Father’s Day will be here before you know it; this year it’s on June 16. Father’s Day can be one of the more more puzzling holidays to buy presents for, as dads can be notoriously difficult to shop for. However, if the father in your life is a frequent flyer or a constant traveler, all sorts of interesting possibilities open up. As much fun as it is to visit and explore new places, the process of getting from place to place can be boring or uncomfortable, and adjusting to new places frequently can be complicated. There are lots of gifts that you can buy to make a frequent traveler’s Father’s Day great.
-
Make Traveling Easier. Does Dad spend a lot of time traveling in the car? In that case, a GPS system might be the way to go. The START Vehicle GPS system from TomTom starts at around $85, and increases in price depending on what options you want to add. If Dad is a frequent flyer, as opposed to a road tripper, you could consider purchasing an airport lounge pass in one of the cities that he frequently visits. Airports are rarely fun places to spend time in, but this will give him the chance to relax in comfort when he goes through that airport.
-
Adjust to Foreign Countries. If Dad frequently spends time overseas, there are a couple of practical gifts that might help him out when he’s away from home. A travel adapter and converter, for example, will make it easy for dad to use his electronic devices in whatever country he happen to be in. These start at around $40. If you know that dad has a trip coming up to a new place, consider purchasing a guidebook for that area. Fodor’s offers an excellent selection of guidebooks in paperback or ebook form. If Dad will be spending time in China, check out Parrot Learning’s Chinese Talking Travel Guidebook – China Edition. This guidebook helps English speakers trying to learn Mandarin while walking them through travel related scenarios. You can find it at the globallearningstore.com for around $100.

Give the Gift of Travel. If you have a larger budget and you want to send dad off on a great vacation, look into Saddle Creek Resort’s Two-Day, One-Night Stay-and-Play Golf Package. This California resort offers Dad the chance to play on one of the state’s top ten golf courses. Accommodations include unlimited use of the resort’s pool, jacuzzi, and gym. If Dad is more of a fisherman than a golfer, then consider a vacation rental on Bass Lake, California.
Shopping for Father’s Day gifts doesn’t have to be a daunting prospect, especially if Dad travels often for business or pleasure. There are no end of travel related gifts, gadgets, and packages out there, and you should be able to find something to fit any interest and any budget.
