Have you ever tried to think of the most perfect fathers day gift, only to realize the holiday is literally DAYS away?  Not this year!  That’s why I’ve put together the top Father’s day gifts for dads who love to travel. Gone are the days of last minute handwritten cards with a “nice” sentiment.  Yeah yeah… those are nice too, but it’s time to get your dad something he actually wants (and deserves) for fathers day. 

If your dad is anything like mine, he isn’t exactly easy to buy for.  He never needs anything, and when you ask what he wants, he replies with a quick “I don’t need anything.”  …So not helpful!

Well I’m here to help!  I’ve taken the guessing game out of this father’s day and put together this ultimate guide- Father’s day gifts for dads who love to travel.  If your dad enjoys camping, traveling, or reliving the “good ole days,” here are the best things you can give to ensure he has the most perfect Father’s day.  

Here are the BEST Father’s day gifts for dads who love to travel

Travel Toiletries Bag

This would be my choice for the perfect toiletries bag! This specific one is weather resistant and durable. Perfect for travel! Plus, this one is big enough to fit everything your dad will need, but small enough to easily tuck into his bag.

Neck Support Travel Pillow

I bought the neck pillow below for my trip to Egypt, and it was comfortable and easy to pack. It folds up and fits easily in a carry on without having to hang from your backpack and get dirty your whole trip. Plus, the neck support is important on long haul flights or road trips!

Portable Power Bank

This is one of the top items EVERY traveler needs. Imagine your phone battery running out right as you are about to capture the bright blue color of the Blue Lagoon? Thank god we no longer have to carry that anxiety with us! The portable bank below is super sleek, light weight and has four ports so you can charge multiple items at once.

Purifying Water Bottle

This water bottle is perfect for camping, hiking, or taking to places where it’s not safe to drink the water. With no set up time, all you have to do it fill, press and drink. The bottle purifies any water, removing bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, harsh chemicals and more!

Wifi Digital Picture Frame

This is the best picture frame for sharing all the most memorable travel memories with your dad. No need to get the photos printed, framed, and hung- you can just send pictures to the frame from anywhere in the world through the mobile app Frameo. You can even have it upload videos!

Travel Backpack

This is HANDS DOWN my favorite backpack.  I always have this as my carry on, and I loved it when I traveled through Peru.  With multiple compartments, this backpack has two water bottle holders, straps for belongings, and cushions that keep your back from hurting after hours of hiking.  Highly recommend!  (Especially for those with back issues!)

Waterproof Phone Case

These waterproof phone cases are cheap and are the best for beach vacations, days on the boat, or fishing trips! I often find myself needing these in my travels, but never think to pack them. Give your dad the friendly reminder by giving them to him for a summer full of sunny days on the water! The ones below fit a variety of phons, and come in a two pack for only $9.99!

Insulated Coffee Press

Does your dad love to travel AND love his coffee?  This is the PERFECT way to combine these two passions.  This insulated coffee press brews your coffee and keeps it hot and ready for sipping for hours!  Perfect for camping trips!

Lightweight Rain Jacket

I swear by packing a lightweight raincoat for almost ANY trip.  I suggest this one- it’s super durable and lightweight.  It also comes in so many different colors, so you can get your dad his favorite!

WATERPROOF KINDLE

For those who like to read, you know Kindles are the way to go.  You can pack multiple books without having to weigh down your bag.  This waterproof one is perfect for traveling.  You can carry it on hikes and airplane, or bring to the beach and not have to worry about it getting wet and destroyed.  

Universal Travel Adapter

If you travel, you know about needing the perfect power adapter.  This one is a universal one that works in 150 different countries.  It’s also lightweight which is great when you have to pack it in your carry on!

Luggage Scale

If your dad is anything like mine, there is NO WAY he is going to pay overweight baggage fees.  This hanging luggage scale is small enough to carry with you, and will tell you exactly what your bag weighs so you can avoid those outrageous fees!

Camping Multitool

One tool that can be used for it all?!  This multitool has a hammer, axe, bottle opener, pliers, knife and hatchet all in one.
It’s a camping necessity!  

The Travel Book

Is your dad a big reader?
This book takes you through every country in the world.  It’s a great read to help inspire future travels!

Weekend Travel Bag

Every dad can use a new and improved weekend bag. This one will keep you organized, and easily fit on a plane or the trunk of a car. Perfect for those weekend getaways or quick work trips!

Espresso Machine

I know my dad enjoys trying coffee and espresso from around the world.
What better way?

The Perfect Rolling Carry On

With dimensions of 22 x 15 x 9″, this bag works as a carry on for almost any airline.  It has wheels, a retractable handle and even an ID pocket for getting through security easily.

Vegan Leather Monogrammed Luggage Tag

We all know how beat up cheap luggage tags can get.  Don’t you think your dad deserves a nice looking durable one for his next trip?!  

Collapsable Rolling Cooler

This may be one of the coolest father’s day gifts ever.  This rolling cooler collapses!  This means it’ll fit just about ANYWHERE and is perfect for camping, fishing, or days by the lake!

Decorative Desk Globe

Everyone likes a reminder of their passions at the work place.  Give your dad this classy decorative globe.  He can put it on his office desk and be reminded of his passion for travel each and every day!

Universal Voltage Converter

We’ve all blown out a hair dryer, or felt how hot our laptop chargers can get in another country.  This is due to the change in voltage.  This voltage converter takes 240v and converts to 120v ensuring the safety of overheating,  overcharging or short-circuiting. It has 4 charging ports perfect for laptops and phones, and is small in size.  Ideal for travel!

Waterproof Outdoor Sandals

These outdoor hiking sandals are perfect for short hikes near the water or fishing in the lake because they’re 100% waterproof!

Fast Drying Travel Towels

I mean… I guess this isn’t the MOST exciting gift, but they seriously do come in handy!
If your dad loves to travel and hike, this is the perfect gift!  These hiking polls are light weight, and easily collapse making them easy to pack on any trip.

Travel Scratch Map

Now your dad has something to scratch other than lottery tickets!  This world map is the perfect reminder for any travel nerd of all the incredible places they’ve been, and bucket list destinations they have yet to check off!

Men’s Puffer Jacket

Puffer jackets are a MUST for every traveler.  It’s the easiest way to pack for cold destinations such as Iceland without having to carry around those heavy, bulky winter jackets!  Plus, they’re still super warm!

Collapsible Hiking Poles

If your dad loves to travel and hike, this is the perfect gift!  These hiking polls are light weight, and easily collapse making them easy to pack on any trip.

***

Now that you’ve got all these epic ideas for your travel loving dad, you’re bound to give him the best father’s day ever!  Nothing says I love you quite like a rain jacket for his future trip to Peru.  Am I right?!  All jokes aside, I hope my father’s day gifts for dads who love to travel helped you stay two steps ahead and helps make your dad feels extra special. Happy shopping!
