Father's Day is coming up on the 16th of June, and this year we're determined to do our darling Dads proud and get something a little bit more special than the usual badly wrapped pair of socks and a garage-bought card (sorry Dad). 

We've asked around to see what it is that Dads far and wide are hoping for, and have compiled a list of ideas for you to mull over so that this Father's Day, you can surprise the Dads in your life with some top treats that they truly deserve.

Springtime in Japan is nothing less than magical. From late March to mid April the country's iconic sakura (cherry blossom) captures the attention of visitors from far and wide who marvel at the short-lived pink flowers on the abundance of cherry trees.

Mother's Day is just around the corner (Sunday 31st March, pop it in your diary now), and we're taking a moment to sit back and bask in the glory of those mighty Mamas who cross our paths daily. Being a Mum seems to be a job that requires endless amounts of energy, patience and various wipes, so we want to offer up a few ways to treat the Mother in your life like the leading lady that she is, and show her how much all her efforts mean to you.

Here at Postcards Home, we believe in fair employment and sustainable trade. It just makes sense. When people are paid a decent living wage and their services are valued, productivity goes up and communities flourish, we all win.   

We go to great lengths to ensure that the products we sell tell a soulful and sustainable story - one that focuses on people and quality, rather than profits and quantity, and one that is rooted in the places where each product is made.

Every year the fantastic folk at the Fairtrade Foundation run a two-week campaign over February and March to highlight the difference Fairtrade can make to lives and communities around the world. We're getting involved in Fairtrade Fortnight - join us!
