15 Cool Father’s Day Gifts
Father’s Day is the 3rd of September this year and has come around quickly!
As usual, I have been researching to find you my top picks of dad gifts this year that are healthy, organic, eco-friendly, recycled, ethical, fair trade or just cool.
I hope it helps with your shopping!
♥ Lhami Mens’ Cologne
It can be really hard to find a natural mens’ fragrance or cologne – there are not many around. But, the lovely Natalie from Lhami has released one! It’s all natural and contains pure essential oils with fresh citrus top notes that settle into a masculine scent that lasts all day. The blend of sandalwood and peppery spice base notes, and the beautiful Buddahwood gives a real leather and tobacco note to the fragrance.
Natalie also makes a mens’ face lotion and shaving gel if you want to make up a little pack.

♥ Wooden Nutcracker
Did you guess what this was? I think it’s so cool and it’s less than $10! This wooden nutcracker is made from FSC beechwood using biodegradable tools. Based on an early 17th century design, there is a chamber to catch the shells as well. It’s even strong enough to crack macadamias. Throw in a bag of nuts and Dad will have a zen activity to do all afternoon.
