George’s Ultimate Father’s Day Gift Guide
You probably know me by now, but if you’ve just swooped in, I’m George: feathered co-founder of Léon & George, and resident Green-Cheeked Conure, often found tweeting! I’m always amped to celebrate Father’s Day (shoutout to my human Dad, Nico!) and this year it falls on June 20, so I’m not a moment too soon in sharing my gifting insights for this extra-special Springtime celebration.
Without further ado, check out my shortlist of the very best Father’s Day Gifts. And shop with confidence, because all of the products listed here are sustainably crafted, friendly to Mother Earth (of course!) and sure to thrill Dad!
Incense of the West Teepee Burner
Is there anything more nostalgic than a classic, Incense of the West terracotta incense burner? I think not. And Incense of the West’s incest is handcrafted and all-natural, so you can be sure that there’s no adverse effect on the air quality of Dad’s house (which, if it’s full of Léon and George plants, should be very clean and purified indeed!).
Druthers Organic Cotton Gradient Crew Sock
It is a truth universally acknowledged that all Dads love socks. And if you have a stylin’ Dad (or a Dad you’d love to style) you can’t go wrong with the groovy gradient of these organic cotton, vibrantly purple crew socks from NYC-based Druthers.
Léon & George Tiger Evergreen
We can’t get over our brand-new Tiger Evergreen. It’s so lush, so vibrant, and just so cool. Add some jungle vibrations to Dad’s man-cave with the ultimate low-maintenance, verdant Evergreen!
Juniper Ridge Coastal Pine Candle
We love Juniper Ridge. They’re Bay Area based (where our company began!) and their products are made through a painstaking process of hiking, distilling and wildcrafting. A Juniper Ridge product is always something you can feel good about buying, and their scents are bar-none exquisite: directly reminiscent and redolent of the environments in which the ingredients were hand-harvested! I recommend their Coastal Pine Candle above all, to bring to memory camping trips and walks spent with Dad.
Mollusk Scallop Trunks
Are you hitting the beach with Dad this Father’s Day? If so, don’t skimp on the trunks! These classic-cut trunks are the perfect indigo shade and trust me, they’re comfy. We love CA-based Mollusk for their nostalgic style- think Gidget, Endless Summer, etc!
Léon & George Braided Money Tree
We’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the best gift of all- bestower of good fortune, friend of feng shui, and, some say, a mystical catalyst for increased cash flow! It’s the large Braided Money Tree, and it’s an easy-care, low-maintenance plant that’s the perfect fit for Dad’s home or office.
House of Botanicals Watering Can & Mister and Moisture Meter Five Pack
Like peanut butter and jelly, these gifts are best enjoyed together! The House of Botanicals Watering Can & Mister is a handy two-for-one, with a long spout for watering as well as a spray nozzle, so Dad can mist his plants to his heart’s content! Our Moisture Meter Five Packs are available in small, medium and large sizes to correspond with the size of Dad’s Léon & George plants, and they take the mystery out of any watering routine! Oh, and if Dad has run out, our Core Refill Pack includes five refills, so we’ve got him covered!
