Kindle Paperwhite E-Reader
A Kindle makes reading so much easier for dads who travel frequently. The classic Paperwhite has the look of a regular paperback (so it won’t scare off the technology reluctant), but the convenience of keeping all his books organized in once place. The no glare screen and long battery life are huge pluses, too.
Gourmet Grilled Cheese Crate
If he’s up for the challenge to make the ultimate grilled cheese, then you have to make sure he’s prepared with sauces, a cook book and a grilled cheese basket. There are plenty of other options for dad at Man Crates such as a Wing Master Crate and Micro Brewed Kit.

Herschel Supply Co. RFID Wallet

We’re certain he would love both the simple style and the price of this bifold, and the RFID protection keeps him safe from electronic theft.
Magnetic Bottle Opener
No more bottle caps all over the place. The beer drinkers in your life could really use this handy magnetic opener. It’s perfect for parties, and we love how it catches the caps at the bottom of magnets. Less messes for us!
