap would be it. The Cedarwood & Blood Orange Soap Bar blends woodsy cedar, warm amber, and a juicy burst of blood orange and lemon verbena. It's like showering in a cedar forest with a fruit grove nearby—refreshing, rugged, and just a little unexpected.
Handmade in small batches, this bar is free of animal by-products, palm oil, and phthalates. It’s cured for a minimum of four weeks to bring out the best in every lather, and packaged in 90% post-consumer recycled material—because smelling good shouldn't mean compromising your values (or the planet).
Perfect for face, body, or hands, and made for skin that’s sensitive to normal—just like Dad.

5. Handmade Wine Tote – For the Dad Who Knows His Way Around a Corkscrew
For the dad who brings the best bottle to dinner, this handwoven wine tote is the perfect plus-one. Bright, cheerful stripes (with many other color choices) wrap around a padded, 100% cotton sleeve with a sturdy canvas base and handles—ready to safely cradle his favorite cabernet, pinot, or whatever he’s pouring.
Whether he’s heading to a BYOB spot or gifting a bottle to a friend, this tote adds just the right amount of style (and protection). And it’s not just good-looking—it’s good doing. Handwoven by Mayamam Weavers, a cooperative of women artisans in Guatemala, each tote helps preserve Mayan traditions while providing fair wages, childcare, and business education to the women who make them.
6. Ultra Minimal Round Sunglasses – For the Dad Who’s Cooler Than He Thinks
Whether he’s out for a hike, flipping burgers at a backyard BBQ, or pretending not to nap in a lawn chair, Dad needs shades that do it all—and these Matte Black Round Sunglasses deliver. With a timeless round frame and black lenses, they match pretty much any outfit, skin tone, or sun-drenched situation.
But these aren’t your average sunnies. Paper Shades crafts their frames from 100% recycled paper, with non-toxic glues, UV400 lenses, and steel hinges that are either recyclable or fully biodegradable within 40 years. They’re adjustable to fit all face shapes and designed to go anywhere, just like Dad.
Even better? Paper Shades is out to change the game—challenging wasteful business practices and empowering conscious consumers with every pair.
