1. Portable Workstation

A Father’s Day gift for the between-two-planes dads who need to own their always-shrinking cabin space. The Aero Tray is an ergonomic double-deck laptop workstation with a cup holder and a design that won’t make you hate the guy in front reclining their seat – Price: from $49.95

Boys will be boys. Even dads want the coolest new toys. At a time when drones are all the rage, the Lily Camera stands out as a cool Father’s Day gift for active dads.

4. Briefcase BBQ Grill

Get daddy this sleek stainless barbecue grill briefcase so he can quickly get down to grilling business. This portable briefcase has the built-in charcoal pit for on-the-go picnics à deux. Definitely a Father’s Day gift idea for kebab enthusiasts. Price: $80

5. Briefcase BBQ Set

This one is a complement to the gift above. What good is a briefcase BBQ grill without a matching briefcase containing the essential utensils every grill master must have.

This gift is for the active craft beer loving dads. The handlebar pub nub makes sure that the old man carries a handy bottle opener wherever he bikes, be it at the local pub or at the scenic end of an epic hiking. Price: $20

8. Pickpocket-Proof Clothing

For the head-in-the-clouds dad and the true globetrotters, Clothing Arts have developed the Pickpocket-Proof clothing lines. They combine the comfort of travel clothes with the secure design of travel money-belts. There are shirts, pants, and other pieces of clothing for every style and travel occasions. Price: varies.

9. Cigar Safari

There is nothing like a pilgrimage to the birthplace of your favorite products. That holds particularly true for cigars. The connoisseur dad will be forever grateful to visit the Esteli Valley in Nicaragua and the elegant Drew State to see how the tobacco leaves are rolled by hand.
