Is your dad, son, or husband one of those guys that’s hard to buy for on Father’s Day? Is he a travel lover? If so, here are some awesome Father’s Day gift ideas that he’ll actually use and will make him smile. You can buy one or all of them for the ultimate travel lovers gift. Celebrate the day by showing ALL your favorite dads what makes them special. Do you know a stepdad or surrogate dad that chooses to be that special person even when they don’t have to be?

Or maybe you have a friend that’s a “Dog Dad” or Cat Dad or even a Chicken Dad? Let them know you think they love their pet well and it shows. Or pamper yourself with some treats of your own. Here are a few creative Father’s Day gift ideas for gifts that keep on giving long after the holiday.

Do you know a young person that will be graduating this year? Most of these ideas are great for them to help them on their own adventures for the summer or for life.

Lightweight Camping Double Hammock

What dad doesn’t like to relax? This gorgeous lightweight (2.2 pounds) parachute fabric double hammock is great to use at home or when camping. It comes in a wide variety of colors, so choose Dad’s favorite.

It has its own carrying pouch and includes nylon straps & steel carabiners for hanging from posts, trees, or anywhere. “Legit Camping” hammocks also come with a lifetime warranty and are rated for 400-pound capacity.

Insulated Travel Cup – Father’s Day Gift Idea

Whether Dad likes taking trips around the city or around the world this insulated travel mug is sure to keep his drinks at the perfect temperature and bring a smile to his face every day. In addition to the gorgeous gradient color and helpful [optional] handle, these travel mugs are created with double-walled lightweight stainless steel – so they’re pretty much indestructible.

Plus, they keep drinks hot for 12 hours and cold for up to 36 hours without transferring the temperature to your hand. They fit almost any size vehicle cup holder and are super easy to clean. Hand-wash only.

Another feature I really like is the carrier bag with an extra compartment for his phone or wallet and a shoulder strap to use when he’s hiking or exploring a new city. This 30-ounce tumbler is sure to help you stay hydrated when you’re out all day and you won’t need to look for refills very often.

TSA-Approved Anti-Theft Laptop Travel Backpack

I bought this backpack myself for our last trip to Europe and I absolutely LOVE it! I used it as my personal bag on my flights and it fit nicely under the seat in front of me with everything I needed. I love that my hands were free to take care of my carry-on and papers during check-in and walking through the airport and train stations. I didn’t have to worry about theft in crowds because of all the safety features.

It’s a super safe laptop backpack and I think this has everything your dad would need to keep his personal items safe traveling around the world or just going to the office. Your favorite graduate can use it for their adventures and college classes too. It has several zipper locks, an external USB port for charging devices on the go, and a hidden pocket in the back for valuables.

Dad or grad will stay safe from thieves with wire-reinforced straps and cut-resistant fabric too. I love the added strap so the backpack can slide over your luggage pull handle when traveling through the airport. I hate it when my personal bag keeps sliding off the top when I’m rushing to my next gate.

If you want to take it up a notch you can buy this Supersafe V2 15.6 inch backpack with a tracker tag to locate it if it gets lost.

Double Layer Tech and Electronics Organizer

Is your favorite dad a tech junkie? These days most of us have at least a half dozen electronics and accessories that we need to organize at home and on the road. This clever double-layer organizer for Dad’s electronic accessories and cords is a real life-saver and perfect Father’s Day gift idea. It keeps everything in order and easy to find. No more tangled cords or digging through bags for the right adapter.

This tech storage bag has 4 sections making organizing that much easier. The exterior is waterproof and you can choose Dad’s favorite color. For an added surprise tuck in a new pair of earbuds or a backup portable battery pack/power bank for the road too!

Father’s Day Gift Ideas – Bucket List Travel Guides

Does your dad have a trip coming up on his calendar? Why not help him prepare with a travel guide? Even if your dad isn’t able to travel right now, that doesn’t mean he can’t plan and dream about his next trip. Check out all the amazing Father’s Day gift ideas – cool travel guides here, and buy him a few books or e-books for destinations that are on his bucket list. Amazon has an excellent selection of travel guides, inspirational books, and language guides.

I highly recommend Rick Steves Travel Guides if your dad is hoping to go to Europe on a budget. Rick has so many practical tips and recommendations for ways to save money, but still immerse yourself in the culture of your destination. And if you and your dad want to brainstorm amazing places to go, I recommend these National Geographic inspiring travel books with gorgeous photography and information on amazing travel destinations.

Etsy – Unique and Customized Father’s Day Gift Ideas for Dad

Even if this coffee mug doesn’t travel as well on the road, I think it’s so adorable that I couldn’t leave it off my list of Father’s Day gift ideas. This adorable “Cat Dad” coffee mug can be personalized with his cat’s name(s)! I just love it, especially for those who don’t have human kids. I bought one for our adult son for Father’s Day.

You’ll love this collection of Father’s Day gift ideas on Etsy that I curated myself. The cool thing is that with so many creative makers on Etsy, you can be sure to find the perfect gift for the perfect price and know that you’re supporting independent businesses in the creative community at the same time.

Luggage in Dad’s Favorite Team Color

Is your dad or graduate a big sports fan? Then buy him luggage in his favorite team color. This sturdy and lightweight luggage set has silent spinner wheels and comes in a choice of 21 colors. Will you choose red for the Arizona Cardinals or Houston Rockets? Or maybe you’ll support the Denver Nuggets with a sleek navy color. A color from his alma mater might make him proud too. Did you know that 48 different NCAA teams use red somewhere in their uniform? Wow!

This 20, 24, and 28-inch set has TSA-approved combo locks, and a hard shell, and includes a 2-year warranty.

TSA Compliant Travel-size Containers & Bag

It will be a breeze getting through security with this set of TSA-compliant travel bottles and a 1-quart toiletry bag. I love the smaller space-saving jars for things like sunscreen or face cream that don’t require larger bottles. The 16-piece set has 4 assorted travel bottles and 4 jars, plus 2 spatulas and a funnel for easy transfer of your products into the containers. There’s even a cleaning brush. Convenient labels are also included for shampoo, lotion, body wash, and more. The clear zippered bag is made of durable polyester material with zipper closure and can be pulled out of your carry-on and placed on the TSA conveyor belt for easy inspection. Other colors are available too.
