It’s almost Father’s Day! That means it’s time to show your appreciation for the hardworking dad in your life. A few weeks ago, we shared our Gift Guide for the Travelling Mom—now it’s dad’s turn!
Check out 5 Father’s Day gift ideas for the travelling dad, below.

Just ‘cause he’s a dad, doesn’t mean he can’t still be the life of the party! If the dad in your life prides himself on mixing a mean cocktail and enjoys entertaining guests, even at 30,000 feet, then why should he leave it all at home when he travels?
Indulge his inner mixologist with this Carry On Cocktail Kit. It comes with everything he needs to mix 2 delish drinks while in the air. From a Moscow Mule to a Singapore Sling, he’ll be set for his flight and beyond.
