Surprise Dad with the best Father’s Day gifts that he actually wants, instead of another coffee mug or tie. Better yet, invoke the travel spirit in dad by getting him a travel friendly gift that will make life on the road or in the skies a better experience overall. We’ve compiled a Father’s Day gift guide for the traveling dad that he is sure to love!
1. Best gift to keep Dad connected!
In this era where our lifeline is literally our mobile phones, there is nothing worse than seeing the battery level getting to a scarily low level. Yikes! Avoid this common stressor by traveling with an added battery pack that acts as a backup battery to your phone. This will be a lifesaver when you can’t actually get to an outlet to charge your phone or device. The Mophie Powerstation allows you to charge multiple devices at the same time, including tablets, smartphones and USB devices. It will keep tablets playing movies throughout an entire flight, and its slim design slips easily into dad’s pocket. It doesn’t get more convenient than that!

2. Keep things quiet for Dad!
Hook dad up with the hottest pair of headphones for his travels! Although a bit pricey, they are definitely worth their weight in gold. The BOSE QuietComfort 35 WirelessHeadphones II are noise cancelling and are perfect for those long flights to block out all of the background noise. No need to worry about messy cords twisting up since they are wireless and bluetooth enabled. Enjoy up to 20 hours of wireless listening per charge!
Price: $299.95
3. The perfect gift to keep Dad groomed!
Step up dad’s grooming game with this handcrafted leather Dopp Kit from LifetimeLeatherCo.

The best part is that it can be personalized with a monogram or name of up to 7 characters. This is one of the best Father’s Day gifts that is unique to the special traveling dad in your life!

8. Keep Dad’s valuables dry while traveling!
This is the perfect gift for the adventuring dad!

9. Best Father’s Day Gift to keep Dad entertained!
Don’t let this tiny compact speaker fool you into thinking its sound will be subpar. On the contrary, it can go head-to-head with most larger sized speaker sets, with its 360-degree sound and big bass. For the traveling dad, the Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM Portable Waterproof Bluetooth Wireless Speaker is the perfect musical companion. It is waterproof, drop proof and it floats! That means if the kids decide to play a game of catch with it, or throw it in the vacation rental pool, there’s no need to fear! It will keep on playing music without incident. Dad can pack it in his suitcase and use a bluetooth connection to play his favorite music or podcasts at the beach, in his hotel or even in the shower!
