Gadget gifts for the traveler Dad
2010-06-18
With Father's Day coming up, some might be looking for the perfect gift for dear old Dad. If Dad travels a lot for business or pleasure, there are a host of gift ideas that any father is sure to go crazy for.
There are a lot of travel chargers out there, but the Varta V-MAN might just be the most powerful. With lots of accessories - iPads, GPS, cell phones - that drain battery life, this charger makes a great gift. It works with almost any device and holds enough juice to charge a phone battery twice before it needs to be charged itself.
Some Dads love camping and grilling. For them, theres Zippo's Flexible Neck Utility Lighter. The modular design allows the lighter to be easily fit in even the most crowded campfires or grills.
Planning a roadtrip? It's not complete without a GPS. There are many devices on the market but the TomTom comes with a free subscription to their new traffic service. This might be good for the commuter Dad who wants to save time in the morning by avoiding jams.
If Dad is a business traveler, an iPad could make a great gift. These lightweight devices can replace a bulky laptop on trips, and a host of travel apps are available that'll point Dad in the right direction when looking for a restaurant or hotel.
