Ethical Socks From Peper Harow – Ad
Put a spring in your dad’s step with the gift of British-made luxury socks, from ethical brand Peper Harow, and enjoy 20% off for Moral Fibres readers.
Made in Peper Harow’s West Sussex factory, your purchase supports British manufacturing. Not only that – Peper Harow also uses eco-friendly materials, such as Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified organic cotton and recycled cotton, alongside Supima cotton and Egyptian cotton, to make its stylish socks.
One of my favourite things about Peper Harow is that each pair of socks is made without a toe seam – that annoying thick seam at the end of the socks that can rub on your toes. This gives you the most comfortable fit, regardless of the type of shoe you are wearing or the activity you are taking part in.
If you’re unsure what to buy, Peper Harow’s top seller right now is this five-pack of black organic cotton sports socks (£65). And if sports socks aren’t your dad’s thing, try Peper Harow’s carefully curated gift box selection. Here you’ll find a fantastic selection of socks that are perfect for gifting, from £36.
Peper Harow offers free UK shipping on all orders over £30. Plus you can get 20% off your order when you use the exclusive discount code MORALLYSTYLISH at the checkout.
A Good Book From An Ethical Bookshop
If your dad enjoys reading, then try Bookshop.org. This Father’s Day I’m picking up my dad some WW2 books (his preferred subject matter) from there. If military history isn’t your dad’s thing, then don’t worry. Bookshop.org has a huge range of fantastic books – like its National Trust collection – and from a vast range of bestselling authors across all genres.
What’s so special about Bookshop.org is that it’s an online bookshop with a mission to financially support local, independent bookshops. When you order online, you can choose to support your local independent bookshop, and they’ll receive 30% of the cover price (or almost all of the profit) on your orders for a year. Otherwise, 10% of the cover price of your order will contribute to an earnings pool that will be evenly distributed among participating independent bookshops each month.
Tasty Ethical Chocolate
Does your dad have a sweet tooth? Then try these tasty chocolate buttons from Up-Up Chocolate (£5.99 at Selfridges).
Up-Up Chocolate takes a human-first approach to chocolate. Made using cocoa from a single Colombian farm – the world’s first to be certified by slavefreetrade (a Swiss non-profit) – Up-Up ensures every worker has a contract, holiday pay and a fair wage.
By processing the cocoa in Colombia and finishing production in Edinburgh, the supply chain stays short, transparent, and traceable.
As well as milk chocolate options, you can find vegan-friendly dark chocolate options and a wide range of tasty bars with unique flavours.
Eco-Friendly Whisky
Oxford Rye whisky (£55 for 70 cl) from the Oxford Artisan Distillery – available at Master of Malt – is a great eco-friendly gift this Father’s Day if your dad likes a glass of whisky now and again.
What makes this whisky sustainable is that The Oxford Artisan Distillery is a huge advocate of responsible farming.
The rye used in this batch was a combination of heritage grains planted to aid biodiversity in the Oxford countryside. These heritage grains are grown sustainably, without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilisers and even manuring. There is low to no crop rotation and the crop is undersown with clover. All of this contributes to an abundance of wildflowers, insects and birds across its fields.
As such, each bottle helps to regenerate the land and supports biodiversity with every bottle.
Did I mention it tastes good? Enjoyed straight, with a little ice or water, or with some ginger beer, it’s one that we keep coming back to (to sip sustainably!).
Wave Sustainable Phone Case
Whether your dad has an iPhone, a Samsung or a Google phone, Wave Case (£25) is here to help protect your dad’s phone sustainably.
Made from wheat straw, rather than fossil-fuel-based plastic, these clever cases are carefully designed to protect your phone from drops and scratches as well as a traditional plastic case. In fact, Wave says its cases are military-grade drop-tested. That’s 26 continuous drops onto a hard surface.
As well as eschewing plastic in its phone cases, as you would expect, Wave also posts its cases in 100% recycled and recyclable packaging.
Wave is also a member of 1% For The Planet – an international organisation whose members contribute at least one per cent of their annual revenue to environmental causes. This means your case does good, whilst protecting your phone.
All in all, it’s my top eco-friendly choice for tech-loving dads this Father’s Day.
Compostable Coffee Pods
If your dad has a Nespresso coffee machine, then this Father’s Day why not help him green his coffee-drinking habits? Grind (from £9.95) cleverly offers home compostable coffee pods, which are Nespresso compatible.
The pods are ingeniously made from plants. This makes them plastic-free, organic and biodegradable whilst retaining the freshness and shelf life of your coffee. When they’re done, pop them in your compost bin – Grind says the pods compost faster than grass cuttings or a banana peel!
Grind hasn’t stopped there. It’s set up its own charitable foundation – the Better Coffee Foundation. This was set up by Grind to begin reversing some of the damage caused by the wider coffee industry. Through the foundation, Grind is committed to removing two coffee pods’ worth of plastic from the ocean for every Grind pod sold.
Grind also helps to prevent plastic pollution before it reaches the ocean through its partnership with CleanHub. Here, CleanHub supports communities in Kerala, South West India, to recover plastic waste through education, recycling incentives, ocean beach cleanups and improved recycling infrastructure.
Did we mention the coffee tastes good? Grind sources its beans directly from smallholders around the world, and supports them to grow their farms and invest in their communities.
