Forget the ties and golf balls this year.

Make dad say "wow" with something new and innovative that he can use every single day. Fathers who travel for business aren't the only "traveling dads."

We've got every budget and every type of father covered, and rounded up eight travel-oriented gift ideas which will take dad to the gym, to school when he's picking up the kids, across the country on a family summer vacation, or around the world.

Happy Father's Day -- and happy traveling.

1. For the "Like to Travel Light" Dad

(eyn)

No need to carry around lots of stuff. The eyn, pronounced “n” and meaning “every­thing you need,” is just that. This smartphone case has a secret compartment, allowing dad to carry credit cards, cash, ID and even a built-in mirror. Father's Day gift idea: Include a family photo in the compartment for dad to find as he explores his gift.

6. For the "Kids Are Always On My Back and Shoulders" Dad

(Piggyback Rider)

The Piggyback Rider was this year's "Buzz Award" winner at The International Travel Goods Show. Anyone who's ever had a tired tot while out for the day knows it's wise to have a back-up plan, especially if your child has outgrown their stroller. Created by two real-life dads, the Piggyback Rider standing child carrier allows parents to carry a tike over two and a half, up to 60 pounds-- on their back. It functions like a backpack, utilizing a shoulder-mounted foot-bar to distribute the child’s weight at your core, enabling a natural, upright walking posture.

Perfect for daily trips to the office or the sandbox, the Active Backpack sports a reflective strip for increased visibility. Most importantly, its water-resistant bottom means liquids inside or outside the bag aren't going anywhere.
