When Father’s Day comes around, it can prove challenging to come up with inspired and original gift ideas. Luckily, this travel gift guide is full of great gifts that are sure to go down well with dad, from gadgets that make life easier on the road, to compact inflight cocktail kits and bespoke handmade games.
Cavallini & Co Leather Journals
These classic soft-bound leather journals make documenting each journey even more of a joy. Handmade in Italy, the diaries come in a selection of hues, from traditional black or brown to vibrant persimmon or dusky blue.
Herschel Supply Chapter Travel Kit
Add an extra touch of style to luggage with travel accessories from the Canadian brand with Scottish roots, Herschel Supply Co. With an internal mesh sleeve and waterproof zipper, the Herschel Chapter Travel Kit is as durable and practical as it is stylish.
Brunton Power Knife
Designed to look like a pocket knife but addressing a common travel essential of today, the Brunton Power Knife combines the adapter ends used for most appliances in one compact gadget, enabling travellers to stay connected wherever they are.
SEYVR, The Power Saver Wallet
Combatting a problem we all know too well, the sleek leather SEYVR Power Saver Wallet enables you to charge your phone while travelling, using the wallet’s integrated battery, which can be recharged before leaving home via a USB cable. This item is especially useful for photography enthusiasts who want to get shots of every landmark.
Handpresso Pump
For the traveller who craves fresh coffee wherever they go, the Handpresso Pump is an indispensable gadget. This extremely compact espresso machine takes ESE pods or ground coffee and hot water (from a thermos, if you’re on the road) to make quality hand-pumped espresso. This gift could be accompanied by the Handpresso Pump Travel Case.
Walnut Studiolo Travel Dominoes
USA-based Walnut Studiolo makes bespoke leather and wood products, including a number of compact travel games. The Travel Dominoes also come in a handcrafted Baltic birch travel box with leather detailing. As well as providing entertainment, this is one set you’d be proud to show off.
The Carry on Cocktail Kit
This compact kit contains all of the ingredients and accessories you need to make two cocktails when combined with the liquor provided inflight. Choose from classics like The Old Fashioned and The Bloody Mary, or go for The Travel Pack, which provides three different Carry On Cocktail Kits in a canvas and leather bag.
Steve McCurry: The Iconic Photographs
For travel inspiration, there’s nothing quite like a coffee-table book. Many of the iconic photographs we’ve seen were taken by esteemed photographer Steve McCurry, so this retrospective The Iconic Photographs, of his portraits and other scenes, will have many recognisable images within its pages.
