Father’s day is around the corner and the hunt to find the perfect gift is becoming harder and harder each year. If you have a father like mine that does everything and has everything the perfect gift is nearly impossible to find. As I embarked on my treasure hunt I came across some great green gift ideas for every father out there. Below you will find my top 5 picks for the perfect father’s day gift.
1. Solar Powered Cell Phone Charger
Many cell phone accessory companies are going green with their phones and accessories. As you Google solar powered phone chargers many different options are available to you. One of the latest solar powered cell phone chargers on the market is by Energizer called Energi To Go. This solar charger gives your iPhone that additional battery life that is well needed throughout the day.
2. Solar Hybrid Flashlight
For the dad that likes to spend his summer days in the wilderness a solar hybrid flashlight is the perfect gift. This solar hybrid flashlight is equipped with LED lights that are fueled by solar energy so buying batteries will be a thing of the past.
3. Electricity Usage Monitor
We all know growing up dad was always on us to turn off the lights or TV when not in use. An electricity usage monitor will allow dad to plug in and see how much electricity is being used, for how long and on what appliances. Great for dad’s that are looking to cut energy cost during summer time.
4. Eco Golf Tees
These eco-friendly golf tees are made from recycled wood and are biodegradable for those dad’s that are just learning and losing golf tees on the course. To really spice things add a free round of golf at his favorite location and this will surely bring a smile to his face.
5. Solar Electric System
If you really want to go all out and impress your dad you should consider either paying for a solar electric system or putting some money towards one for him. This will bring your dad to his knees especially since he can use that extra money saved every month towards all his other hobbies. This will be a sure way to repay dad for those 18 years of extra energy used that we all wasted by leaving lights, TVs and other electronic devices on.
Whatever it is you decide to do for your father on his special day make a change and start going green with those gift ideas. Lastly, remember not to go and buy him a card but instead send him an e-card. To all those father’s out there Happy Father’s Day.

I like the electricity usage monitor for my home…forget about dad! Seriously, I would find this item, solar powered cell phone charger for all phones and the solar electric system all very useful and efficient. It cost more to go green, but you’re saving so much more than just money!
So Cal Solar Blog,
Wow! What a great blog site!! You’ve got great informative links: I never knew the amount of hazards in my own home, but now i know “the average household accumulates up to 100 lbs of hazardous household waste, including cleaning products, paints, oils, batteries, and pesticides.” And there are links where i can obtain better products for my home, my family, my world. Your blog is informative and gives helpful, EASY ways for people to transform their lives and their world! Great job! Your making a difference!
I love the ideas! You definitely got me thinking about gifts for my husband from our daughter. I like the golf tees. My husband loves to golf, but does lose tees. I also like the solar powered cell phone charger idea. His phone is always dying. That would be such a useful thing to have! Great blog!
Go green or go home!!
I love the website. Very informative and I love all the Father’s Day ideas especially the golf tees one. You’ve done a wonderful job!
The monitor does it for me. In order to appropriately determine the amount of electricity your going to need for your solar system is imperative in considering what design to go for. Well rounded ideas on this site. Love it! Keep it Up.
