Father’s Day is just a couple of weeks away! While our Fathers and husbands know we appreciate and love them without the gifts, it’s still fun to bless them with a few little goodies – especially if those goodies are ethically sourced and fair trade! I’ve put together a few ideas to help you find a little bit of awesome for those Fathers in your life ;0)
Fabulous Fair Trade Father’s Day Gifts Ideas
Foodie Fathers
I just found this shop called Delish General Store – and they have got a gold mine of fantastic products handcrafted items produced everywhere from the provinces of Canada to Provence, France. If you have a Father in your life who loves being in the kitchen, then they will LOVE some of these ideas!
