Father's Day gifts
Here you can find different gifts for Father's Day. For example, you'll find silicone trivets, coasters, wine corks and key rings. Silicone is a durable, long-lasting and environmentally friendly material, completely free of phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA-free). You can choose from motifs such as Swedish lighthouses (choose the lighthouse that fits best!), compass roses, moose and reindeer, just to name a few. One tip is to combine a personalised wine cork with a bottle that dad likes.
You will also find a handy little water purifier that you can use in a regular pet bottle, which is enough to purify 300 litres of water. Another fun and personalised gift idea is our lovely motif pasta. For example, how about pasta in the shape of motorhomes or golfers?
