Mother’s Day gifts are easy. You can easily serve Mom breakfast in bed and she’ll be thrilled. But the search for the perfect Father’s Day gift can be a challenge. Dads really do seem perfectly happy with the standard greeting card and tie, but what do they really want?

If the Dad in your life is a traveling Dad, for business or pleasure, you are sure to find the perfect gift here.

So many Dads travel, for work or for just for the love of travel. Why not give them something this year that’s useful and meaningful. Let him know you love him and are thinking about him whether he is at home or abroad!

My #1 gift for a wanderer is a gorgeous picture book from Lonely Planet “You Only Live Once: A Lifetime of Experiences for the Explorer in All of Us.” Buy it for him. And this will happen. He will hug you. He will read the book. The drooling begins. He’ll grab a pen and paper and start making a list of places to visit and things to do. At this point, you swoop in and volunteer to be his adventure companion.
