Green and ethical Father's Day gifts

For the techie dad who likes coffee and, er, keys. These coasters and key rings have been created from reclaimed circuit boards that would have otherwise ended up in landfill sites. Available from a range of stockists, including John Lewis, price: £9.99 for four coasters, £1.75 for a keyring. Photograph: Revolve

A kickabout in the garden will be good for your dad and good for workers in Pakistan if you buy this football. The Fairtrade label guarantees a fair wage for the ball's makers. Available from Natural Collection, price: £9.95. Photograph: Natural Collection

Another Fairtrade gift idea. Divine's dark chocolate bars are made with 70% cocoa, produced by a farmer's co-operative which co-owns the company. And now you can get a mint version too. Available from Sainsbury's, Asda, Waitrose, Tesco and Oxfam, price: around £1.19. Photograph: Divine

Improve your dad's appearance and smell with this men's gift box from Neal's Yard. The facial wash, moisturiser, shaving oil and soap contain organic ingredients, and there's a 100% organic cotton flannel. Price: £22.50. Photograph: Neal's Yard

So you dad already has an iPod, a mobile phone and a Blackberry, but there may be a solar-powered-charging-system-shaped hole in his gadget collection. In which case, get him a Freeloader. With it, he can use the sun's rays to charge his other gizmos. Available from Natural Collection, price: £24.95. Photograph: Natural Collection

St Peter's is the beer gift you can give your dad that doesn't look like a last-minute panic buy from the offie. Made in Suffolk from local ingredients, the range includes organic ales, and beers flavoured with honey and fruits. Available in supermarkets, price: from £2.30 for a 500ml bottle.

An empty beer bottle may be less popular with your dad - but not if it has been fashioned into a quirky glass. As the reused bottles are never melted down the makers claim these glasses are 90% more energy efficient than normal recycled glass. Available from the Natural History Museum, price: £15 for two.

Well if it must be socks, at least make them Fairtrade. These are available from Marks & Spencer in two dad-friendly colours, black or beige. Price: £4 for two pairs. Photograph: Marks & Spencer
