Father's Day usually comes in the family at the same time as the little one in the house carries the job for his father at school or in kindergarten!
Nothing could be more delicious for the dad, but let's also see together some other initiative or suggestion, feasible thanks to the help of the mother or to the complicity of close adults to live in a simple, natural and likeable way also this day.
Eco gifts
For a father of nature, a lover of green style and a friend of animals, here are a few suggestions. We start with nice eco- friendly t-shirts, made of organic cotton and natural colors, of which we find many brands and online types, of which we point out the singular shirt made of sugar from the Soleterre.org site, which also supports the campaign "I lay down the arms ", to help former child soldiers in Ivory Coast.
Furthermore you can think of the classic socks in natural fibers, always useful and resistant, or the intimate option according to nature, with the social cooperative Fair and the artisan company GB di Bruzzese, the main architects of the " Made in No " project, which they propose a wide selection of pajamas, jumpsuits, panties and boxers and undershirts with supernatural colors and fibers.
And also jeans, caps, scarves or eco gadgets, such as those that can be found on the Emergency website, from the pen holder, to the memo cube, the USB stick, the mousepad or the object holder. And don't forget to make fun, eco-friendly gift packages!
Delicious traditional recipes
If dad is a greedy guy, let's get into the kitchen! Together with the children you can prepare the typical sweets of the different Italian gastronomic traditions, such as the zeppole or bignè di San Giuseppe, rich cream puffs with cream and black cherries; but also the Emilian raviola, large sweet ravioli made with short pastry filled with plum jam; or the Sicilian rice crispelle, rice sausage, honey, flour and cinnamon invented in the 16th century by the Benedictine nuns of a Catania convent. In short, there is something for all tastes to make even dad's stomach smile!
Invitation to the park
And after a good meal, let's not forget a trip in the countryside. Dads will appreciate the idea of receiving a Sunday invitation to the park as a gift, perhaps on foot or by bike, discovering the green areas close to home.
This year Father's Day is on Wednesday, so you can prepare a nice note in which you invite your dad to take an adventure ride in one of the many Italian parks, consulting first the numerous initiatives on the Italiaparchi.it website , for example, to follow the appointments region by region.
If the father is rather sedentary, give him a ride in a nice museum, recoding to you also that on 22 and 23 March next fall the days of FAI (Italian Environment Fund), full of initiatives.
Not to forget the supportive side
Father's Day also falls on St. Joseph's Day, March 19, precisely, the patron saint of orphans and the indigent. In countries like Sicily the habit of solidarity lunch remained, an invitation to share a meal with those in difficulty.
Look around, among friends and acquaintances, maybe alone or elderly, but also people who need your help, families with other children, and invite them to share a lunch or a picnic together, for a solidarity Father's Day celebration. Unity is strength! You will also remember this day also because you have made a good and meaningful gesture of profound sharing.
