GIFTS FOR THE TRAVELING DAD

Ryan's new job requires him to travel at least once a month, so this Father's Day I thought it would be great to give him gifts that make his travels feel more comfortable and stylish. I found so many great gifts on Amara.com. They are a retail site that specializes in luxury style and customer service. The site is curated so well it takes only seconds to find something "gift worthy." 

In fact, to make things easier for you this Father's Day they have a quiz that will help you figure out which kind of gifts your guy would love. It's a helpful starting point if you are a bit lost. (find the survey at the end of the post). 

For Ryan, however, no survey was needed because I knew there were certain travel essentials he would love. On our recent trip to New York City, he mentioned he really wanted a quality weekender bag. So, I got him this Bric's olive green (looks very brown in person), leather holdall bag. It's beautiful! I may have to steal it when I go out of town next. It's quality from top to bottom, and will be the perfect carry-on for short strips to Santa Barbara. 

Given that he works for Sonos and is a total audiophile, quality headphones for the on-the-go listening experience were an obvious gift as well. He has tiny ear buds, but they aren't the most comfortable things to wear for long flights. So, these KREAFUNK headphones will make him very happy. I'm a sucker for good packaging and design, and the box alone is pretty enough to simply put a bow on. 

If you have seen my latest cocktail series with Barrel Aged Dad, you know that Ryan is a lover of a good craft cocktail. A gin and tonic is Ryan's summertime cocktail of choice. Amara sells these adorable travel bar kits that include a jigger, linen napkin, tonic syrup, and a bar spoon. Just add alcohol and you are set (or jet set, rather). 

Lastly, to help Ryan feel like he has a piece of home with him, I thought a quality pair of UGG slippers would be the perfect touch. I have a pair myself, and they are the most comfortable things in the world. After a long day on my feet I love to slide my slippers on, and now he can too. 

All of these gifts took me only five minutes to find. Be sure to check out Amara.com for Father's Day or anytime you're on the hunt for the perfect gift. And take the survey below to get you started on your gift hunt:
