Father’s Day Shopping—Fab Fair Trade Gifts for the Special Father

The ultimate holiday for Men as Fathers is coming up in 2015 on Sunday, June 21st. And as a special bonus, June 21st is also the summer solstice—with summer beginning on that day at 12:38 in the morning EDT and it is the longest day of the year, as in more daylight for fun times. What a glorious, long, summer day to celebrate our Fathers, Dads, Papas, Papis. The holiday was established to celebrate the deep, forming, bonding contribution fathers and father figures make in the lives of children.

So, you have time to shop for dad and find that perfect gift that tells him you think he’s the best father in the world and you love him for it. And you and he can feel good that these items are fair trade, socially conscious, eco friendly and contribute to an equitable economy. They’re also all handmade by caring artisans.

We’ve recently created a new catchall category on the Shopping for a Change site called Men’s Goods. Here, you’ll find everything from cuff links to computer cases to wallets to bracelets, shirts and travel weekender bags. And quite a few are now on sale too. Check ‘em out for dad.

For the best discounts you’ll find on the internet for fair trade gifts, please go to our Summer Sale selections.


Enjoy your shopping and be sure to recommend us to your friends. Shopping for a Change is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Undoubtedly, she’ll feel good that she’s contributing to the socially conscious economics of paying artisans fairly (most of them are mothers too!) and using items that are not damaging to the local environment and ecology. That’s a perfect gift, even for Mother Earth.

All made by hand, we have oodles of options to choose from: purses and totes, accessories, jewelry, home décor, shawls and wraps, even baby clothes and toys for the new mother, and more. Click here to see our collections.
