Father's Day is about showing massive respect to all the amazing Dads, father figures, and great men in your life who are and have been great role models. The heroes who have made sacrifices and gone without. Those who have made difficult decisions, or have chosen to do the right thing in times of adversity. Those who support, encourage, advise, protect, and raise up the next generation.
In honour of these total legends, it is customary to give gifts, and to help you find something suitable, we've put together a Father's Day Gift Guide filled with high quality pieces, each hand-picked not only for its design and its appeal, but also for its ethical credentials. Plus, find out below how you can win the entire bundle.

And just look at those slick, minimalist good looks. The design of AJOTO's pens, branding and even their aluminium and cork packaging is beautifully considered.

3. The Scout Sunglasses by Tens
Rose tinted glasses? Well, they're now a thing. Usually, sunglasses protect your eyes by making the world look dull, but the custom lens from Tens filters sunlight into warm golden tones, creating a world of nostalgic warmth. That's right, you can now Instagram Filter your world. Apparently even Sir Richard Branson's a fan.
Designed in Scotland, each pair of sunglasses is handcrafted with human hands, ensuring high levels of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
In case all of the above hadn't already made you hit the SHOP NOW button, the real great thing about these frames is their eco-friendly credentials. Yes they look like plastic, but they're actually made from plant-based Italian acetate, all originating from the renewable resources of wood pulp & natural cotton fibres. The impact on the environment is dramatically lower than regular plastic sunglasses.

6. Merchant Coin Purse by Barnes & Moore
6. Merchant Coin Purse by Barnes & Moore
Barnes & Moore enjoy taking a traditional approach to their products, favouring artisanal craftsmanship to automated processes. This coin holder was created as a result of personal experience; that frustrating situation of coins wearing through pockets, resulting in repairs being required long before the pockets had actually worn out.
The Merchant coin purse is small and neat enough not to absorb all your pocket space, and provides a handy solution to store your daily loose change. Fastening with a vintage Talon zipper, and lined with English bridle leather, the details here make for the perfect marriage of quality, style and function. Each item is handmade from the finest materials at the brand's workshop in England.

As with all our garments, the fabric has been meticulously cut and sewn by hand in Manchester, England. We believe that in selecting luxuriously soft, organic fabrics, our products have a noticeably high quality and comfortably soft feel. The print has then been applied directly to the finished garment, using water-based inks, here in Manchester.
