Father’s Day falls on the 15th of June in 2008, so it’s probably time to start planning a special day for the Dads that are part of your life. Gifts don’t have to be things, they could also be an action or some of your time. Over the next few weeks I’ll cover a variety of ideas for making Father’s Day a green experience rather than just another commercial landmark over the course of the year.

To get the ball rolling, here are a few ideas of gifts of time.

1. Wash Dad’s car.

2. Give him a shoulder massage.

3. Make him a special dinner.

4. Mow the lawn so that he doesn’t have to.

5. Do the weeding in his allotment/vegetable garden.

Use your imagination and make it personal. If you are going to go down the route of giving him a gift, make it something that will enhance a greener lifestyle. I’ll be concentrating on green gadgets and other gifts for Dads with a green twist as we count down the four weeks to Father’s Day.
